Before & After Photos

This Phoenix, Arizona home had visible damage along the concrete stem wall, including spalling, cracks, and surface flaking—especially near the downspout area where moisture buildup is common. These signs of foundation wear are typical in the Valley, where extreme heat and clay-heavy soils can accelerate deterioration when moisture is introduced.

Our team removed the damaged section of concrete, installed new fiberglass rebar to prevent future rusting and corrosion, and then applied a heavy-duty patching compound to restore both strength and appearance. The finished result is a clean, structurally sound stem wall that’s ready to withstand Arizona’s challenging conditions. The repair not only protects the foundation from further damage but also boosts curb appeal and property value.

📝 Description:
This before and after set highlights a stem wall repair project completed on July 18th, 2025. The corner section of the foundation was experiencing severe deterioration, requiring 11 feet of heavy stem wall repair along with an additional 52 feet of stem wall patching. The before photo shows flaking concrete and exposed rebar, while the after photo reveals a structurally reinforced and cleanly finished corner. This type of repair is critical in preventing further corrosion, cracking, and structural failure, especially in Arizona’s dry but reactive soil conditions.

When planning for a remodeling project, it's important to take into account any foundation problems that may cause cracks in the patio, garage, or even inside the house.

However, they were able to turn this setback into an opportunity by seeking the assistance of experts in the field. With their help, the family was able to overcome this issue and ensure a safe and successful renovation.

This stucco ranch home was showing signs of a stem wall failure.  Cracking, flaking & spalling were among the symptoms present.  

A major horizontal crack formed on the stem wall of this Phoenix, AZ home. Our crew removed both the oxidized rebar and weak concrete. The crew then installed composite, non metallic rebar in the stem wall and reinforced with cement.
