Concrete Restoration in Parking Garages
While concrete may seem solid and permanent, time and wear will start to show on any concrete structure or building. Especially in parking garages, where the salts along with the weight and movement of vehicles can put a lot of pressure on the structure, it’s critical to watch for signs of degradation and to have repairs completed in a timely manner. Restoration projects can be completed on bridges, floors, and any structure made of concrete, as long as the problem is clearly identified and a good solution is well implemented. Percival Construction provides concrete restoration for parking garages in Miami and Broward.
Reasons for Concrete Restoration
Some of the reasons that concrete in a parking garage or structure needs to be restored have to do with water. Water can leak through cracks or failed joints. Water can also contain corrosive substances and chlorides that breakdown concrete or cause corrosion. And the alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in some older concrete structures can also break down the concrete, possibly requiring a repair or complete rebuild.
Another common problem is rebar corrosion, as rebar can rust and damage the structure of the concrete.
What to Look For
Visual signs of concrete deterioration are cracks, rust stains, efflorescence, water leakage, concrete spalling and hollow sounding delaminations. Other signs of deterioration include wear, exposed aggregates, discoloration and settlement.
