Before & After Photos

When planning for a remodeling project, it's crucial to address any cracks in the foundation that may arise, potentially affecting the integrity of the structure. Recently, a family in Superior, AZ, encountered such a dilemma as their concrete slabs in the patio developed cracks in various directions, hinting at possible structural repair needs. However, they swiftly transformed this challenge into an opportunity by enlisting the expertise of a concrete crack repair company. With the assistance of these professionals, the family successfully rectified the issue, guaranteeing a secure foundation for their renovation endeavors.

In Sierra Vista, Arizona, the front porch of a residence is experiencing significant concrete cracking due to the compression or erosion of the underlying soil. These cracks are not only unsightly but also allow moisture to infiltrate beneath the slab, which can lead to further soil erosion and additional cracking. The aim of this project is to repair and seal the cracked concrete on the front porch to prevent further damage and restore its aesthetic appeal.

Team Members:

Foreman: Eduardo, who will oversee the entire project to ensure quality and efficiency.

Customer Care Representative: Aly, who will coordinate appointments and customer interactions.

Design Specialist: TJ, who will evaluate the problem areas and design the repair strategy.

Solution:

We will utilize NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant from Arizona Foundation Solutions, known for its long-lasting flexibility and resistance to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional sealants, NexusPro is UV-resistant and won't crack, bubble, or dry out, ensuring a durable repair solution.

Process:

Inspection: TJ will conduct an on-site evaluation to assess the extent of the damage on the front porch and determine the best repair approach.

Preparation: The crew, led by Eduardo, will drill and smooth the cracks, inserting a non-absorbent backer rod filler.

Application: NexusPro will be applied to seal the joints and cracks, providing a strong barrier against moisture and weather damage.

Finishing: A thin layer of native sand will be applied for a uniform and finished appearance.

Expected Outcomes:

The NexusPro solution is expected to provide a durable repair that enhances the front porch’s appearance and longevity. The sealed joints and cracks will prevent moisture infiltration and protect against soil compaction and washout.

This Apache Junction Homeowner reached out to us to repair his home's stem wall.  The issue had been getting worse & they wanted it fixed.

In Rio Verde, Arizona, a homeowner noticed significant cracks forming inside their home on the concrete floor. These cracks were a result of foundation settlement and other structural stressors, leading to concerns about the overall stability of the house. The homeowner reached out to Arizona Foundation Solutions, where Alysia, the customer care representative, promptly scheduled an inspection to evaluate the damage.

Design Specialist Melissa visited the home and conducted a thorough evaluation of the cracks. After identifying that the cracks were structurally significant, she recommended the use of carbon fiber crack stitching—a state-of-the-art solution that would effectively repair the cracks and prevent further damage from occurring inside the home. Melissa explained that carbon fiber’s strength, combined with its flexibility, would provide an economical and minimally invasive repair.

Project Execution:

Foreman Juan was assigned to oversee the crack stitching project inside the home. The process was carried out with careful attention to minimizing disruption to the homeowner’s daily life. Juan’s team followed a precise four-step method to repair the cracked flooring:

Cut the Crack: The team cut non-parallel slits along the cracked areas in the floor to prepare for reinforcement.

Install Carbon Fiber: High-strength carbon fiber laminates were installed into the slits, creating a strong bond to bridge the cracks.

Fill with Polyurethane: The cracks and slits were then filled with low-viscosity polyurethane, ensuring that the carbon fiber was securely adhered to the concrete for optimal reinforcement.

Grind the Surface Smooth: To restore the floor’s original look, the team ground the repaired areas smooth, leaving a clean finish inside the home.

The carbon fiber stitching system was not only highly effective but also required much less equipment and time compared to traditional concrete repair methods. This ensured a quicker and more affordable solution for the homeowner, without compromising the strength and longevity of the repair.

After the Project:

Once the repair was completed, the interior cracks in the concrete floor were stabilized, and the risk of future damage to the foundation was significantly reduced. The final result was a smooth, structurally sound floor, leaving the interior of the home looking just as it had before the cracks appeared.

The homeowner expressed great satisfaction with the process and outcome, praising the team for their professionalism and the minimally invasive nature of the repair. Under Juan’s leadership, the project was completed efficiently, restoring the safety and appearance of the home’s interior without major disruption.

Thanks to Arizona Foundation Solutions’ expertise in carbon fiber stitching, the homeowner now has a secure foundation and peace of mind. Melissa’s detailed assessment and Juan’s skilled supervision ensured the success of the project, preventing further interior damage while maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the space.
