Stem walls carry the load from the building above down to the footing below, and cracking in a stem wall, whether from soil movement, inadequate reinforcement, or settlement, can compromise that load path.
Because stem walls are typically shorter and thinner than full basement foundation walls, cracking can progress to displacement faster than it would in a taller wall.
EcoSpect assesses stem wall cracking for cause and severity, then repairs and reinforces the wall using carbon fiber reinforcement, wall anchors, or structural underpinning depending on whether the crack indicates ongoing movement, settlement, or soil pressure.
