Concrete Repair Photo Album: Buckeye AZ: stem wall foundation repair • stemwall

Audrey is selling her Buckeye, AZ, home from out of state, and after a quote from another company, she told us “something felt off.” On a FaceTime walkthrough with her agent Charles, we confirmed horizontal cracking and spalling at the base of the exterior walls—classic signs of rebar corrosion that keep spreading if ignored. We proposed a clear plan: 15 ft of stem‑wall repair, 9 ft of heavy patch, and 5 ft of post‑tension cable work coordinated with a licensed PT specialist before mobilization, with permit in hand (7/9) and Blue Stake cleared (8/7). Homeowners often ask, what is a stem wall? It’s the short concrete wall that carries the structure above grade; when embedded steel rusts, it expands and fractures the surrounding concrete. Many also ask, what is a stem wall foundation? Put simply, it’s how the home transfers weight from framing to footings. If you’re comparing stem wall foundation repair options, Arizona Foundation Solutions uses non‑rusting FRP reinforcement, structural adhesives, and a protective parge finish to stop the cycle and restore curb appeal. If your stemwall shows cracking or flaking, we’ll provide a friendly, no‑pressure inspection and a durable fix designed to last.
