Arizona Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

The homeowner in Mesa, AZ, noticed cracking at the corner of the front of their house and is in the process of selling the property. Their realtor referred them to Arizona Foundation Solutions for an inspection to address these structural concerns. No gate code was required for the property.

Arizona Foundation Solutions was contacted to evaluate the issue. Our Design Specialist, Ted, conducted a thorough inspection, identifying horizontal cracks in the stem wall—a common issue in Arizona due to rusting rebar within the concrete. This deterioration, caused by chloride ion migration, had led to visible damage in the stem wall, compromising the integrity of the foundation.

The initial repair conducted by another contractor failed prematurely because it only addressed the surface cracks and not the root cause. The homeowner now seeks a permanent solution that will protect the property’s foundation long-term, ensuring a successful sale.

After Project Description:

After the comprehensive evaluation by Design Specialist Ted, Arizona Foundation Solutions completed the stem wall repair for the Mesa homeowner. The damage at the corner of the house, originally caused by rusting rebar, was repaired using industry-approved techniques to ensure long-term stability.

Foreman Bo and his crew followed a methodical approach to fix the issue, starting with the removal of damaged concrete to expose the rusted rebar. The rebar was sandblasted back to its original state, and an ion-blocking epoxy coating was applied to prevent further rusting. Finally, an anodic-based repair mortar was used to fill the cracks, ensuring a robust and lasting solution.

The repair not only restored the structural integrity of the home but also provided peace of mind to the homeowner, enabling them to move forward with the sale without further concerns about the foundation. The project was completed on time and within budget, with Customer Care Representative Aly ensuring that communication and scheduling were seamless throughout the process.

This concrete slab in Mesa, Arizona had a major structural crack running through the surface, causing both aesthetic and foundational concerns. Our team used a high-strength crack stitching method to permanently stabilize the slab. Reinforcement rods were embedded into the concrete to bridge the fracture, followed by sealing with durable low viscosity polyurea. The result is a smooth, secure finish designed to prevent further movement or separation. These before and after images show the dramatic improvement and long-term solution provided by our expert repair process.
