Concrete Restoration

Concrete Cancer Repair Services

Whether you’re looking for structural or aesthetic concrete cancer repair, you’ve come to the right place. At RCR Services, we have the know-how and experience required to inspect the condition of concrete structures and suggest the renovation approach that will yield optimal structural integrity in the long run.

It’s very important to address steel reinforcement issues as soon as such problems are spotted. As metal frames start rusting, they cause the surrounding concrete to break away. As a result, additional vulnerabilities are created and these can compromise the integrity of the entire structure. Having professionals assess and repair the damage improves the structural integrity of the building and saves you money in the long run.

Regardless of the building type and the materials used in the construction, here at RCR, we can easily and cohesively address concrete cancer repairs efficiently and with expert precision.

Our Process

To give each client the best outcome, we work hard on site spalling concrete repair solutions. Offering tailored assistance depends on the following steps:

Step 1: Initial Inspection

We need to familiarise ourselves with the extent of the damage, which is why our technicians will carry out a thorough inspection. We will look for concrete cracking spalling & visible signs of corrosion.

Step 2: Repair Prep Work

Loose concrete, dirt, and debris will have to be removed before renovation works begin. Deteriorated concrete elements need to be removed and steelwork exposed, to identify the extent of the damage

Step 3: Steel Frame Reinforcement

Ensuring the structural integrity of the steel reinforcement is non-negotiable. We will treat to stop the corrosion process and if necessary, we will also replace the steel reinforcement as required.

Step 4: Concrete Repairs

We now have a functional, strong frame and the team is ready to move on to concrete cancer repairs. We will choose the right repair material to do patching, matching the concrete structure’s characteristics and optimising durability.

Step 5: Curing & Drying

In some instances, we’ll add a protective coating on top to further strengthen the construction. After all of the steps are done, we will wait for the new concrete to dry completely. A final inspection will be carried out to make sure there are no cracks, chips, or other defects.

FAQ

What are the signs that my commercial property needs concrete repair.

Signs that your commercial property may need concrete repair include:

Cracks: Visible cracks in floors, walls, or pavements, especially those that are growing or widening.

Spalling: Chipping or flaking of the concrete surface, often due to exposure to moisture or de-icing chemicals.

Uneven Surfaces: Areas where the concrete has settled or shifted, creating tripping hazards or drainage issues.

Discoloration: Stains or discoloration that may indicate water damage or underlying issues.

Water Intrusion: Leaks or dampness in areas where concrete surfaces should be sealed, such as basements or foundations.

If you notice any of these issues, RCR Services can assess the condition and recommend appropriate repair solutions.

Concrete Repair Vs Concrete Replacement?

Concrete repair involves addressing specific issues within an existing concrete structure to restore its functionality and appearance. This can include patching cracks, resurfacing, or reinforcing weakened areas. Concrete replacement, on the other hand, involves removing and replacing the entire section of concrete. RCR Services typically recommends repair when feasible to save costs and preserve the existing structure, but replacement may be necessary for extensive damage or when the concrete is beyond repair.

What types of concrete repair methods are available for commercial properties?

RCR Services offers several concrete repair methods tailored to different needs:

Crack Repair: Using epoxy injections or polyurethane foam to fill and seal cracks.

Surface Resurfacing: Applying a new layer of concrete or overlay to restore and protect worn surfaces.

Concrete Patching: Filling damaged or deteriorated areas with a repair mix to restore strength and appearance.

Joint Sealants: Applying sealants to control joints to prevent water ingress and further cracking.

Structural Reinforcement: Using techniques such as fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) or steel reinforcement to strengthen and stabilize weakened concrete.

Our team will assess your specific situation and recommend the most effective repair method for your commercial property.

Is there any warranty on concrete repairs works?

Yes, RCR Services provides warranties on our concrete repair work to ensure quality and customer satisfaction. The specifics of the warranty depend on the type of repair performed and the materials used. We offer clear warranty details before starting any work, so you can have confidence in the durability and effectiveness of our repairs.
