Stem Wall Patching in Mesa, Arizona

A family in Mesa, Arizona, was facing a serious issue with their home's stem wall foundation. They noticed horizontal cracks forming on the outside foundation walls, along with flaking paint and spalling concrete. These symptoms indicated that the rebar within the stem wall was oxidizing, which was causing the concrete to expand and crack. This is a common problem in Arizona due to the porous nature of concrete, which allows moisture to build up and leads to oxidation over time.

Traditional repair methods, such as patching the cracks, epoxy injection, standard rebar replacement, and waterproof coatings, had significant drawbacks. These methods often provided only temporary solutions, as the oxidization would eventually recur, causing the cracks to reopen. The family needed a long-term, reliable solution to ensure the safety and stability of their home's foundation.

Eduardo, the foreman overseeing the project, led the team from Arizona Foundation Solutions (AZFS) to address the stem wall issues at the family's residence. Frank, the design specialist, conducted a thorough evaluation of the problem and recommended the proprietary concrete stem wall repair system developed by AZFS. This innovative system is designed to prevent rebar oxidization and ensure long-lasting protection for stem walls.

The team used advanced techniques to repair the cracks and spalling concrete, effectively sealing the stem wall and preventing future moisture intrusion. The family was relieved to see the immediate improvement, with the once-cracked and flaking stem wall now restored to a solid and stable condition. Alysia, the customer care representative, ensured that the project was scheduled promptly and that the family was kept informed throughout the process.

Thanks to AZFS's reliable stem wall repair system, the family now enjoys peace of mind knowing their home's foundation is secure and protected from future corrosion. The stem wall repair cost was a worthwhile investment, providing a permanent solution to a problem that could have led to significant structural damage if left untreated.
