Arizona Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

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!

Concrete sinks because it is heavy! Sinking concrete walkways can create a dangerous trip hazard, but with PolyLevel, the repair is immediate.

The walkway up to the beautiful Gilbert, AZ home had a number of trip hazards.  Concrete slabs can sink & settle, creating the potential for someone to trip & seriously injure themselves.  

PolyLevel was the ideal solution for this concrete problem!

The rebar in the concrete stem wall along certain sides of the home has begun to rust. This has caused the rebar to deteriorate and the iron oxide to expand. The expansion from the iron oxide generates enough pressure to crack the stem wall. The corrosion of the bar has to typically exceed 20% before there is enough pressure to crack the concrete stem wall. This issue should be dealt with properly to prevent the corrosion from spreading down the perimeter of the rebar and to return the original strength and span capacity to the stem wall.
