Concrete Repair Before & After Photos

In Chandler, Arizona, the homeowner began noticing small horizontal cracks forming along the exterior of their concrete stem wall. Over time, these cracks became larger, indicating the beginning stages of stem wall failure. The problem stemmed from moisture infiltrating the concrete, leading to rebar oxidization. When rebar oxidizes, it expands, causing concrete spalling and cracking. Although the homeowner had tried patching the cracks before, the repairs didn’t last long, and the cracks began to reopen.

Customer Care Representative Nevaeh arranged for Design Specialist Derek to evaluate the property. Derek identified the cracked and crumbling stem wall issues caused by moisture infiltration and oxidizing rebar—a common but serious issue in Arizona due to the dry climate, which can lead to rapid concrete deterioration. After discussing the homeowner's concerns and goals, Derek explained why traditional repair methods, such as patching, epoxy coatings, or even rebar replacement, wouldn’t provide a lasting solution. These methods often fail to address the root issue, allowing oxidization to recur, leading to more cracking and spalling over time.

Since the customer had concerns about the longevity of the repair, Derek recommended the Arizona Foundation Solutions' specialized Concrete Stem Wall Repair System, a cutting-edge solution designed specifically to address the unique challenges posed by stem wall failure in residential properties.
