Exposed Design Group Solutions to Common Concrete Problems
Concrete is a fundamental component of modern construction, providing durability and strength to various structures. However, over time, concrete can develop issues that compromise its integrity and appearance. At Exposed Design Group, we specialize in diagnosing and addressing these problems, ensuring the longevity and aesthetics of your concrete surfaces.
1. Cracks in Concrete
Cracks are among the most prevalent issues in concrete structures, arising from factors like shrinkage, thermal expansion, or excessive loads. If left unaddressed, they can lead to further deterioration.
Solution: Our team conducts thorough assessments to determine the cause and extent of the cracks. We employ techniques such as epoxy injection and slab replacement to restore the structural integrity of the concrete.
2. Spalling and Scaling
Spalling refers to the flaking or peeling of the concrete surface, often due to freeze-thaw cycles or deicing chemicals. Scaling is similar but typically involves shallow deterioration.
Solution: We remove the damaged areas and apply high-quality repair materials to match the existing surface. Additionally, we offer waterproofing services to prevent future moisture infiltration.
3. Discoloration
Concrete surfaces can become discolored due to various factors, including inconsistent mixing, curing conditions, or exposure to certain chemicals.
Solution: Our experts analyze the cause of discoloration and recommend appropriate remedies, such as cleaning, staining, or sealing, to achieve a uniform appearance.
4. Uneven Surfaces
Uneven or sunken concrete surfaces can result from soil settlement, poor compaction, or erosion, leading to safety hazards and water pooling.
Solution: We offer concrete leveling services, utilizing techniques like slab jacking or replacement to restore a level and safe surface.
5. Joint Deterioration
Joints in concrete pavements can deteriorate over time due to traffic loads and environmental conditions, leading to further damage if not properly maintained.
Solution: We provide joint rebuilding services, ensuring that the joints are restored to their optimal condition to accommodate movement and prevent adjacent damage.
