Is Your Foundation Settling?
Your home’s foundation is the most important structural component of the building. When it shifts, settles, or becomes uneven, the effects show up throughout the house, and they can get worse quickly if left unaddressed.
Trusted Foundation Repair of Arizona specializes in foundation leveling for homes across the Arizona including Phoenix Metro Areas, Tucson, and Northern Arizona Communities. If your home is showing signs of foundation movement, the sooner you act, the less it typically costs to fix.
Common Signs Your Foundation Needs Leveling:
Foundation problems rarely announce themselves loudly. Most homeowners first notice subtle symptoms that can be easy to dismiss. Watch for:
Cracks in drywall, especially diagonal cracks near door frames and window corners
Doors or windows that stick, won’t close properly, or have visible gaps
Floors that visibly slope or feel uneven underfoot
Cracks in tile flooring, especially along grout lines near the center of rooms
Visible cracks in the exterior brick, stucco, or block of your home
Gaps forming between walls and the ceiling or floor
A crawl space or garage floor that has noticeably dropped
Foundation problems don’t fix themselves, and the longer they go, the more expensive they typically become.

How We Level and Stabilize Foundations
There’s no single solution that works for every foundation. After a thorough inspection, we recommend the approach best suited to your home’s structure, soil conditions, and the extent of the settlement. Our methods include:
Helical Piers
Steel helical piers are screwed deep into stable soil or bedrock far below the surface. They are then connected to your foundation with steel brackets and used to lift and stabilize the structure. Helical piers are ideal for lighter structures or areas with variable soil.
Push Piers
Hydraulic push piers are driven straight down through unstable soil until they hit load-bearing soil or rock. They then support and can lift the foundation from below. Push piers are well-suited for heavier structures and significant settlement.
Slab Jacking / Foam Injection
For slab-on-grade foundations with modest settlement, we can use polyurethane foam injection to fill voids and re-level the slab without the need for piers.
Frequently Asked Questions - Foundation Leveling/Repair
Q: How do I know if my foundation problem is serious?
A: Not every crack means a structural emergency. Hairline cracks in drywall are common and often cosmetic. The warning signs for serious problems are: diagonal cracks wider than 1/4 inch, multiple doors or windows that have started sticking at the same time, or any visible shift in the exterior walls. When in doubt, get a free inspection.
Q: Will my homeowner’s insurance cover foundation repair?
A: Standard homeowner’s policies typically exclude gradual foundation settlement but may cover sudden, accidental damage (like a burst pipe washing out soil). It’s worth reviewing your policy and filing a claim if the cause was sudden. We can provide detailed documentation.
Q: Can a settled foundation be fully fixed, or just stabilized?
A: In most cases, we can both stop further movement and recover a meaningful amount of the original elevation. A full return to perfectly level is not always possible, but we set realistic expectations during the estimate and explain exactly what outcomes are achievable for your home.
Q: How long does foundation leveling take?
A: Most residential foundation leveling jobs take 1–3 days depending on the size of the area and the method used. We work with minimal disruption to your home and landscaping.
Q: Is there a warranty on foundation leveling work?
A: Yes. All of our foundation leveling work is covered by a warranty. The specific terms depend on the method used, and we’ll walk you through it before any work begins.
Q: Do I need to move out of my home during repairs?
A: No. In virtually all cases, you can remain in your home during foundation leveling work. The process is exterior-focused and does not require access to your living areas in most cases.
