This home had cracking on the exterior foundation walls due to rebar that was pushing through the concrete. Our crew removed the bad rebar and replaced it with new fiber glass rebar, patched up the exposed area with new concrete, and then sealed the area with our Carbon Armor Patch to give the area more resistance to protect it from repeating the same problem.

The foundation of this home was in trouble. It had cracked so badly that pieces of it fell off. This was partly due to the oxidization of the rebar within it. Moisture can find it's way to the rebar either during the installation of the rebar or even possibly through some very tiny holes or cracks in the foundation itself.
To fix this problem, we removed the oxidized rebar, replaced it with new #4 Fiberglass Rebar with a development length of 12 inches on both sides (Development Length = the length of the new Fiberglass Rebar that will be doweled into the existing foundation that doesn't need to be removed for the project). Then we sealed the area with brand new concrete.
The interior foundation of this home was cracking due to the oxidized rebar within it. To fix this problem, we chipped out the crack in the foundation until we reached the rusted, oxidized rebar. We cut it out, and replaced it with a new #4 Fiberglass stick of rebar with a development length of 12 inches on both sides. We then patched the area with new concrete and sealed it with epoxy and a Carbon Armor strip.
