Rebar Oxidation Mitigation and Concrete Spall Restoration
Groundora Foundation Repair provides specialized stem wall repair Albuquerque services to halt internal rebar oxidation and rebuild spalling perimeter concrete foundations.
Our foundation mechanics remove deteriorated concrete, neutralize oxidized internal rebar, and rebuild structural integrity using high-strength fiber-reinforced cementitious composites and moisture barriers. This process halts the corrosive reactions triggered by Albuquerque's alkaline caliche soils and cyclical seasonal moisture exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about stem wall repair in Albuquerque, NM.
Stem Wall Repair Albuquerque, NM
The Dangers of Rebar Oxidation in High-Alkali Desert Soils
Many Albuquerque homes constructed on stem-wall crawl spaces or raised slabs utilize non-galvanized reinforcement steel encased in porous concrete. As ground moisture dissolves alkaline salts and caliche minerals from surrounding desert soils, water enters the concrete through capillary action. The embedded steel oxidizes, expanding up to five times its original volume. This phenomenon, known as oxide jacking, generates massive bursting forces that shear exterior concrete faces away, leaving the base of your home structurally unsupported and prone to differential settlement.
