The Homeowner of this Chandler, AZ home was concerned about their cracking stem wall. Most stem walls fail because the rebar inside oxidizes. This oxidization causes expansion and cracks which gradually grows and worsens over time. Our crew replaced the rebar with our non-ferrous composite.
In Chandler, Arizona, a homeowner reached out to Arizona Foundation Solutions after noticing horizontal cracks forming along the stem wall of their home. Concerned about the structural integrity of their foundation, they scheduled an appointment with Amanda, our Customer Care Representative. Amanda quickly arranged for Ted, our Design Specialist, to evaluate the situation.
Upon inspection, Ted identified that the cracks were a result of oxidizing rebar within the stem wall. The homeowner was informed that if left unchecked, the cracks would continue to expand, potentially leading to more severe structural issues. Traditional repair methods such as patching or using epoxy coatings were discussed, but Ted explained their limitations—primarily that they often fail over time as the rebar continues to oxidize. Understanding the urgency and the risks involved, the homeowner decided to proceed with our advanced Stem Wall Repair System, a proven method designed to prevent further oxidization and ensure long-lasting protection.
