Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Settlement in Prescott, AZ

The Owners of this 1980’s Prescott, AZ single family basement home reached out to us after noticing signs of a potential foundation problem.  These foundation problem symptoms included: Interior wall cracks Exterior wall cracks Doors that are out of square Cracks in the brickwork After completing an initial, level A visual inspection, it was determined that a Forensic Engineered Report was needed. After examining the home and performing the manometer survey, Arizona Foundation Solutions believes the home could be experiencing foundation settlement at the northern, southern and western portions of the Basement as shown by the Signs of Stress and lower readings on the Topographical Map. The drop off in floor elevations on the topographical map is consistent with a foundation settlement pattern. 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.
