Concrete Cancer Repairs

Concrete cancer occurs when the steel reinforcement inside concrete rusts, expands, and creates cracks, compromising the structure’s strength. It is typically caused by moisture infiltration and insufficient concrete cover, often due to poor construction practices.

Common signs of concrete cancer include visible cracks, rust stains, and flaking concrete.

Preventing concrete cancer involves maintaining effective waterproofing and using high-quality materials. Repairs require removing the damaged concrete, treating the rusted steel, and applying approved concrete repair materials to restore the structure’s integrity.
