Damaged concrete restored. Safe, stable, serviceable.
Concrete repair
Concrete repair restores damaged concrete surfaces and structures so they remain safe, stable and serviceable. This may include treating corrosion, repairing spalling, filling cracks, replacing failed sections, applying protective coatings or strengthening the structure.
Early signs of concrete failure. Assess before it spreads.
Warning signs
Each of these can point to reinforcement corrosion or bond failure below the surface. Early assessment keeps the repair smaller.
- 01
Concrete cracking or spalling
Cracking, exposed reinforcement and broken concrete can indicate deeper structural or moisture-related issues. - 02
Rust stains or leaks
Rust staining often points to corrosion of reinforcement within the concrete, commonly made worse by water ingress. - 03
Bubbling, plating or drummy concrete
Hollow, loose or delaminated concrete can indicate bond failure and should be assessed before it worsens.
Three common causes. Each needs a different repair.
Causes
The cause decides the repair method, so we diagnose before we specify.
- 01
Water ingress
Moisture can enter through failed waterproofing, cracks, joints or poor detailing, leading to corrosion and breakdown. - 02
Structural movement
Building movement, vibration or settlement can cause cracking and stress in concrete elements. - 03
Age and exposure
Older buildings and exposed areas can deteriorate over time due to weather, salts, carbonation, impact and general wear.
