Concrete Repair Before & After Photos

This Anthem, Arizona homeowner had a concrete walkway that had settled over time, creating uneven sections that affected both safety and curb appeal. Sunken sidewalks can become trip hazards and may continue to worsen as Arizona's expansive soils shift beneath the concrete.

Arizona Foundation Solutions restored the walkway using professional concrete leveling techniques to raise and stabilize the affected slabs, creating a safer, more even walking surface. Repairing settled concrete instead of replacing it provides homeowners with a faster, more cost-effective solution while extending the life of the existing walkway.

Whether you're dealing with uneven sidewalks, sunken walkways, or trip hazards around your home, our concrete repair, concrete leveling, and concrete lifting solutions are designed to restore both safety and appearance.

This Anthem, Arizona home showed signs of stem wall deterioration near the base of the exterior foundation. As protective coatings wear away, exposed concrete and reinforcing steel can become vulnerable to moisture intrusion, corrosion, and additional structural damage if left untreated.

Arizona Foundation Solutions completed a professional stem wall repair by restoring the damaged areas and applying a durable protective coating to help safeguard the foundation from future deterioration. The finished repair not only strengthens the stem wall but also improves the home's appearance and helps preserve its structural integrity.

If your home's stem wall is showing cracks, flaking concrete, rust stains, or exposed rebar, our experienced team provides lasting stem wall repair, foundation repair, and foundation restoration solutions throughout Anthem and the greater Phoenix area.

In Phoenix, Arizona, a homeowner reached out to Arizona Foundation Solutions with a recurring problem: cracks in their stem wall, despite a repair conducted less than two years ago. Amanda, our Customer Care Representative, booked an initial consultation with John, aka Bo, our Design Specialist, to assess the situation. Upon review, Bo identified significant issues, with rusting rebar being the primary culprit behind the cracks. The previous repair methods used by other contractors had only provided a temporary fix, failing to address the root cause—rust-induced expansion caused by chloride ion migration within the concrete.

The homeowner was frustrated, as the horizontal cracks had reappeared, potentially threatening the structural integrity of their home. They needed a long-term solution to prevent future damage, something more than just patching the cracks. Bo outlined a comprehensive plan following industry-standard methods, ensuring that the repairs would not only fix the visible damage but also halt the rusting process within the stem wall.

After Project Description:

Following Bo’s assessment, Arizona Foundation Solutions implemented a thorough stem wall repair strategy under the supervision of Greg, our Foreman. The team started by removing the deteriorated concrete, exposing the rusted rebar, and sandblasting it back to its original, clean state. A specialized ion-blocking epoxy coating was applied to the rebar, followed by the use of an anodic-based repair mortar to seal and protect the wall. This advanced technique, endorsed by the International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI), ensures a lasting solution by targeting the root cause of the cracks—rusting rebar—rather than just masking the symptoms.

The homeowner, relieved to finally have a permanent solution in place, can now rest assured knowing their stem wall is fortified against further damage. Arizona Foundation Solutions’ expert approach, led by Bo’s precise evaluation and Greg’s meticulous execution, has restored the foundation’s integrity. By using industry-standard methods, this stem wall repair will stand the test of time, providing long-term security and peace of mind.
