Before & After Photos

In Mesa, Arizona, a commercial building owner noticed several significant cracks forming along the concrete slab foundation. Concerned about the potential structural risks these cracks posed to the building’s integrity, the owner sought a durable and cost-effective solution. Melissa, the Design Specialist, conducted a thorough evaluation of the site and identified that the cracks were due to settlement issues. She recommended the Crack Stitching Repair method, utilizing advanced carbon fiber technology to address the problem efficiently.

Felix, the Foreman, was responsible for overseeing the project, ensuring that all necessary preparations and materials were in place. Nevaeh, the Customer Care Representative, managed the scheduling and maintained clear communication with the building owner, ensuring that the repair process was well-coordinated and met the owner’s needs.

After Project Description

The Crack Stitching Repair at the commercial building in Mesa, Arizona, was completed successfully under the supervision of Felix and his skilled team. The repair process involved making non-parallel cuts along the cracks, followed by the installation of high-strength carbon fiber laminates. These laminates were bonded using low-viscosity polyurethane, which provided superior reinforcement to the concrete slab. The final step was to grind the area smooth, restoring the foundation to its original condition and ensuring a professional finish.

Thanks to Melissa’s expert evaluation and the precise execution by Felix’s crew, the commercial building’s foundation is now reinforced, reducing the risk of future cracking and enhancing the overall structural stability. The repair was completed with minimal disruption to the business operations within the building, and at a fraction of the cost associated with traditional methods. Nevaeh followed up with the building owner to ensure complete satisfaction, highlighting Arizona Foundation Solutions' dedication to quality and customer service.

Where do stem wall concrete cracks form?

This is caused by chloride ion exchange in the moisture-laden pores of the concrete that facilitates the oxidization of the rebar. Once started, it's very difficult to stop with traditional means. Sealing the crack with epoxy will not stop the rebar from continuing to oxidize and expand.

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.
