Scottsdale, AZ Maricopa County

Foundation repair, concrete repair and crawl space repair in Scottsdale, AZ

Scottsdale sits on caliche. Your repair plan should know that.

Scottsdale homeowners have dealt with difficult ground since the town incorporated in 1894: a caliche layer, sometimes six feet thick and as hard as cement, sits just below the surface. USDA data confirms rock dominant conditions with a low expansion risk, which changes how repairs are engineered rather than whether they work. We bring equipment and methods matched to it.

About Scottsdale

A closer look at Scottsdale

Scottsdale is a Maricopa County town in Arizona. The population is about 240,537, spread across roughly 115,826 households. Of the occupied homes, 67 percent are owner occupied; 73,006 are detached single family.

Jobs run out of the Phoenix office, 21 miles up the road and about 35 minutes out. Maricopa County carries 1,189,056 detached single family homes in total, 65 percent owner occupied. This town accounts for about 6 percent of the county's housing. The county around it counts about 4,491,987 residents across 1,850,862 housing units. 35,586 homes went up in the 1990s, more than in any other decade, and the median build year is 1990. The Census puts Scottsdale at a median home value of $651,800 and a median household income of $104,197. Owners hold 77,574 of the occupied homes, renters the other 38,252. Homes built before 1980 make up 36 percent of the stock, 41,406 in all.

Population and housing figures: American Community Survey, by way of the Signature Media market data set.

Local conditions

Why foundations move in Scottsdale

Ground conditions

The mapped soil in Scottsdale is Dixaleta at about 40 percent of the survey, with Momoli and Nickel alongside it. The texture split is 20 percent sand. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 1.5 percent, a low shrink swell rating.

What these homes were built like

The 1990s put up more homes than any other decade, 35,586 of them, and the median year built is 1990. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 41,406 homes here, and that is the group where original drainage is usually the story. 34 percent of the housing here, 39,658 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. 62 percent of owner occupied homes here carry a mortgage, which is usually why a lender or an appraiser is the first to ask about a crack.

What Arizona customers say

Jim came out to do the inspection and was very professional, thorough and answered all my questions. Explained the two options, how long it would take and what it would take to do either one. Very satisfied with the inspection.

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.

Ted Ballinger with Dalinghaus Construction came out to my home and did a great job explaining the process and showing where the trouble spots were in my home. Great job Dalinhaus and special thanks to Ted for a job well done.

Scottsdale questions

What Scottsdale homeowners ask

Don't see your question here? Our team is happy to help. Reach out anytime.

Caliche is a cement hard subsoil layer found just below the surface across Scottsdale, sometimes up to six feet thick. It is strong but uneven, and the soil pockets around and above it can still move, so repairs have to be planned and installed with the layer in mind.
