Concrete repair refers to the process of fixing physical damage and restoring the structural integrity of concrete surfaces or structures. This can involve addressing cracks, spalling, erosion, or other forms of deterioration that may occur over time due to environmental exposure, load stress, chemical reactions, or improper installation. The repair techniques vary widely, depending on the extent of the damage, the specific conditions of the concrete structure, and the intended use after repair. <\/span><\/p>\n

Methods can range from simple patching with concrete fillers to more complex procedures like epoxy injection for cracks, applying protective coatings to guard against further damage, or even replacing entire sections of concrete. The primary goal of concrete repair is not only to restore the appearance but also to ensure the safety, durability, and functionality of the structure for the future. This maintenance is crucial for extending the lifespan of concrete infrastructure such as buildings, bridges, roads, and dams, thereby safeguarding public safety and investment in construction.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is Concrete Delamination?<\/span><\/h1>\n

Concrete delamination is the process which occurs when the top layer of a concrete slab separates from the rest of the slab\u2019s body. <\/span>This is a problem which occurs with trowelled concrete and often takes place during either early spring or late fall given that delamination is driven by rising daytime temperatures. <\/span>Concrete delamination is likewise common on concrete which has been placed on cool subgrades. <\/span>Although it\u2019s likely to occur due to daytime temperatures, it may nonetheless happen at other times and due to other reasons too. <\/span>The characteristics of a slab of concrete and the finishes which were applied to it are further reasons which may cause delamination.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Causes The Problem?<\/h3>\n

Delamination of concrete can be caused by many factors, but the most common cause of delamination is the corrosion of reinforcing steel. <\/span>When the steel corrodes, it expands and exerts pressure on the concrete, causing it to crack and flake off. <\/span>Another common cause is improper curing. <\/span>When concrete is poured, the water in it starts to evaporate.<\/span><\/p>\n

This evaporation causes the concrete to shrink. <\/span>If the concrete is not properly cured, it will shrink too much and delaminate. <\/span>Improper curing is often the result of not enough water being used in the mix, or not enough curing time being allowed. <\/span>Other causes of delamination can be poor-quality aggregate or freezing and thawing cycles if the concrete is not protected from the elements.<\/span><\/p>\n

One common cause of delamination is the use of de-icing salts on concrete walkways and driveways. <\/span>The salts penetrate the concrete and break down the bonds between the concrete and the aggregate. <\/span>This can cause the surface of the concrete to flake off. <\/span>Delamination can also occur if the surface of the concrete is not smooth. <\/span>If there are voids or honeycombs on the surface, the delamination will start at those points. <\/span>Once delamination starts, it can spread quickly across the surface of the concrete. <\/span>If left unchecked, it can cause the concrete to crumble and fail.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have a concrete delamination problem, it is important to have it repaired as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the concrete. <\/span>There are a few different methods that can be used to repair delamination. <\/span>The best method will depend on the severity of the delamination and the cause of the problem. <\/span>The most common method of repair is removing the delaminated section, undergoing and extensive clean and patching the concrete.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the delamination of the concrete is comprehensive, the grinding and overlaying of an entirely new surface may be necessary. <\/span>If delamination has occurred due to steel rebar corrosion, sandblasting will be necessary in order to remove rust from the steel. <\/span>Epoxy injection is another repair method for delamination. <\/span>This involves injecting epoxy into the cracks and voids in the concrete to bond the surface back to the rest of the concrete. <\/span>Carbon fiber reinforcement is another repair method that can be used. <\/span>This involves attaching carbon fiber strips to the concrete to provide additional support. <\/span>Having a professional concrete contractor assess the situation is the best way to determine the best repair method.<\/span><\/p>\n

For small repair areas we use 110v cutters & breaker tools to remove the concrete. The concrete reinstatement can be hand applied mortars, The concrete surface finishing often needs to match the colour and texture of the parent which might be a shutter board finish or exposed aggregate finish. Our skilled workforce are able to achieve a high quality finish to match the parent concrete.<\/p>\n

For small repair areas, we use 110v cutters & breaker tools to remove the concrete. The concrete reinstatement can be hand applied mortars, The concrete surface finishing often needs to match the colour and texture of the parent which might be a shutter board finish or exposed aggregate finish. Our skilled workforce are able to achieve a high-quality finish to match the parent concrete. After repairing the concrete a protective coating can be applied to all the exposed concrete surfaces to enhance the durability and for aesthetic reasons as well. These coatings protect against further carbonation of the concrete and chloride ingress, thus slowing down the corrosion process.<\/p>\n

The word \u201cPointing\u201d is the visible outside face of mortar, these joints show between brickwork on the surface of the external wall. \u201cRe-pointing\u201d (also called Pointing Up) refers to the restoration of pointing. Repointing will be needed after it is lost because of age and weathering. Over time, weathering and general decay can cause damages in the joints between the masonry. These voids will allow water to enter, potentially causing serious damage and dangerous damp.<\/p>\n
