My Concrete Needs Help!

In addition, they can become very unsafe. They have signs of spalling, cracking, heaving and crumbling.You will receive all kinds of advice regarding the above situations. Let’s take a look at first what causes the damage.

The two biggest culprits that create damage to our concrete is moisture and salt. Living in the Midwest creates natural problems for concrete. When we add salt to the concrete we are adding an acidic that creates a reaction and attacks the concrete paste and aggregate. This weakens the concrete dramatically. Salt also is hygroscopic which means that salt attracts and retains water. Instead of boring you with more details let’s just say this is what breaks down most concrete.
