Arizona Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

The stem wall of the Tucson, AZ home was showing signs of failure. Stem walls crack, spall, and flake when the rebar inside becomes oxidized which weakens the concrete. Our stem wall repair crew cut out the existing rebar and replaced it with our non-ferrous composite.

Composite interlocking can be performed to tie the broken pieces of the concrete together. The existing cracks will be cleaned and non-parallel lines will be cut across the existing cracks. Next carbon fiber laminate stitches will be inserted into the non-parallel cuts and then the gaps will be filled with a 2 part poly.

Finally, the crack should be ground smooth to minimize the differential. If done properly, this will allow the slab to function as one floating unit to help prevent the damages to flooring, ceiling and walls. If this is instead expansion joint separation, the joint should be cleaned, routed, and re-caulked with an expansive joint filler. 

This Apache Junction home, built in 1987, had a portion of Stem Wall that was beginning to crack & spall.  

The concrete stem wall on this single family brick home was crumbling, flaking and spalling. This typically happens as a result of rebar oxidizing and failing from the inside out. 

The Owners of this single-family house down in Apache Junction, Arizona, were experiencing some problems with their slabs. The concrete slabs got cracked, and those cracks were extending in all directions. After doing some research for concrete repair companies close to Apache Junction, the Homeowners decided to move forward with AZFS based n our experience, quality, and amazing warranties.
