Concrete fails in two different ways and they need two different answers. A slab that has cracked, spalled, pitted, or flaked has a surface and material problem: water found a way in, a joint stopped absorbing movement, road salt or pool chemistry attacked the top layer, or the slab shrank as it cured and opened a line. Serving Chandler and the surrounding Maricopa County.
A local specialist will evaluate your foundation, walk you through the findings, and send a clear estimate. No cost, no pressure.

Concrete Repair in Chandler
Chandler lies inside Maricopa County in Arizona. Census figures put the town at about 275,618 residents and 104,419 households. Detached single family houses number 74,765, and 65 percent of occupied homes are owner occupied.
Work here is served from the Phoenix office, about 20 minutes away at 12 miles. Maricopa County carries 1,189,056 detached single family homes in total, 65 percent owner occupied. That is about 6 percent of every housing unit in Maricopa County. Maricopa County holds about 4,491,987 people and 1,850,862 housing units in total. Half the housing predates 1997, and the 1990s were the busiest building years at 32,705 homes. A median home value of $423,900 and a median household income of $99,374 is what the American Community Survey records. The split is 67,461 owner occupied to 36,958 rented. Roughly 11 percent of the housing here, 11,284 homes, went up before 1980, when footing drains and grade separations were not what they are now.

What we fix
Ground under Chandler is mapped sand, with a low shrink swell rating. Soil like that tends to compress rather than swell, which is why what we find here is usually settlement rather than heave.
What this looks likeOf the housing here, 11,284 homes predate 1980, with the biggest block of it going up in the 1990s. Original drainage is usually the story on those.
What this looks likeThe typical Chandler house dates to 1997, old enough that the ground under it has been through every wet spring and dry summer since.
What this looks likeLocal conditions
Soil mapping within Chandler returns Antho at about 40 percent of the survey, with Mohall and Gilman alongside it. The texture split is 20 percent clay and 60 percent sand. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 2.7 percent, a low shrink swell rating. Clay content is 20 percent inside the city and 12 percent countywide.
The 1990s put up more homes than any other decade, 32,705 of them, and the median year built is 1997. 11,284 of those homes predate 1980, which is where we most often find footing drains that were never installed and backfill that was never compacted. 22 percent of the housing here, 22,534 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. Of the owner occupied homes, 74 percent carry a mortgage.

"Under Chandler the mapped soil is sand, rated low for shrink swell. Concrete repair here is not generic. It has to match what the ground is doing."
Our approach
A slab that has dropped out of level has a soil problem, which is a concrete leveling question rather than a concrete repair one. This silo is the first kind, and the free evaluation sorts your concrete into one bin or the other before anyone quotes anything. Most concrete repair work starts with water, because water is what turns a cosmetic line into a structural one.
A hairline crack that stays dry can sit there for years. The same crack fed by a downspout or a sprinkler carries water to the soil below, and the freeze, the swell, and the washout that follow widen it every season. That is why routing and sealing a crack properly is worth more than it looks, why a sealed joint is the cheapest repair on this site, and why we look at drainage on every visit rather than only at the concrete.
We repair driveways, walkways, patios, pool decks, garage floors, steps, and commercial flatwork across California, Arizona, and Nevada. Surface damage comes with its own vocabulary, and the concrete repair warning signs page walks through the patterns we see most: cracks that widen, expansion joints that have given up, pitting and flaking where the top layer scaled away, and the gaps that open where a slab meets a wall. Each of them points at one of the concrete repair methods we actually use, and none of them points at demolition by default.
Dalinghaus Foundation Repair has completed more than 2,000 projects across the three states since brothers Brian and Brad Dalinghaus founded the company in 2011. Every concrete project starts with a free evaluation: we measure how far the slab has moved, read what the damage pattern is telling us, and put the findings and the options in writing whether or not you hire us, including the option to seal it and watch it for a season.

Jim was awesome! Free estimate was actually free. He did the work to look at my mother’s foundation, lidar scanned the house, found the issues and presented the best solutions.
My representative Ted Ballinger was amazing. He was punctual, very informative, thorough and just overall gave an amazing experience. Dalinghaus Construction… great job finding Ted. I will be calling you if I ever need your expertise in the future and will recommend you to anyone who also might need anything. Thank you.
Thomas and JD arrived on time, they explained what they were going to do. They answered my questions. Then they did it all over again for my wife. Then they got out their equipment and worked quickly and efficiently. It was amazing to hear and see the foundation of my house actually moving back into location. We saw the cracks close up and disappear!
