Arizona Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

The stem wall, on the Peoria home, was showing signs of failure. We replaced the existing rebar with our non-ferrous composite. Concrete repair is one of the many specialties at Arizona Foundation Solutions, and we service most of Arizona, including Peoria, AZ.

Douglas, a homeowner in Dewey, AZ, contacted Arizona Foundation Solutions when he noticed sunken concrete between the driveway and garage floor of his home. After a free evaluation, our team determined that the concrete had settled due to voids beneath the slab and recommended a concrete lift and level solution using PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a high-density foam that is injected beneath the concrete through small, pea-sized holes, where it expands to fill empty spaces and carefully raise the slab back toward its original position. This permanent repair solution restored the driveway's appearance, helped prevent further settlement, and improved safety for Douglas and his family.

This Glendale, AZ home was showing clear signs of stem wall failure, including peeling paint, exposed rebar, and concrete spalling along the foundation edge. These issues are extremely common in the Phoenix metro area due to high soil salts, moisture infiltration, and oxidizing rebar inside the concrete.

Our team restored the structural integrity of the stem wall by removing deteriorated material, treating the corroded rebar, rebuilding the damaged sections with high-strength repair mortar, and finishing it with a clean protective coating. The final result strengthens the foundation, prevents further corrosion, and restores the home's curb appeal.

This repair helps protect the home from future cracking, moisture intrusion, and ongoing stem wall deterioration — delivering long-term stability for Arizona soil conditions.

Our expert stem wall repair crew came out and replaced the existing rebar with our patented NEVEREST non-ferrous composite.

In Glendale, Arizona, a homeowner noticed troubling horizontal cracks forming on the exterior foundation walls of their house. These cracks, though initially small, began to expand over time, signaling potential structural issues. Recognizing the urgency of the problem, the homeowner contacted Arizona Foundation Solutions for a comprehensive evaluation and repair plan.

Ted, our experienced Design Specialist, conducted a thorough inspection of the property. He identified that the cracks were due to oxidizing rebar within the concrete stem walls. If left unaddressed, the stem walls would continue to deteriorate, compromising the integrity of the foundation. Ted explained to the homeowner that traditional repair methods like patching, epoxy injection, and standard rebar replacement would not provide a long-term solution, as these methods are prone to recurring oxidation issues.

Felix, our skilled Foreman, led the repair project using Arizona Foundation Solutions’ innovative Heavy Concrete Stem Wall Patch system. This advanced system offers a cost-effective and reliable solution, specifically designed to prevent future oxidation and ensure long-term stability. Desirae, our attentive Customer Care Representative, ensured smooth communication and scheduling throughout the process, making the experience seamless for the homeowner.

Why Most Concrete Stem Wall Repairs Fail:

Foundation wall cracks generally stem from the porous nature of concrete, which allows moisture to build up and oxidize the rebar inside. This oxidation causes expansion and cracking that worsen over time. Traditional repair methods, such as patching, epoxy injection, and standard rebar replacement, often fail because they do not address the root cause of the problem – moisture and oxidation. Even advanced methods like electrical cathodic protection systems, though effective, are prohibitively expensive and impractical for residential use.
