Photo Album: Concrete Repair in Glendale, AZ 12.28.2021

There were two Concrete Repairs recommended upon completion of the Level B Foundation Investigation. Composite interlocking (also known as concrete crack stitching) 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 two-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 unit to help prevent 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.    NeveRust Stem Wall Repair - The spalling stem wall can be cosmetically repaired. First, the face of the concrete stem wall needs to be chipped back to fractured rock. Then a cementitious patch can be applied and finished smooth. Please wait at least one week before painting the surface.
