This single-family, Mesa, AZ home had a concrete slab crack running through some rooms of the house.  To fix the concrete slab, the area is repaired using a process called Concrete Crack Stitching.

Once repaired, the concrete area is ground smooth.  The work is almost invisible (highlighted in yellow)!

This family down in Mesa, Arizona, was experiencing significant issues with their home's stem wall. Eduardo Mendez, the foreman entrusted with the project, arrived to find a series of concerning symptoms: flaking paint, visible cracks, and even patches of spalling concrete. The telltale signs of oxidation were evident, threatening the structural integrity of their stem wall foundation.

Why do most concrete stem wall repairs fail?

As Eduardo assessed the situation, he knew that traditional repair methods often fell short. The porous nature of concrete allowed moisture to seep in, triggering oxidation and causing cracks to form and worsen over time. Common repair options, from patching cracks to epoxy injection and even rebar replacement, were merely temporary fixes. These methods might offer short-term relief, but the underlying issue of oxidation would persist, leading to recurring cracks or the reopening of old ones.

With Arizona Foundation Solutions on the scene, the family's worries about stem wall corrosion became a thing of the past. Utilizing their proven stem wall repair system, Eduardo and his team implemented a reliable and cost-effective solution. The concrete stem wall repair system employed by Arizona Foundation Solutions was precisely what this residential property needed to ensure long-term stability and peace of mind.

In Mesa, Arizona, a homeowner noticed unsightly horizontal cracks forming on the exterior of their stem wall foundation. Concerned about the structural integrity of their home, they contacted Aly, the Customer Care Representative at Arizona Foundation Solutions, to schedule an appointment. Felix, the Foreman, and Hyrum, the Design Specialist, visited the property to evaluate the issue.

Upon inspection, Hyrum identified the typical signs of stem wall failure caused by the oxidization of embedded rebar. He explained that if left untreated, the cracks would only worsen as the rebar continued to corrode, causing further spalling and splitting of the concrete. While traditional repair methods like patching or epoxy coating can provide a temporary fix, they are not long-term solutions. Most conventional methods fail due to continued oxidization, ultimately resulting in recurring cracks that undermine the foundation’s stability.

Eager to find a lasting solution, the homeowner decided to proceed with Arizona Foundation Solutions' innovative Concrete Stem Wall Repair System, which addresses the root cause of the issue. Unlike conventional repairs, this system offers durable, long-term protection, specifically designed for residential foundations, at an affordable price.

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.
