This 1980s, single-family home had a stem wall that was showing signs of failure. The stem wall on each side of the garage door is giving way and literally crumbling away to dust. The East side has a pretty big chunk ready to break away with a visible crack inside the garage. When moisture gets to the rebar inside the concrete it causes it to oxidize. As a result, the concrete begins to crack and crumble.
Fortunately, at Arizona Foundation Solutions, we have just the fix, our patented Stem Wall Repair System
Clean out existing slab crack. Fill with a rigid 2 part poly. Clean up and remove all debris.
The Homeowner of this Chandler, AZ 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 grows and worsens over time. Our crew replaced the rebar with our non-ferrous composite.
The Homeowner wants the sell the home but first wants to do the right thing and fix the stem wall. Our crew replaced the existing rebar with our non-ferrous composite.
The Homeowner of this early 2000s Chandler home noticed horizontal cracking in their stem well. The horizontal cracking was caused by the existing rebar becoming oxidized and damaging the surrounding concrete. Rightfully concerned, the Homeowner called Arizona Foundation Solutions and our crew replaced the rebar with our patented non-ferrous composite.
