Effective Concrete Repair

Concrete repair problems are diverse in nature. Each condition requires a clear understanding of what is expected of the repair including appearance, protection needs, and load carrying requirements.

An effective repair strategy must draw from a variety of repair materials, each having an installation technique that best suits both the material and the strategy.
In many cases proper surface preparation of concrete and reinforcing steel is critical for the success of concrete repair area being repaired. This includes complete removal of concrete around and below the reinforcing steel and preparation of the substrate. Combineding these techniques ensures maximum bond between the new repair material and the existing substrate, resulting in effective, long-lasting repairs.
