Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Glendale, Arizona began noticing significant deterioration throughout their home’s stem wall foundation. The damage included flaking paint, visible cracking, and areas of spalling concrete — all common warning signs of ongoing stem wall corrosion. As the condition continued to worsen over time, the family became concerned about the long-term stability and safety of their home.

Wanting a professional evaluation, the homeowners contacted Arizona Foundation Solutions for a detailed inspection. After assessing the extent of the corrosion damage, our team developed a customized stem wall repair solution designed to restore the affected areas and help prevent further structural deterioration.

Stem wall corrosion often occurs when moisture penetrates the concrete and reaches the reinforcing steel inside the foundation. As the steel oxidizes, it expands and causes the surrounding concrete to crack, separate, and weaken. By addressing the issue early, the homeowners were able to take proactive steps toward protecting the structural integrity and value of their Glendale property.

This family, down in Glendale, Arizona, was struggling with an oxidation threat that was negatively affecting the concrete stem wall. The main problem with oxidation is that it will destroy the stem wall from the inside out, and when the symptoms start to show, it’s going to be too late, and most of the stem wall components will need to get replaced. After doing some research, the homeowners decided to look for professional help and put an end to their oxidation problems once and for all.

Excessive moisture exposure can cause serious damage to concrete stem walls over time. As water penetrates the concrete, it can alter the internal chemistry of the material and accelerate the oxidation of the reinforcing steel inside the foundation. When rebar begins to corrode, it expands and places pressure on the surrounding concrete, leading to cracking, separation, and spalling damage.

In Phoenix, Arizona, we received a call from a homeowner facing a common but serious problem: horizontal cracks on the outside foundation walls of their home. These cracks, often the result of oxidizing rebar, can lead to significant structural damage if left unaddressed. Nevaeh, our dedicated Customer Care Representative, promptly booked an appointment for an evaluation.

On the scheduled day, Alex, our expert Design Specialist, arrived at the property to assess the situation. After a thorough inspection, Alex identified that the concrete stem wall had begun to deteriorate due to moisture build-up and oxidation. Traditional repair methods such as patching the cracks, epoxy injections, and standard rebar replacement with epoxy coating were considered.

Why Most Concrete Stem Wall Repairs Fail:

Foundation wall cracks generally stem from the porous nature of concrete, which allows moisture to build up and cause rebar oxidation. This oxidation leads to expansion and cracks that worsen over time. Traditional repair methods like patching, epoxy injections, and standard rebar replacement with epoxy coatings are often temporary fixes. These methods fail to address the underlying issue, leading to recurring problems. Electrical cathodic protection systems, while effective, are prohibitively expensive and impractical for residential use, costing around $20,000 to $30,000.
