Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Sun Lakes, Arizona noticed a significant crack developing across the raised stem of their garage floor. Over time, concrete cracks can expand due to soil movement, settlement, and daily structural stresses, potentially leading to further damage if left untreated.

To permanently stabilize the crack, Arizona Foundation Solutions utilized the Crack Stitch™ system. This repair method reinforces the concrete by installing high-strength carbon fiber and epoxy stitching materials across the crack, helping prevent additional separation while restoring structural integrity to the slab.

Unlike simple surface patching, crack stitching addresses the underlying movement of the concrete and creates a long-lasting repair designed to withstand future stresses. The result is a stronger, more stable garage floor and improved protection against further cracking.

This family down in Chandler, Arizona, was struggling with oxidation problems all over their house's stem wall. The stem wall had flaking paint, cracks, and even spalling concrete. They were concerned about the integrity of their home's foundation and the potential costs associated with stem wall repair. Traditional repair methods they had researched seemed to provide only temporary solutions, and they were hesitant to invest in expensive options like electrical cathodic protection systems, which were beyond their budget. The looming threat of stem wall failure was causing them stress and worry.

After:

Thanks to Arizona Foundation Solutions (AZFS), this family in Chandler, Arizona, found a reliable and cost-effective solution to their stem wall problems. Led by foreman Felix, AZFS implemented their proven stem wall repair system, addressing the cracks, flaking paint, and spalling concrete. The family no longer had to worry about the gradual deterioration of their home's foundation. With AZFS's expertise, they could finally have peace of mind knowing that their stem wall was fortified against further oxidation and damage. Moreover, they were pleasantly surprised by the affordability of the repair process, alleviating their concerns about stem wall repair cost. Now, their home stands strong and secure, shielded from the threats of stem wall failure.

This project in Chandler, Arizona, involved a detailed interior stem wall repair to restore the structural integrity of the home. The stem wall had visible signs of deterioration, including cracking, chipping, and corrosion near the base of the framing. Our crew removed damaged concrete, cleaned the exposed rebar, and applied a corrosion-resistant patching compound to rebuild the wall. The completed repair now provides a smooth, reinforced surface that helps prevent further damage from moisture and oxidation.

This restoration not only improves the structural soundness of the wall but also enhances protection against Arizona’s fluctuating indoor humidity and slab moisture levels—both common culprits behind stem wall deterioration in Maricopa County homes.

This Chandler, Arizona home underwent a detailed interior stem wall restoration to address severe cracking and rebar corrosion beneath the wall framing. Before the repair, moisture had caused oxidation in the embedded steel reinforcement, leading to concrete flaking and surface damage.

Our crew removed the deteriorated concrete, treated the exposed steel to halt corrosion, and applied a high-strength repair mortar engineered for long-term durability. The new concrete surface creates a continuous, sealed barrier between the stem wall and the surrounding environment—helping protect against moisture, oxidation, and interior wall instability.

This repair not only strengthens the home’s foundation but also prevents future cracking and cosmetic damage along the base of the wall, ensuring lasting protection against Arizona’s humid indoor conditions and seasonal soil movement.

The owners of the single-family home were struggling with some foundation problems on their stem wall, and when one of our staff members went to take a look at the place he/she realized there was another foundation problem on the driveway. After speaking with the Owners of the house and analyzing the pros and cons of the service, the Homeowners decided to go ahead with the PolyLevel® Repair System to lift the concrete slab and not have to worry about it anymore.
