Positive Results: Ongoing Installation & Validation Program for Foundation Solutions in Arizona

We are thrilled to provide an update on our systems installation, which has been ongoing for 19 months (excluding our experimental work in 2003), resulting in over 180 successful installations to date. The response from the marketplace has been exceptional, highlighting the growing demand for our solutions.

To ensure the effectiveness and reliability of our systems, we have initiated a comprehensive validation and verification program in collaboration with Arizona State University and Copper State Engineering, a local forensic geotechnical engineering firm. This program involves revisiting each installation after 6 months to conduct rigorous measurements and assessments.

Positive Preliminary Results: No Heave Increase, Effective Water Removal

While we are still in the process of analyzing and tabulating all the data, we are pleased to report some preliminary findings. First, we have observed that no house has experienced an increase in heave after the system installation, with the exception of one house that had an addition outside the original stem wall. Additionally, all the houses measured have either experienced a small drop or up to a 1/2" drop in heave, indicating positive outcomes.

Moreover, our esteemed engineer, David Deatherage PE, has calculated that our system is effectively removing up to 70 lbs of water per day from underneath the foundation. These promising results further reinforce the benefits and value of our MoistureLevel Smart Foundation System.

Anecdotal Success: Effective System withstood Massive Water Leak

We would also like to share an anecdotal success story. In 2008, near Stapley and I-60, an area known for expansive soil, I personally purchased a house with significant cracks in the floors and ceilings. After performing cosmetic repairs, I later installed our MoistureLevel Smart Foundation System. Recently, my tenant informed me of a rapid water flow sound beneath the floor slab. Upon investigation, we discovered a substantial water leak that resulted in approximately 100,000 gallons of water accumulating under the slab, according to SRP. Despite this significant challenge, the impact on the foundation movement has been minimal, showcasing the effectiveness of our system.

As we continue to analyze and organize the extensive data we are collecting, we are committed to sharing our findings with you. We look forward to presenting more detailed information in the near future, demonstrating the tangible benefits and success of our systems in addressing foundation-related issues. Stay tuned for further updates.
