Concrete Repair - Commercial Contractors

Concrete Repair

Concrete is made up of water, aggregate and cement with a variety of additives designed to achieve the specific physical properties for the specific need or application. Steel reinforcement is a major component of concrete construction especially when structural requirements are present.

Over time, concrete can degrade, the causes are various and range from chemical damage, fire damage, corrosion of embedded steel reinforcements, physical damage and aggregate expansion.

Ev-Air-Tight LLC has extensive experience repairing and strengthening concrete structures. The first step is to determine the cause of degradation and then by selecting the appropriate technique Ev-Air can restore the concrete structure to its original condition. Strengthening techniques include increasing the overall cross-section of the existing structure, the addition of external reinforcing members such as steel plates, beams and columns or the addition of fiber composites.

Restore Your Concrete to Avoid Bigger Problems

It might seem as though concrete should last forever, since it is one of the hardest man-made substances in existence. However, even the hardest substances can break down over time, especially when they’re exposed to forces which are capable of degrading them. For instance, the cycles of expansion and contraction which accompany freezing and thawing can eventually cause concrete to crack, and once that happens the concrete will be vulnerable to a number of other forces as well, notably groundwater which can penetrate those cracks to cause further damage.

Buildings can also settle over a long period of time, or they might be subjected to tremors which occur naturally, and this can also lead to the formation of cracks in a foundation. In some cases, excessive loads on a foundation can cause it to buckle under the weight, and that will also cause cracks to form. Whatever the causes may be, concrete is subject to becoming cracked by several different forces, and that can quickly lead to the structure becoming compromised, and in need of concrete repairs.
