Concrete cancer can happen in many areas of a concrete structure, so it is a good idea to regularly look out for tell-tale signs so that it can be remedied before it gets severe and becomes a serious problem and starts affecting the strength and structural integrity of the building.
If you are looking for an excellent dry-look concrete protection that will help prevent 𝗮𝗹𝗴𝗮𝗲, 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱, 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝘄, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗴𝘂𝘀 from returning and getting stuck in the pores of your concrete or masonry, we have the perfect, almost invisible “dry-look” water repellent solution for you.
Cold and wet weather can cause leaks and seepage in buildings due to thermal contraction. Most materials expand when they are heated, and contract when they are cooled. Concrete will expand or contract due to fluctuations in temperature, so concrete structures will shrink during the cooler months and as a result cracks and joints will widen during this time.
The cooler season is normally a fairly dry season, so expanding cracks and joints may not cause any issues regarding water ingress. Now that the wet season is extending well into the cooler months, cracks in your concrete slab, cold joints or wall to floor joints that have never leaked in the past, may start to show signs of water ingress when it rains during the cooler months.
Additionally, the soil is already high in moisture from recent big rain events and periods of continuous rainy days. Cold temperature, wet weather, hydrostatic pressure and the lateral pressure from saturated soil can push the excess water into basement slabs, foundations and retaining walls where water can seep through cracks, porous building materials, holes, joints and/or compromised waterproofing.
Water ingress solution to leaking cold pour joint in concrete – Concrete crack injection repair.
Our client came to us to ask for advice on repairs of concrete cancer after their building inspector had identified exposed, rusting rebar with some cracking on the overhang beam on the side of the cantilevered pool.
