The Owners of this 1980’s single family ranch style home reached out to us after noticing several signs of a foundation problem.

These signs included:

• Cracks in the drywall
• Cracks in the concrete stem wall
• Gaps / extra space between baseboards and the floor

The Homeowners reported some of these symptoms began a few years ago.  Over time, the existing cracks have gotten worse and new cracks (both interior & exterior) have begun to appear.  It was important to the Homeowner that the problem be fixed correctly; maintaining the property value and restoring peace of mind were among the driving factors.

This foundation repair project had a number of items addressed, including foundation settlement near the bay window.

One such homeowner reached out to Arizona Foundation Solutions after noticing significant cracks in their home's foundation and uneven floors, which were beginning to affect the safety and value of the property.

The project in Sun Lakes, Arizona, involves addressing foundation settlement issues that are threatening the structural integrity of a residential property. Foundation settlement is a common problem in Arizona, often caused by changes in moisture levels within the bearing soils. If left unresolved, this can lead to severe damage that surpasses practical repair capabilities.

Upon booking an appointment with our Customer Care Representative, Amanda, our Design Specialist, Eli, conducts a thorough evaluation of the property, including a manometer survey, to identify the root cause of the foundation issues. The analysis reveals that the house requires intervention to prevent further settlement.

The solution involves installing foundation push piers, which are crucial for stabilizing and raising the foundation. These piers are designed to bypass the problematic soils and transfer the building’s load to more stable strata below. Options include hydraulic piers for heavier loads and helical piers for lighter structures, ensuring a tailored approach to the specific challenges of each property.

Project Outcome: Foundation Stabilization and Repair

Under the supervision of Foreman Ricardo, the foundation repair project was successfully completed. The installation involved the use of our patented steel piering systems, designed to provide permanent structural support. The process began with the excavation of pits at strategic locations around the property, followed by trimming the footing to accommodate the pier brackets.

Using hydraulic rams, the steel piers were driven deep into the ground to reach stable bedrock or load-bearing strata, ensuring the foundation's weight is effectively transferred to these new support structures. Both hydraulic and helical piers were utilized where necessary to address the unique needs of the foundation.

The team worked meticulously to raise the structure hydraulically, correcting any settlement and restoring the building to its intended level. After completing the necessary adjustments, all jacking hardware was removed, and the excavated pits were backfilled to restore the landscape.

The repair not only addressed the immediate structural concerns but also provided a long-term solution that ensures the building's integrity. With the foundation stabilized, the property is now secure from future settlement issues, providing peace of mind to the homeowners.

Corrosion is the worst nightmare for any concrete stem wall. Corrosion deteriorates concrete stem walls from the inside out, and when the symptoms get visible, it is already too late. This family, down in Chandler, AZ, was facing some corrosion issues all over their house stem wall, but after a little research, the homeowners opted for getting experts on the matter since they were not looking for a temporal repair but for a permanent one.
