Before & After Photos

This Gilbert, Arizona homeowner had an uneven concrete walkway that was starting to show signs of settlement and cracking along the joints. Our crew used PolyLevel® to lift and level the slabs back into proper alignment, eliminating potential trip hazards. Once level, NexusPro® joint sealant was applied to protect the joints from water infiltration and sun exposure — keeping the walkway stable and looking great for years to come.

In Gilbert, Arizona, homeowners often face the challenge of dealing with horizontal cracks in their foundation walls, known as stem walls. These cracks, though they might start small, are usually a sign of a bigger problem: oxidizing rebar. Ignoring these cracks can lead to more severe damage over time. Traditional repair methods, such as patching the cracks, epoxy injection, and standard rebar replacement, often fail because they too are susceptible to oxidization, causing the cracks to reopen or new ones to form.

This concrete repair project in Gilbert, AZ focused on restoring a long structural crack running through the homeowner’s driveway. The damaged section was professionally sealed using high-performance materials to prevent future widening, stop water intrusion, and improve the overall appearance of the surface. The finished result shows a smooth, reinforced repair designed to protect the concrete for years to come while enhancing curb appeal.

In the quiet neighborhood of Gilbert, AZ 85295, a charming one-story adobe-style home faced a hidden but worsening threat. Subtle signs had been building over time—hairline cracks snaking along the stucco walls, a once-smooth slab floor that now sloped unevenly, and doors that stuck no matter how carefully they were adjusted. As soil conditions beneath the home shifted, the foundation began to settle, taking with it the homeowner’s sense of safety and the property’s long-term value.

What once felt like minor annoyances became major stressors. The real estate agent overseeing the property, Abby, knew something had to be done before the damage escalated or affected resale potential.

The Search for a Solution: No Room for Guesswork

Temporary fixes and cosmetic repairs couldn’t mask the deeper issue—structural instability. The homeowners needed more than a patch job. Foundation problems are complex and can’t be resolved with general contracting or DIY methods. The soil beneath the home was unstable, and without expert intervention, the home was at risk of continued settlement and costly future repairs.

Why Saber Foundation Repair?

After researching companies and weighing their options, the homeowner turned to Saber Foundation Repair, drawn by its reputation for thorough inspections, expert solutions, and lasting results. The Supportworks-certified team quickly earned trust through transparency, professionalism, and a no-pressure consultation.

What stood out? Saber’s clear explanation of the problem, their tailored solution using foundation push piers, and a reassuring 25-year manufacturer's warranty, plus Saber’s own performance and installation guarantees. This wasn’t just a fix—it was a permanent solution.

The Repair Process: 19 Push Piers, Minimal Disruption, Maximum Stability

Saber Foundation Repair deployed a crew of trained professionals to the Gilbert home. Their plan: install 19 heavy-duty push piers beneath the foundation, each carefully hand-dug in precise locations along the home's perimeter.

Push piers are designed to reach load-bearing soil deep underground—making them ideal for unknown or unstable soil conditions like those in this area. The Saber team located all necessary utilities, obtained permits, and began work with minimal disturbance to the home and surrounding landscape. Every pier was installed with care to reduce noise and mess, and trenching was performed efficiently around obstacles like HVAC systems and trees.

The piers were attached to the foundation with steel brackets, driven deep into the earth until stable strata were reached. Soil was then backfilled, and concrete repair work was completed seamlessly.

The Transformation: Restored Confidence, Reinforced Value

By the end of the project, the results were clear—both visually and structurally. The home now rests on solid ground, its foundation stabilized permanently. Cracks ceased widening, interior floors no longer sloped, and doors opened and closed with ease.

Where once there was risk, now stood a home that was safe, secure, and ready for the market.

Emotional Engine: Why Waiting Isn't Worth the Risk

Foundation issues rarely get better with time—and the longer they’re ignored, the more expensive and dangerous they become. This project demonstrates how Saber Foundation Repair provides not just technical solutions but peace of mind. With expert diagnostics, honest evaluations, and proven products like push piers and slab repair, they eliminate the guesswork and deliver results that last.

A Win for Everyone: Stability Today, Value Tomorrow

Fixing the foundation didn’t just resolve safety concerns—it added measurable value and longevity to the home. Whether planning to sell or stay, the homeowner protected their investment and avoided the mounting costs of inaction.

Project Overview: In Gilbert, Arizona, a homeowner is experiencing stem wall cracking at the front corner of their house. The homeowner is preparing to sell their home, and a realtor referred them to Arizona Foundation Solutions for an inspection. The foreman overseeing this project is Eli, with Amanda handling the booking of appointments, and John (Bo), the design specialist, assessing the issue.

Problem: Stem wall cracks, especially in the dry and harsh climate of Arizona, are a common occurrence. The front corner of this home has visible cracks that may compromise the structural integrity of the foundation, potentially affecting the home’s value during its sale. In many cases, previous stem wall repairs fail prematurely due to improper techniques, such as temporary fixes like epoxy injections or polymer-based methods. These methods do not address the root cause of the issue: rusting rebar caused by chloride ion migration within the concrete.

Goal: The goal of this project is to conduct a thorough evaluation of the stem wall to assess the damage and recommend a long-lasting solution that adheres to the highest industry standards. By engaging Arizona Foundation Solutions, the homeowner aims to resolve the cracks with effective, permanent repairs before selling the property.

After Project Description:

Project Completion Summary: Arizona Foundation Solutions successfully completed the stem wall repair for the homeowner in Gilbert, Arizona, under the guidance of Eli, the project foreman. The customer care representative, Amanda, coordinated the appointments seamlessly, while John (Bo), the design specialist, carefully evaluated the stem wall cracks.

Solution: Following a comprehensive assessment, the root cause of the stem wall cracks was identified as rusting rebar due to chloride ion migration. To ensure a long-lasting repair, Arizona Foundation Solutions employed industry-standard methods, including the removal of damaged concrete, sandblasting the exposed rebar to a pristine condition, and applying a protective ion-blocking epoxy coating. The stem wall was then repaired using an anodic-based repair mortar, which is designed to prevent future rusting and deterioration.

Outcome: The repair not only restored the structural integrity of the foundation but also increased the home's market value by resolving a key structural concern. The repair was completed following all International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI) guidelines, ensuring a durable and lasting solution that will withstand Arizona's challenging climate. The homeowner can now proceed with the sale of their home confidently, knowing the stem wall has been properly repaired and reinforced.
