Before & After Photos

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.

Felix, the Foreman, was assigned to oversee the project. The team at Arizona Foundation Solutions was committed to delivering a reliable, cost-effective solution that would secure the foundation of the home for years to come.

The owners of the single-family home were struggling with some foundation problems on their stem wall, and when one of our staff members went to take a look at the place he/she realized there was another foundation problem on the driveway. After speaking with the Owners of the house and analyzing the pros and cons of the service, the Homeowners decided to go ahead with the PolyLevel® Repair System to lift the concrete slab and not have to worry about it anymore. 

Stem wall failure is very common when there is an excess of water exposure close to the house foundation. This family home down in Chandler, Arizona, noticed there was something wrong in many areas of the concrete stem wall. After doing some research, the homeowners got aware of the degree of the problem and decided to take action and look for help because they realized, the more they wait, the worse it’s going get.

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.
