This mid century, Tucson, Arizona home was experiencing signs of a foundation problem. A Level B Foundation Investigation determined that Foundation Settlement was a the root of the problem.
The owners of this 1958 brick bungalow reached out to Arizona Foundation Solutions after noticing some perimeter cracks on this charming house.
A level B Foundation Investigating concluded the home was experiencing foundation settlement. Foundation settlement can be caused by one or any combination of many factors including sub-grade saturation of moisture due to poor drainage, years of storm runoff, plumbing leaks, improper compaction, the lack of a proper foundation system, and/or (in most cases) natural earth movement.
After examining the home and performing the manometer survey, Arizona Foundation Solutions believes this Tucson, Arizona home could be experiencing foundation settlement in the southwestern portion of the home. We believe that the proper way to permanently stop the perimeter foundation settlement is to underpin the areas that are experiencing movement.

In Prescott Valley, Arizona, a homeowner was facing sagging floors and structural issues in their crawl space due to weakened beams and floor joists. The problem, caused by prolonged moisture exposure and excess load after construction, posed a significant risk to the stability of their home. The homeowner reached out to Arizona Foundation Solutions for help.
Amanda, the Customer Care Representative, booked an appointment for the homeowner to meet with Chris, the Design Specialist. After a thorough inspection of the crawl space, Chris identified that the best solution was to install SmartJack® crawl space support jacks. These adjustable, corrosion-resistant jacks would provide the necessary support to stabilize the sagging floors and ensure long-term structural integrity. The installation would be overseen by Alonso, the experienced project foreman, ensuring quality and timely completion of the project.
After Project Description:
Following the installation of SmartJack® crawl space support jacks by Arizona Foundation Solutions, the home in Prescott Valley, Arizona, is now stabilized and secure. Alonso, the foreman, led the project, ensuring precise installation of the SmartJack® system under the weakened floor joists. The SmartJack® units, capable of supporting up to 30,000 pounds, were installed on a well-compacted crushed stone base, distributing the load evenly to prevent future settlement.
Thanks to the corrosion-resistant galvanized coating of the SmartJack® system, the homeowner can rest assured that the crawl space will remain protected from moisture damage for years to come. Chris, the Design Specialist, also informed the homeowner that the system could easily be adjusted in the future if needed, offering long-term flexibility. Amanda, the Customer Care Representative, followed up after the project to ensure complete satisfaction, marking another successful SmartJack® installation in Prescott Valley.
