Signs of Foundation Problems: Exterior Cracks
Exterior cracks are very common signs of a foundation problem. The house's foundation can be raising, settling, or even both.
Signs of Foundation Problems: Floor Cracks
Floor cracks can appear out of nowhere and in any room of the house, including the patio and the garage.
Signs of Foundation Problems: Wall Crack
Wall cracks are one of the worst signs of foundation stress because they are very visible to anyone around, and the cracks can extend to the ceiling.
Piers Installation Process: Concrete Removal
In some areas, concrete needs to get removed to start digging. Depending on the current condition of the concrete slabs determines if they should only cut a square to dig the hole or make a different technique as the one shown in the picture.
Piers Installation Process: Location
Every single location is selected by our engineering department with the help of the foreman in charge of the project. An in-deep analysis is made, and based on the house's needs and consumers' goals, the engineers select how many piers will get used and where.
Piers Installation Process: Distance is Key
The distance between each pier is critical because depending on how closed, or far away each pier is, the level of foundation support is determined.
Piers Installation Process: Heavy Machinery
Heavy machinery is always needed, especially when our team is working on an underpinning project.
Piers Installation Process: How Deep Should We Dig?
The answer is different for every homeowner since every house is distinct and is located in diverse places with different factors. However, generally speaking, our foundation repair team drills each pier from 7 to 10 feet until reaching the strata layer to provide a solid and strong stable foundation support.

As shown in this image, it looks like nothing happened, but in reality, the house foundation is stronger than ever before. Thanks to Arizona Foundation Solutions, this family will no longer have to worry about foundation problems ever again.
