The stem wall at the Chandler home began to flacking and cracking. This was due to the rebar becoming oxidized and weakening the concrete around it. We came in and installed our patented non-ferrous composite.
Once moisture gets inside the concrete it is only a matter of time before the rebar inside oxidizes and weakens surrounding concrete. This is exactly what happened at this Chandler home. Our crew cut out the existing rebar and replaced it with our patented non-ferrous composite.
This mid-90s Chandler home has a stem wall that was showing signs of failure. The stem wall failed due to moisture in the concrete that cause the rebar inside to oxidize. Fortunately here at Arizona Foundation Solutions, we have just the fix... our patented non-ferrous composite. Our system uses a non-corroding material that is environmentally friendly.
