CRACK FILL - Clean out existing slab crack. Fill with a rigid 2 part poly. Clean up and remove all debris.

The Robinson's home in Phoenix needed their stem wall repaired. The rebar used to reinforce the concrete stem wall foundation was corroding. The forces generated from the corrosion cracked the stem wall. We needed to chip back the concrete, replace the rebar, and then pour and form a new stem wall in the section that needed repair. If you're wondering, what is a stem wall? It is a crucial part of a home's foundation that supports the above-ground structure. Here are some before and after pictures of the stem wall repair.

Homeowners in Phoenix, Arizona began noticing warning signs of foundation settlement, including wall cracks, uneven floors, and structural movement throughout the home. These issues are common in Arizona due to expansive clay soils that shrink and expand with changing moisture conditions, placing stress on the foundation over time. Concerned about worsening damage, the homeowners contacted Arizona Foundation Solutions for a professional inspection and long-term repair solution.

After completing a detailed foundation evaluation and elevation survey, our team determined that the home required structural stabilization to prevent additional settlement. To address the problem, we recommended the installation of hydraulic push piers designed to transfer the weight of the structure to deeper, more stable load-bearing soils beneath the property.

Under the leadership of Foreman David, the crew carefully excavated around the foundation and installed heavy-duty steel pier brackets at strategic locations. Using specialized hydraulic equipment, the piers were advanced deep into stable supporting strata to provide permanent foundation support. Once the system reached proper load capacity, the home was hydraulically stabilized and adjusted where possible to help correct the uneven settlement.

Following the installation, the work areas were backfilled and restored, leaving the property clean and structurally reinforced. The completed repair provided the homeowners with a durable, long-term foundation stabilization solution designed to help protect the home from future settlement-related damage and restore peace of mind.

The stem wall at the Phoenix home began to flacking and cracking. This was due to the rebar becoming oxidized and weakening the concrete around it. We came in and installed our patented non-ferrous composite.

The stem wall of the Phoenix home began showing serious warning signs of failure. This was due to the oxidation of the rebar inside the concrete. Our expert stem excavated the area near the damaged stem wall and chipped out existing failed concrete to fractured rock and behind existing rebar. We removed the existing rebar and replaced it with a non-ferrous composite. To finish, we coated and patched the area with a cement patch and backfilled the excavated area around the home!
