What we repair
- Spalled and delaminated concrete on slabs, walls and soffits
- Cracks — including crack injection and routing-and-sealing
- Corroded reinforcing steel and the concrete around it
- Structural repairs to engineer specifications
- Balcony edges, garage slabs, stairs, curbs and loading areas
A patch that ignores the cause fails again. Where corrosion or water intrusion drives the damage, we address it — so the repair you pay for is the last one that area needs for a long time.
Concrete repair questions
Is a small crack something to worry about?
Sometimes. A hairline shrinkage crack can be cosmetic; a crack that moves, leaks or keeps reopening usually signals water intrusion or rebar corrosion underneath. An assessment tells you which one you have before money goes into the wrong repair.
Why does concrete spall here?
Ottawa's freeze-thaw cycles drive moisture into the concrete, where it expands as ice; road-salt chlorides corrode the embedded rebar, which expands as it rusts. Both break concrete apart from within.
Do you do structural work?
Yes — typically to an engineer's specification. Deteriorated concrete is removed, steel treated or replaced, and the section rebuilt to spec with documented quality control.
