The Importance of Concrete Remediation
Concrete is an amazing construction material but like any other material it can be damaged by a variety of things. Each situation is different and requires a specific approach. Non-structural cracks in concrete should be repaired immediately as they can lead to rusting of reinforcing steel and reduce the load-carrying capacity of the structure. Repairing methods can include injections and flexible sealing. Cracks Concrete is a strong, durable construction material, but it can be damaged in many ways. Cracks, spalling, and delamination are common problems that can lead to structural failure or costly repairs. Fortunately, these issues can be remedied using advanced concrete repair methods. Early thermal contraction cracks are generally considered not to affect the safety of concrete structures unless they reach the load bearing limit, but may have a detrimental impact on their visual appearance. If left untreated they can act as a passageway for water, oxygen and minerals which may ...
