Photo Album: Foundation Repair - San Tan Valley, AZ

This San Tan Valley, AZ home was showing signs of a foundation issues. The Homeowner called Arizona Foundation Solutions to diagnose & repair the foundation. Our team of engineers went out and performed a manometer survery and found that the southern portion of the home was experiencing settlment. The solution is to underpin the home where there settlement. Foreperson Daniel Alston and his crew installed many piers around the home to stablize and lift the home's foundation. These piers go deep into the ground past the unstable soil to stablize the home's foundation

Beginning of Excavation

One of our Homeowner Heroes running the excavator to get the holes dug for the piers.

Cut it Out

For some areas of the home piers needed to be installed under concrete. This involves cutting out some concrete to dig the hole.

Hand Digging

Once the concrete is cut out the crew can hand dig the dirt out.

Hand Digging - 2

Hand digging also allows the crew to be more precise. This in important as the piers need to go deep into the ground.

Excavation Complete

Same portion of the home from earlier but now you can see the holes of been dug and the crew is ready to install the piers.
