Protecting Your Investment

Regular cleaning is essential for maintaining the appearance and functionality of concrete surfaces. Dirt, debris, oil, grease and other contaminants can accumulate on the surface over time, leading to staining and deterioration. Cleaning concrete surfaces with a pressure washer or specialized cleaning solution helps remove surface contaminants and prevents them from causing long-term damage.

Maximizing Longevity: The Crucial Role of Waterproofing in Concrete Structure Preservation

Moisture infiltration is one of the most common causes of concrete deterioration, leading to issues such as cracking, spalling and corrosion of reinforcement. Parking garages, in particular, are vulnerable to moisture ingress due to their exposure to rain, snowmelt and groundwater. Waterproofing solutions, such as membranes, coatings and sealants, create a robust barrier that prevents water from penetrating the concrete substrate.

Evolution of Concrete Repair and Waterproofing: Embracing Innovation

Decades ago, repairing concrete structures and addressing waterproofing issues primarily involved manual labor and basic materials. Workers utilized rudimentary tools such as hammers, chisels, and trowels to remove damaged concrete sections, followed by patching with cementitious compounds. While effective to some extent, this approach often resulted in temporary fixes rather than long-term solutions. Moreover, waterproofing relied heavily on sealants and membranes, which had limited durability and effectiveness.
