Concrete is pretty amazing stuff. It can be poured, shaped and made into just about anything you like. But even though it’s incredibly strong, it’s not indestructible. Call us today at (859) 582-1199 to get a free concrete repair estimate in Central Kentucky.
Cracked concrete happens when part of a concrete slab breaks and sinks into underlying soil that has compressed or washed away. These cracks aren’t just unsightly; they offer moisture a way to seep beneath the slab. This can cause the underlying soil to soften or even wash away completely. That in turn can cause the slab to crack further as it sinks into the void left by the washed-away soil.
To prevent moisture from seeping into the soil beneath, those cracks need to be sealed, as do the control joints that were cut between the slabs when they were first poured. While you could seal them with urethane caulk found at your local big-box DIY store, that is a solution that is prone to cracking, bubbling and drying out over time. Which means you’ll likely be sealing them again… and sooner than you thought.
Spalling or Spalding concrete refers to concrete that has become pitted, flaked, or broken up. This could be caused by a few different things such as poor installation, stress, and environmental factors that damage concrete. The damage could be minor and only cosmetic, but it could also result in structural damage. It could damage the reinforcing bars placed inside the concrete. Therefore, it is important to attend to concrete spalling issues as soon as you notice them. The signs of spalling include a rough and flaky surface and breaking of some concrete chunks. This could be repaired by removing the damaged section so that it can be filled with cement.
When you notice signs of deterioration in concrete installation, you need to act fast and address the issue. If you take a lot of time before filling the cracks or the chip, pit and the flake are repaired, you run high risks of damaging the concrete. If the spalding concrete has affected the structure, it is advisable that you consult a professional at CYA services so that you can be advised on what should be done. If the damage to the concrete has ruined the bars that reinforce the concrete, it becomes an urgent problem that should be sorted out immediately.
If you own a property with concrete surfaces, you know how important it is to maintain and protect them. Concrete is a durable material, but it is not immune to damage from water and other elements — which often leading to costly repairs. Professional concrete sealing services, pressure washing, and concrete waterproofing services are important aspects of maintaining and protecting your concrete surfaces. These services effectively prevent water damage, staining, and discoloration, and protect the surfaces from the damaging effects of freeze-thaw cycles.
Not only are professionally sealed concrete surfaces more attractive than unsealed surfaces but they are also more durable.
