Long-Lasting Solutions For Foundation Issues
The soils in the greater Phoenix area are some of the poorest in the country, heavily compacted and alkaline, full of clays, salts, and rocks. As experts in Phoenix foundation repair, we understand that the geology and semi-arid climates of the arid Southwest provide near ideal conditions for the formation of expansive and collapsing soils. And, unfortunately, problem soils are found throughout Arizona, from Yuma in the southwest to the northeast corner of the Colorado Plateau.

Signs and Symptoms
We complete hundreds of home foundation inspections in Phoenix each year, and we’re quite familiar with the signs and symptoms associated with a compromised foundation. These are some of the most common signs that we see throughout Central Arizona.
Uneven & Sloping Floors
Does it feel like you're walking up or downhill in your home? Uneven floors can be a sign of foundation settlement. However, it may also be that the slab floor alone has settled. There are times when your slab floor may sink independently of the foundation walls, damaging the floors but not necessarily the walls.
Drywall Cracks
Cracks in drywall throughout the house are one of the most common signs that a foundation is settling. Typical drywall cracks will appear around door frames and windows frames, on the ceiling, and in corners where walls meet. Recurring cracks and multiple patches are usually a good indicator that there's movement. Drywall cracks can also be a sign of settling crawl space supports and sinking floors or heaving floors.
Hard to Open/Close Doors & Windows
Sticking or hard to open and close doors and windows can be a sign that the frame has become out of square.
Leaning Fireplace or Chimney
A leaning or tilted chimney is typically a more noticeable foundation issue. It can also be a very dangerous problem when a chimney tilts or leans... The last thing someone wants is for a chimney to fall on their home, or worse, fall on their neighbor's property.
