In Chandler, Arizona, a residential property owner noticed troubling horizontal cracks forming along the exterior foundation walls of their home. These cracks, initially small, were signs of a deeper issue stemming from the oxidation of the rebar within the stem wall. If left unaddressed, this could lead to severe spalling and further structural damage.
Recognizing the potential danger, the homeowner contacted Arizona Foundation Solutions for an assessment. Nevaeh, the Customer Care Representative, promptly scheduled an appointment for a detailed evaluation. Alex, the Design Specialist, visited the site and identified the issue as a typical case of stem wall deterioration, which is common in Arizona due to the porous nature of concrete that allows moisture to penetrate, leading to oxidation and subsequent cracking.
The homeowner had previously considered traditional repair methods such as patching, epoxy injection, and standard rebar replacement. However, these solutions are often temporary, as they do not fully prevent future oxidation and cracking. Understanding the limitations of these conventional methods, Alex recommended Arizona Foundation Solutions' advanced Stem Wall Repair System as a more reliable, long-term solution.
After the Project:
With the decision made, Eduardo, the Foreman overseeing the project, and his team began the stem wall repair process. They utilized Arizona Foundation Solutions' proprietary repair system, designed specifically to address and prevent the underlying causes of stem wall failure.
This advanced system effectively halted the oxidation process, ensuring that the repaired stem wall would remain intact and secure for years to come. Unlike traditional methods, which often require repeated repairs, this system provided a permanent solution to the homeowner's stem wall issues, offering peace of mind and long-term structural stability.
Upon completion, the homeowner was pleased to see the cracks no longer visible and the foundation restored to its original strength. The successful repair not only enhanced the structural integrity of the home but also increased its overall value. Nevaeh followed up with the homeowner to ensure satisfaction, and the property was left in excellent condition, with no further signs of cracking or damage.
