Sealing cracks and Joints Down Sierra, Vista in Arizona

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.

Crack Stitching Repair Down in Rio Verde, Arizona

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.
