Concrete Repairman® Reviews

James saved me close to $8k, identified the root cause of the problem, and we were able to save a large tree.

One of my rental units had buckling of tiles. For the past few months, we’ve had professionals come out and even an insurance agent. Each foundation expert gave us a different advice and we were left confused. From injecting polyurethane around the house to injection slurry at the affected site. Each recommendation costed between $4-$8k. I met with James, very professional. He took a look at the property and within 5 minutes diagnosed the problem and it wasn’t even foundation related! When he told me if was humidity and vapors causing the buckling of the tiles, I kinda thought…this guy believes in voodoo magic. Well, we broke out one the tiles to look underneath and low and behold, the foundation was flat underneath and that the tiles really did pull up. So the fix? Pull out the tiles, re-grout, and set them back in place with grout that allows for expansion such as siliconized grout. Isn’t that crazy?? I also speculated that a large exterior tree may have been the culprit of the ground moving. We went outside looked around and he basically said the tree is fine and does not need to be removed. I gave James a great big hug for really helping us with this situation.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Lesson learned: For something as big as a foundation issue, make sure to get several opinions.

TL:DR

We are very pleased with James and his guys. We had three companies come out to look at our foundation problem. James explained exactly what was happening and how to fix it. He was the only person who wanted to actually stop the problem from getting worse and fix it properly. The others companies wanted to do a band aid. This was a case of, you get what you pay for. We wanted it done right and not have to revisit the problem in a couple years and waste money. The guys who did the job were awesome. Hard working and we’re done a day early. Polite and informative. Thanks for giving us confidence.

Multiple cracks at foundation in the front yard. Need estimation. I was wondering what the cost of an inspection on the foundation would cost? We already have bought our home in Dec. 2018 and are just now finding out about some of the problems in this area with the homes.

The foundation seems to be the culprit in most of the complaints around here. Foundation around the house and in garage cracking and chunks of concrete missing. Typical for this area from what I’ve seen.

My floor is sloping down wards, there is a crack running east/west through a portion of the home. I would like to have you come out and evaluate the issues and advise me on possible repairs. Medium sized cracks in interior floors.

Hi- would someone be able to come out and give me an estimate for the repair of my stem wall? It looks like several of your videos with the spalling and cracking. I chipped it apart some and exposed a rusty anchor bolt for the sill plate. It wasn’t hard to do as the concrete seemed to be in a weakened state. Thanks.

I would like to talk to someone about setting up an inspection and quote for repair. The outside footer around my house has cracks in some areas. One corner has what appears to be a metal strap that has rusted through and broke off.

Part of my glued-down hardwood floor ‘popped up’ and I couldn’t explain why…except to look for cracks in the concrete underneath. The 2 known cracks that existed when I bought the house 4 years ago have gotten wider and longer and a third is new. I want to keep this from getting worse. Thanks.

Floor, slab on grade, is settling and tile is cracking. Interior doors are not closing properly and some cracks appearing in drywall. This is our permanent residence in Sedona and I am a registered architect and want it fixed.

I have noticed some cracks in my house. I am told it is just the house settling but I want reassurance.

Visible cracking in exterior foundation, front patio has a large crack in it, both patios have pulled away from the foundation, interior drywall cracking both walls and ceiling.

Back deck concrete slab angles water towards the house vs away from the house during rain storms causing water to flow into the house. Needs to be ground down to angle water away from the house – can you help?

Efflorescence on stem wall degrading concrete and peeling paint.

Hi, I have a post tension slab home that was built in 2013. I have had my house inspected by a foundation repair company and they say my house is heaving & want to install a moisture control system. I would like a second opinion on the house. The house makes noises, I was told expansion and contraction but seems really excessive. Cracks have formed in my front patio & rear patio, I also have some spalling in a few areas. And a lot of cracking in the stucco. I did have gutters installed. I also had the slab checked a few times with water level. My front patio has a walkway trapping water, not sure how to get around this. Water is also wicking up the foundation in the front and the side of the garage. I had sewer lines checked for leaks, no leaks & my water bill is almost the same each month, no feed line leaks. I know Arizona has a 10 year structure warranty, not sure if the builder is liable, but they claim it’s cosmetic & still with in the ROC guidelines. Any help is greatly appreciated. Great videos on you tube! Thanks

We are about to buy a house and with the inspection, the foundation has some changes. We were looking at getting an evaluation to see what it would cost to fix/repair.

Ceiling has 2 fine line crack. Under the carpet there is 3 cracks. I need to get fixed as soon as possible. This home has been a rental. Now it will be my home.

We have water leaking up from the floor along the outside wall in our bedroom when it rains. We would also like to have the entire house checked out due to its age (1947) and some other issues we have experienced recently that indicate sub-par work on renovations and an addition done in 2006 before we owned the home.
