We have been in business – continuously - for 33 years by August 2020. Over that time, we have evolved our services and have even changed names a couple of times. One thing that has remained constant has been my curiosity and willingness to explore how we can provide better foundation repair solutions for our customers. The other thing that has remained constant is the propensity of people to copy us.
Over time our competition has copied many of our ideas. Copying our service offerings, our forms, our management structures, as well as many of our product offerings such as the polyuria carbon crack stitching and stem wall repairs. Many of my initial ideas I never patented (https://www.foundationaz.com/blog/crack-repair-another-quiet-revolution) such as the polyuria carbon crack stitching and excavation lowering.
After a while I decided to start protecting our time and efforts with the United States Patent office. I have 4 patents currently under my name 2 of which are currently offered. The MoistureLevel Smart Foundation system and The NeverRust Stem Wall Repair System. While I currently have about 5 additional products that I am working on, the products services that we cannot secure a patent on continue to be adopted by our competition. Look for more of our ideas to be copied both products and processes (like in house engineering services)!
As our competitors follow our trail blazing exploration, we continue to innovate. For example, as competitors offer engineering services, we will have already moved beyond our original ideas to the next innovation. We have developed custom software to make our engineering services more effective and efficient making it so difficult for others to copy and emulate in a cost effective way. We consider it a compliment to blaze a trail that others follow. Meanwhile look for more amazing advantages from us to you!
