The stem wall exhibited alarming signs: flaking paint, cracks, and spalling concrete. These were clear indicators of impending structural instability, demanding immediate attention.
Traditional repair options like patching, epoxy injections, or rebar replacement offered only temporary solutions, prone to recurring oxidization and escalating costs over time. Even high-end solutions like electrical cathodic protection systems, though effective, were prohibitively expensive for residential use.

In Tempe, Arizona, a homeowner reached out with concerns about visible cracks in their concrete foundation and floor. These issues were causing not only structural concerns but also potential safety hazards. Aly, our Customer Care Representative, scheduled a consultation for the homeowner with Victor, our Design Specialist, to assess the severity and source of the cracking.
Upon inspection, Victor identified that the cracks were likely due to settlement issues, a common problem in the region’s soil. To provide a durable and cost-effective solution, he recommended the Crack Stitching Repair technique, which utilizes high-strength carbon fiber laminates to reinforce and repair the cracked concrete.
Our certified team, led by Foreman Juan, prepared to execute this repair. Using carbon fiber in construction for foundation crack repairs offers remarkable strength without the need for heavy equipment. By employing materials like Glass, Kevlar, and Carbon Composites, which have been used in industries such as aerospace, we deliver a modern and resilient solution to homeowners experiencing similar issues.
