The Homeowner of this Gilbert home was concerned about their cracking stem wall. Most stem walls fail because the rebar inside oxidizes. This oxidization causes expansion and cracks, which gradually grow and worsen over time. Our crew replaced the rebar with our patented Stem Wall Repair System. Besides concrete stem wall repair, our foundation and concrete experts do concrete porch repair and basement wall crack repair down in Gilbert, Arizona too!
This Gilbert, AZ, home, built in 2002, had a stem wall that was showing signs of failure. Stem wall failure is caused by chloride ion exchange in the moisture-laden pores of the concrete, and this causes 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.
Our solution to this problem is our patented Stem Wall Repair System. This system uses a composite material that is non-corroding. While replacement rebars often fail when they oxidize, this isn't a problem with our system. Besides concrete stem wall repair, our foundation and concrete experts do concrete porch repair and basement wall crack repair down in Gilbert, Arizona too!
The stem wall of the Gilbert home began showing serious warning signs of failure. This was due to the oxidation of the rebar inside the concrete. Our expert stem excavated the area near the damaged stem wall and chipped out existing failed concrete to fractured rock and behind the existing rebar. We removed the existing rebar and replaced it with our patented Stem Wall Repair System. To finish, we coated and patched the area with a cement patch and backfilled the excavated area around the home!
