Crack Stitch Case Study
Slab and Footing Repair in Redding, CA
The Challenge:
A remodeled home in Redding, California faced structural issues due to long-term water saturation around the foundation. Improper exterior grading allowed rainwater to pool next to the house, softening the soil around the structural footings. Over time, this caused the soil to lose compaction, leading the monolithic slab foundation to slowly sink. As the slab and footing settled unevenly, stress fractures developed in the concrete, particularly in the living room and kitchen areas.
The Solution:
Before installing a self-leveling concrete overlay, ATC used the Crack Stitch carbon fiber crack repair system to stabilize and reinforce the slab and footings. The exterior soil was properly regraded to prevent future water pooling, addressing the root cause of the foundation movement. Crack Stitch was then applied to secure the cracks and ensure a solid base for the finishing layer of concrete.
The Result:
The use of Crack Stitch provided a dependable, long-lasting solution for the compromised slab and footings. With the cracks successfully contained and reinforced, the new self-leveling concrete overlay was installed over a stabilized foundation. The next phase of the project includes using Crack Stitch in the garage slab before applying a top coat, continuing the builder's commitment to strong and stable construction.
Why Crack Stitch:
Crack Stitch offers a highly effective method for repairing structural cracks in concrete foundations and slabs. Its ease of use and proven durability make it an ideal solution for both residential renovations and new construction projects, especially when long-term reliability is essential.
