Horizontal Concrete Cracks in a Stem Wall
Every crack has a different meaning or even a reason when they show up. In this case, a horizontal concrete crack means that the corrosion problem started in the rebar and then spread to the rest of the stem wall elements.
Spalling Concrete
Spalling concrete is the last and the worst of all the stem wall symptoms because when the stem wall gets to a point, it means that most if not all of the stem wall components will need to get replaced by new ones since they are too damaged by corrosion.
Protecting is Caring
Whenever our concrete repair experts are working on a project, they need to make sure that all the surroundings are protected by using plastic sheets where they are working!
Rebar Replacement
The main stem wall component to get replaced is the rebar since it is the one that attaches the wall to the stem wall.
