Stem Wall Repair for Rebar Corrosion in Phoenix, AZ

This Phoenix, AZ home had visible stem wall deterioration along the garage, including cracking, spalling concrete, and exposed reinforcing steel. Once moisture reaches the steel rebar inside a stem wall, corrosion can cause the rebar to expand and place pressure on the surrounding concrete, eventually leading to cracking and sections of concrete breaking away.

Arizona Foundation Solutions repaired the damaged stem wall area, addressing the deteriorated section and restoring the surface along the base of the garage wall. The before-and-after photos show the dramatic improvement from exposed rebar and damaged concrete to a repaired stem wall.

For Phoenix-area homeowners, horizontal cracking, rust staining, flaking concrete, or exposed rebar along a foundation stem wall can all be signs that it is time to have the area professionally inspected.
