Inspection reports hold valuable insights – but only if they’re turned into clear, measurable actions. Learn how to translate structural data into priorities that protect safety, budgets and long-term performance.

As electric vehicles become the norm, many property owners are adding charging stations without realizing the structural implications. From increased vehicle weight to new electrical demands, these upgrades can introduce unseen stresses that impact safety, longevity and performance.

Technology is transforming structural restoration from the ground up. At Restocon we leverage tools like drones, 3D scanning, infrared imaging and digital project management to uncover hidden issues, plan smarter repairs and deliver lasting results. The outcome? Faster turnarounds, fewer disruptions and better protection for 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.

Parking garages are bustling hubs of activity, accommodating vehicles, pedestrians and sometimes even bicycles or other modes of transport. Amidst this constant traffic, the concrete surfaces endure significant wear and tear.

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.

The first step in determining whether to repair or replace concrete surfaces is to assess the extent of damage. Minor issues such as hairline cracks, surface spalling, or minor surface defects can often be addressed through repair techniques such as crack filling, patching, or resurfacing.

Beyond immediate environmental considerations, we prioritize long-term sustainability in our concrete repair and waterproofing solutions. By focusing on durable, high-performance materials and techniques, we help extend the lifespan of parking garage structures, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and replacement.

The strength of a structure lies not only in its design but also in the precision and care with which it is built. From the initial site preparation to the final finishing touches, every step of the construction process is executed with meticulous attention to detail and adherence to the highest industry standards.

In the vast landscape of construction and repair services across the United States, regional variations play a significant role in shaping approaches to projects. When it comes to the specialized niche of parking garage and parking lot construction and repair, companies like Restocon stand out for their expertise, particularly in the Southeastern US. But what sets their work apart from similar endeavors in other parts of the country?

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.

As the world shifts toward more sustainable transportation solutions, electric vehicles (EVs) have become an integral part of the future of mobility. However, as parking facility owners and operators eagerly embrace this green revolution, they must also grapple with the concerns surrounding the impact of EVs and EV charging stations on structured parking facilities. Two critical factors demand attention in this scenario: the weight of electric vehicles and the electric load requirements of charging stations.
