Remedial Fixx: For the ultimate treatment of your concrete cancer
Over time, you may gradually observe indications that your building or another structure is beginning to display the effects of aging and usage. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as "concrete cancer," a term used to describe the corrosion of steel reinforcements encased within a concrete slab.
As the steel reinforcement undergoes rusting, it undergoes expansion, resulting in the displacement of the surrounding concrete. Consequently, the affected concrete becomes brittle and initiates a process of cracking, thereby expediting the overall deterioration. It's essential to be vigilant for telltale signs, such as concrete spalling (the presence of cracks and similar issues), the appearance of rust stains seemingly emanating from the interior of the concrete, the formation of bubbles in the concrete render, or the emergence of leaks in overhead concrete areas.
