Foundation repair, concrete repair and crawl space repair in Tucson, AZ
Tucson clay moves with the seasons. Your home does not have to.
USDA soil data rates the clay under Tucson at a high expansion risk, which means the ground gains volume with every monsoon and gives it back through the long dry spells. Foundations riding that cycle crack drywall, tilt floors, and stick doors a little more each year. Dalinghaus brings 2,000+ completed projects and a measurement first process to every Tucson evaluation.
Let's take the first step toward solid ground.
A local specialist will evaluate your foundation, walk you through the findings, and send a clear estimate. No cost, no pressure.

What we fix
Foundation problems we see in Tucson
Cracked Block Foundation
Ground under Tucson is mapped clay, with a high shrink swell rating. That is soil that pushes when it is wet and pulls away when it dries.
What this looks likeStucco Cracking
The pre 1980 stock in Tucson runs to 128,130 homes, which is where we most often find drainage that was never engineered.
What this looks likeSinking Foundation
The typical Tucson house dates to 1979, old enough that the ground under it has been through every wet spring and dry summer since.

Why foundations move in Tucson
Ground conditions
The mapped soil in Tucson is Mohave at about 40 percent of the survey, with Hantz and Tubac alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 100 percent clay. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 6.3 percent, a high shrink swell rating. Clay content is 100 percent inside the city and 25 percent countywide.
What these homes were built like
The typical house dates to 1979, and the single biggest block of the stock, 48,787 homes, went up in the 1970s. 128,130 of those homes predate 1980, which is where we most often find footing drains that were never installed and backfill that was never compacted. 29 percent of the housing here, 63,591 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. Mortgages sit on 63 percent of the owner occupied homes in Tucson.

What Arizona customers say
Jim Hughes earned my trust, answered my questions thoughtfully, and educated me on the foundation of my 72 year old Burnt Adobe home in Tucson. He was a friendly, knowledgeable, professional who took the time to understand our situation. I’m confident his recommendations will reflect a true portrayal of our needs and help us develop a practical plan to ensure our home’s foundation remains in solid condition. Thank You, Jim!
I'd like to commend the team at Dalinghaus Foundation Repair for a job well done repairing spalling in our stem wall in Tucson, AZ. Ted provided our inspection and proposal, maintaining good communication without undue pressure throughout our decision-making and permitting processes. Jaime coordinated with local permitting and Lesley kept us informed as to processes, payments and scheduling. Our construction team consisted of Thomas, Josh, and Desmond who arrived ready to work and on-time. They were professional, competent, courteous and kind, receptive to our questions, efficient in their work and thorough in their clean-up. We are grateful to the entire team at Dalinghaus for their help in preserving the integrity of our home and recommend their services without reservations.
So far I have only had a walk through and estimate. However, Ted was very pleasant and professional in his review of the items needing attention. He was also prompt in sending me an estimate.

What Tucson homeowners ask
Don't see your question here? Our team is happy to help. Reach out anytime.
Expansion risk describes how much a soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry. USDA data rates Tucson clay high, so the moisture swing between monsoon season and the dry months physically moves the ground under homes here more than in most of Arizona.
