Before & After Photos

In Tempe, Arizona, a homeowner reached out with concerns about visible cracks in their concrete foundation and floor. These issues were causing not only structural concerns but also potential safety hazards. Aly, our Customer Care Representative, scheduled a consultation for the homeowner with Victor, our Design Specialist, to assess the severity and source of the cracking.

Upon inspection, Victor identified that the cracks were likely due to settlement issues, a common problem in the region’s soil. To provide a durable and cost-effective solution, he recommended the Crack Stitching Repair technique, which utilizes high-strength carbon fiber laminates to reinforce and repair the cracked concrete.

Our certified team, led by Foreman Juan, prepared to execute this repair. Using carbon fiber in construction for foundation crack repairs offers remarkable strength without the need for heavy equipment. By employing materials like Glass, Kevlar, and Carbon Composites, which have been used in industries such as aerospace, we deliver a modern and resilient solution to homeowners experiencing similar issues.

Project Solution:

Solution: Arizona Foundation Solutions, certified in HJ3 Composites’ installation techniques, offers Crack Stitching Repair services that efficiently restore the integrity of cracked foundations and concrete floors. Unlike traditional methods involving steel dowels, our carbon fiber stitching system offers a quick and minimally invasive process. The steps include:

Cutting the crack into non-parallel slots in the concrete.

Installing high-strength carbon fiber laminates within the cuts.

Filling the area around the laminates with a low viscosity polyurethane for stability.

Smoothing the surface to ensure a seamless finish.

This method restores the concrete to a strong, reinforced state, extending its durability for years to come and maintaining a smooth, level surface.

Corrosion can be very harmful when it gets in contact with metal. This family, down in Prescott, AZ, was struggling with serious oxidation problems in any areas of the stem wall. After doing some research, the homeowners decided to look for an expert's opinion to provide them with a long-lasting and efficient solution.

A family in Casa Grande, Arizona, was increasingly concerned about the longevity and appearance of their concrete surfaces. With numerous oil stains marring their driveway and patio, they sought a solution that would not only protect their concrete from the harsh Arizona summers but also enhance its visual appeal. They wanted a fresh, new look for their concrete without compromising its integrity.

After contacting Arizona Foundation Solutions, Customer Care Representative Brianna swiftly booked an appointment for an evaluation. Design Specialist Curtis assessed the situation and recommended the DecoShield concrete staining solution. Foreman Gamalier was tasked with overseeing the project to ensure top-notch results.

Thanks to the expert team at Arizona Foundation Solutions, a family in Casa Grande, Arizona, now enjoys beautifully stained concrete surfaces that are both protected and visually appealing. Using DecoShield's advanced concrete staining process, the team successfully transformed the oil-stained and mismatched concrete floors into stunning, uniform slabs.

The 4-step process began with surface preparation using a special etching liquid, followed by a thorough power wash. After drying, the tinted concrete stain was applied in a series of coats, culminating in a final sealing coat. The result is a concrete surface that is resistant to pitting, flaking, and moisture-related damage, ensuring longevity and durability.

The translucent tinted DecoShield not only enhanced the appearance with a range of vibrant concrete stain colors but also protected the concrete from chemicals, moisture, and UV rays. The family's driveway and patio now boast a fresh, cohesive look that significantly boosts their home's curb appeal. With Gamalier overseeing the project, the implementation was seamless, and the results were outstanding, making their outdoor spaces ready for summer barbecues and pool parties.
