Work done:  

  • - Removed all loose, cracked, and spalled concrete
    - Cleaned and exposed damaged reinforcement bars
    - Treated steel with anti-corrosion coating
    - Prepared edges for proper bonding

Key point: Stopping rust is the most important step — untreated steel will keep expanding and cracking the slab again.
Report: We sent before/after photos of exposed steel and treatment.

Work done: Bonding the concrete is the key for this procress

  • Filled repaired areas using high-strength structural grout
  • Rebuilt missing concrete sections
  • Ensured correct bonding between new grout and old concrete
  • Restored the original slab profile

Key point: Structural grout reinstates the strength of the slab and prevents future delamination.
Report: Progress photos showing patch reinstatement and bonding.

Finished the area

  • Newly rendered and painting the area

Avoid Costly Repairs —

1. Delaying repairs
Icon
Icon

Our Preventive Approach:
spalling spreads and doubles the repair area.

2. Only patching the surface
Icon

Our Preventive Approach: cancer returns quickly if steel isn’t treated.
Cost Saving:
Using non-structural render — looks good at first but fails within a year.

3. Get a Professional Assessment First
Icon
Icon

Conduct a site inspection and detailed investigation before guessing the source of leaks.
Our Preventive Approach:
Not applying waterproofing — water ingress causes repeat corrosion.
Cost Saving: Hiring general trades instead of remedial specialists — leads to rework and higher final cost.
