Arizona Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

The stem wall on this Glendale, AZ was cracking and flaking. Our expert stem wall repair came out and replace the existing rebar with our non-ferrous composite system.

A single-family residence built in 1973 down in Glendale was facing some concrete crack problems. The Homeowners were remodeling so decided to repair the floor since they were investing in the house, so, they decided to fix the concrete crack. The Homeowner called Arizona Foundation Solutions to go and visit the owners to see the problem. The concrete repair experts concluded that the best solution for the problem would be to do some concrete crack stitches.

Our expert stem wall repair crew came out and replaced the existing rebar with our patented NEVEREST non-ferrous composite.

In Glendale, Arizona, a homeowner noticed troubling horizontal cracks forming on the exterior foundation walls of their house. These cracks, though initially small, began to expand over time, signaling potential structural issues. Recognizing the urgency of the problem, the homeowner contacted Arizona Foundation Solutions for a comprehensive evaluation and repair plan.

Ted, our experienced Design Specialist, conducted a thorough inspection of the property. He identified that the cracks were due to oxidizing rebar within the concrete stem walls. If left unaddressed, the stem walls would continue to deteriorate, compromising the integrity of the foundation. Ted explained to the homeowner that traditional repair methods like patching, epoxy injection, and standard rebar replacement would not provide a long-term solution, as these methods are prone to recurring oxidation issues.

Felix, our skilled Foreman, led the repair project using Arizona Foundation Solutions’ innovative Heavy Concrete Stem Wall Patch system. This advanced system offers a cost-effective and reliable solution, specifically designed to prevent future oxidation and ensure long-term stability. Desirae, our attentive Customer Care Representative, ensured smooth communication and scheduling throughout the process, making the experience seamless for the homeowner.

The Heavy Concrete Stem Wall Patch was meticulously applied, addressing the existing cracks and fortifying the stem wall against future damage. This system not only repaired the visible damage but also reinforced the foundation, providing peace of mind to the homeowner.

Why Most Concrete Stem Wall Repairs Fail:

Foundation wall cracks generally stem from the porous nature of concrete, which allows moisture to build up and oxidize the rebar inside. This oxidation causes expansion and cracking that worsen over time. Traditional repair methods, such as patching, epoxy injection, and standard rebar replacement, often fail because they do not address the root cause of the problem – moisture and oxidation. Even advanced methods like electrical cathodic protection systems, though effective, are prohibitively expensive and impractical for residential use.

What Sets Our Stem Wall Repair System Apart:

Our concrete stem wall repair system is a reliable and cost-effective solution for residential homes experiencing stem wall failure. Unlike traditional methods, our system prevents future oxidation, ensuring the long-term stability and safety of your foundation.

The stem wall of the Phoenix home began showing serious warning signs of failure. This was due to the oxidation of the rebar inside the concrete. Our expert stem excavated the area near the damaged stem wall and chipped out existing failed concrete to fractured rock and behind existing rebar. We removed the existing rebar and replaced it with our non-ferrous composite. To finish, we coated and patched the area with a cement patch and backfilled the excavated area around the home! Concrete repair is one of the many specialties at Arizona Foundation Solutions, and we service most of Arizona, including Peoria, AZ.
