Spalling Concrete: Assess Before Covering It
Loose concrete, rust stains and exposed reinforcement need assessment.
ODS Construction Chemicals · Waterproofing information
What to record
Loose concrete, rust stains and exposed reinforcement need assessment. Keep people away from areas where material may fall. Photographs help describe the problem but cannot establish structural capacity or the extent of hidden deterioration.
Before choosing a repair
The repair scope may include removal of unsound material, assessment of reinforcement, compatible repair materials and treatment of the moisture source. Where structural performance is affected or uncertain, an engineer should define the necessary assessment and repair. Cosmetic patching alone is not proof of structural restoration.
Discuss the scope
ODS Construction Chemicals focuses on waterproofing, supported by concrete repair, flooring and finishing. We also consider selected renovation and construction projects. Send the location, photographs and proposed scope to confirm whether we can take on your project. A guide is not a quotation or a promise of a particular method, product or completion date. Where a project proceeds, the written scope sets out the work and any warranty offered.
