Before & After Photos

Composite interlocking can be performed to tie the broken pieces of the concrete together. The existing cracks will be cleaned and non-parallel lines will be cut across the existing cracks. Next carbon fiber laminate stitches will be inserted into the non-parallel cuts and then the gaps will be filled with a 2 part poly.

Finally, the crack should be ground smooth to minimize the differential. If done properly, this will allow the slab to function as one floating unit to help prevent the damages to flooring, ceiling and walls. If this is instead expansion joint separation, the joint should be cleaned, routed, and re-caulked with an expansive joint filler. 

After examining the home and performing the manometer survey, we believed the home could be experiencing foundation settlement at the north side, the south side and the west side of the home.

Our solution to the foundation settlement issue this home was experiencing was to underpin* the areas that are experiencing movement. *Underpinning is the process of installing deep foundation elements called piles. These piles are driven down past the unstable soils and are then locked up into load bearing strata that can support the loads that are put on them.

This home's new owner wated to address the foundation issues currently presenting in the house.

This photo set showcases a residential foundation repair project in Show Low, AZ, where push piers were installed to stabilize and level the home. The before photos show the exposed concrete slab with access points prepared for pier installation, while the after photos highlight the restored and leveled flooring as new materials are laid in place. This project demonstrates how push piers provide lasting structural support and allow homeowners to confidently move forward with interior upgrades.

In Show Low, Arizona, a commercial property owner faced a critical issue with the building's crawl space. The floors above the crawl space had started to sag, leading to uneven surfaces that were not only unsightly but also potentially hazardous for employees and visitors. The underlying support system had deteriorated due to high moisture levels and the increased load from recent renovations. Concerned about the structural integrity and safety of the building, the owner reached out to Arizona Foundation Solutions for a comprehensive evaluation and a long-term solution.

Foreman Steven, Customer Care Representative Elida, and Design Specialist Melissa from Arizona Foundation Solutions were assigned to the project. Melissa conducted a detailed assessment and recommended the installation of the SmartJack® Crawl Space Support System, a robust solution designed for commercial applications requiring additional support.

On the day of the installation, Steven and his crew arrived at the site with a clear plan. They meticulously marked the installation points for the SmartJack® systems and prepared the base by clearing and leveling the soil. To enhance the bearing capacity, well-compacted crushed stone was used, providing a stable foundation for the SmartJack® components.

The SmartJack® steel columns were then installed and adjusted to lift and stabilize the sagging floors. Each jack was securely fastened to the beams and floor joists, ensuring a precise and durable fit for the commercial property. The installation process, which included several SmartJacks® due to the building's size and the extent of the floor sagging, was completed within five days.

The results were immediate and impressive. The floors were restored to their original level, eliminating uneven surfaces and enhancing the overall safety and appearance of the building. The SmartJack® system's high load capacity and corrosion-resistant properties guarantee long-lasting support, crucial for the commercial property's demands.

The property owner was extremely pleased with the outcome and praised the Arizona Foundation Solutions team for their professionalism and efficiency. With the SmartJack® system in place, the building now has a stable and secure foundation, reducing the risk of future sagging and ensuring a safe environment for all occupants.
