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.
This Mesa, AZ home was built in the early 2000's, and over time the concrete slab foundation had settled leaving the home with a crack in the bedroom floor. To solve this issue for these homeowners, Arizona Foundation Solutions cleaned out the existing slab crack and filled it with a rigid 2 part poly to stabalize the foundation and prevent further settling and cracking.

In Mesa, Arizona, a homeowner reached out to Arizona Foundation Solutions after noticing unsightly cracks in their concrete driveway. They were concerned that these cracks were allowing moisture to seep beneath the slab, which could potentially worsen the problem by softening or washing away the underlying soil. The homeowner initially tried using urethane caulk from a local hardware store, but the cracks reappeared due to Arizona’s intense weather conditions and the caulk's susceptibility to drying, cracking, and bubbling.
Nevaeh, the Customer Care Representative, booked an appointment for the homeowner with Eduardo, the Design Specialist. Eduardo conducted a thorough inspection and identified the need for a more permanent solution to protect the concrete slab and prevent further damage caused by soil compaction and moisture seepage.
After the Project
Under the supervision of Eli, the Foreman, the crew arrived on-site and quickly got to work using the advanced NexusPro solution. This silicone-based sealant was carefully applied to the cracks after the crew drilled, smoothed, and prepared the areas with a non-absorbent backer rod filler. The NexusPro was then injected into the cracks, ensuring a durable, long-lasting seal. To finish, a layer of native sand was applied to blend the sealed areas with the surrounding concrete, giving the slab a uniform look.
Thanks to the NexusPro solution, the cracks were effectively sealed, protecting the homeowner's driveway from further damage due to moisture and Arizona’s extreme weather. The homeowner was impressed with the quick curing time—just 60 minutes—and the fact that the sealant is resistant to UV rays, ensuring it will not crack or bubble over time. The installation was completed within the same day, providing the homeowner with peace of mind knowing their concrete slab was protected for years to come.
Now, the homeowner enjoys a flawless driveway, free from cracks and the worry of weeds or moisture causing further issues.
