Before & After Photos

The homeowners in Sun Lakes were facing significant issues with their concrete driveway. Over time, the driveway had settled unevenly, leading to noticeable trip hazards and water pooling during rains. The cracks in the concrete not only detracted from the home's curb appeal but also posed a safety risk. The soil beneath the driveway had compressed, causing the slabs to sink and shift. The uneven surfaces and visible cracks were a constant concern for the homeowners.

Anthony, the project foreman, led the team in implementing a comprehensive concrete protection system using PolyLevel, NexusPro, and DecoShield. Eli, the design specialist, conducted a thorough evaluation and proposed the following solutions:

PolyLevel Injection:

The team injected PolyLevel foam beneath the sunken driveway slabs. This lightweight, yet powerful foam expanded to lift and stabilize the slabs, creating a level and safe surface. The quick-curing properties of PolyLevel allowed the homeowners to use their driveway almost immediately after the application.

NexusPro Crack Repair:

To address the existing cracks, NexusPro, a durable silicone-based sealant, was applied. This product's flexibility and resistance to harsh weather conditions ensured long-lasting protection. The NexusPro sealant prevented moisture from seeping through the cracks, thereby protecting the underlying soil from further damage.

DecoShield Sealing:

To enhance and protect the newly leveled and repaired concrete driveway, DecoShield was applied. This translucent tinted sealer added a uniform look to the driveway, significantly boosting the home's curb appeal. The DecoShield sealer also provided a protective barrier against stains, chemicals, and moisture, ensuring the concrete would remain in excellent condition for years to come.

The transformation was remarkable. The uneven and cracked driveway was restored to a smooth, level, and visually appealing state. The homeowners were thrilled with the results, enjoying a safer and more attractive driveway. Thanks to the expertise of Anthony, Amanda, and Eli, along with the advanced solutions of PolyLevel, NexusPro, and DecoShield, the project in Sun Lakes was a resounding success.

In Chandler, Arizona, a residential property owner noticed troubling horizontal cracks forming along the exterior foundation walls of their home. These cracks, initially small, were signs of a deeper issue stemming from the oxidation of the rebar within the stem wall. If left unaddressed, this could lead to severe spalling and further structural damage.

Recognizing the potential danger, the homeowner contacted Arizona Foundation Solutions for an assessment. Nevaeh, the Customer Care Representative, promptly scheduled an appointment for a detailed evaluation. Alex, the Design Specialist, visited the site and identified the issue as a typical case of stem wall deterioration, which is common in Arizona due to the porous nature of concrete that allows moisture to penetrate, leading to oxidation and subsequent cracking.

The homeowner had previously considered traditional repair methods such as patching, epoxy injection, and standard rebar replacement. However, these solutions are often temporary, as they do not fully prevent future oxidation and cracking. Understanding the limitations of these conventional methods, Alex recommended Arizona Foundation Solutions' advanced Stem Wall Repair System as a more reliable, long-term solution.

After the Project:

With the decision made, Eduardo, the Foreman overseeing the project, and his team began the stem wall repair process. They utilized Arizona Foundation Solutions' proprietary repair system, designed specifically to address and prevent the underlying causes of stem wall failure.

This advanced system effectively halted the oxidation process, ensuring that the repaired stem wall would remain intact and secure for years to come. Unlike traditional methods, which often require repeated repairs, this system provided a permanent solution to the homeowner's stem wall issues, offering peace of mind and long-term structural stability.

Upon completion, the homeowner was pleased to see the cracks no longer visible and the foundation restored to its original strength. The successful repair not only enhanced the structural integrity of the home but also increased its overall value. Nevaeh followed up with the homeowner to ensure satisfaction, and the property was left in excellent condition, with no further signs of cracking or damage.

Conclusion:

Arizona Foundation Solutions provided a reliable and cost-effective stem wall repair that addressed the root cause of the issue, preventing future problems. The combination of Nevaeh’s efficient customer care, Alex’s expert evaluation, and Eduardo’s skilled execution resulted in a successful project that protected the homeowner’s investment for years to come.
