Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about stem wall repair in Fort Wayne, IN.
Stem Wall Repair Fort Wayne, IN
The Destructive Cycle of Stem Wall Rebar Rust Expansion
When porous concrete allows moisture and oxygen to contact internal rebar, the steel oxidizes and expands up to four times its original volume. This 'rust-jacking' phenomenon exerts explosive internal outward pressure, cracking and blowing off the outer concrete face. Left unchecked, the stem wall loses its load-bearing capacity, jeopardizing the entire framing structure.
