Concrete Repair Before & After Photos

The owners of this 1995 single-family home in Chandler, AZ reached out to Arizona Foundation solutions after noticing an issue with the home's concrete stem wall.

Areas of the concrete stem wall were cracking, flaking, and spalling. Our Stem Wall Repair System was an ideal (and warrantied) solution!

A layer of paint is not enough to solve a corrosion problem in a stem wall. The main problem is way deeper than that; that is why Arizona Foundation Solutions came up with our composite stem wall repair system to put a final end to this oxidation problem once and for all and give peace of mind to all our Homeowners all over Arizona. This family down in Chandler started to notice some signs of corrosion problems in their stem wall when they saw some cracks all along the stem wall, including from the inside of the wall. After some extensive research from stem wall repair companies in Phoenix, Arizona, they decided to move forward with us based on our quality and results.

In Chandler, Arizona, the homeowner began noticing small horizontal cracks forming along the exterior of their concrete stem wall. Over time, these cracks became larger, indicating the beginning stages of stem wall failure. The problem stemmed from moisture infiltrating the concrete, leading to rebar oxidization. When rebar oxidizes, it expands, causing concrete spalling and cracking. Although the homeowner had tried patching the cracks before, the repairs didn’t last long, and the cracks began to reopen.

Customer Care Representative Nevaeh arranged for Design Specialist Derek to evaluate the property. Derek identified the cracked and crumbling stem wall issues caused by moisture infiltration and oxidizing rebar—a common but serious issue in Arizona due to the dry climate, which can lead to rapid concrete deterioration. After discussing the homeowner's concerns and goals, Derek explained why traditional repair methods, such as patching, epoxy coatings, or even rebar replacement, wouldn’t provide a lasting solution. These methods often fail to address the root issue, allowing oxidization to recur, leading to more cracking and spalling over time.

Since the customer had concerns about the longevity of the repair, Derek recommended the Arizona Foundation Solutions' specialized Concrete Stem Wall Repair System, a cutting-edge solution designed specifically to address the unique challenges posed by stem wall failure in residential properties.

The Homeowner of this Chandler, AZ home was concerned about their cracking stem wall. Most stem walls fail because the rebar inside oxidizes. This oxidization causes expansion and cracks which gradually grows and worsens over time. Our crew replaced the rebar with our non-ferrous composite.
