Concrete Repairs Maple RidgeConcrete is the most popular building material for contractors around the world due to its relative cost, durability, and flexibility. While concrete has incredible longevity, it can still become damaged over time after years of exposure to mother nature and the elements. With constant stress and erosion/weathering over the years, the strength of your concrete will decrease over time and makes it much more susceptible to spalling and cracks. If you want your concrete to return to its glory days, let the team at Maple Ridge Concrete Contractors take a look for you.

Concrete Leak Repair Maple Ridge
Water pooling in a spot its not supposed to be in is not a great sight and can be caused by cracked concrete in the foundation of your home and basement. The combination of gravity and water pressure makes it so that concrete poured below ground level (below grade) to be susceptible to leaks if a crack appears. If the crack in the concrete is deemed non-structural, a injection of polyurethane is the most common method of repair. When moisture is present, polyurethane works prefect as water accelerates the curing process. Any crack that is actively leaking or has sediment or moisture trapped in it is the best environment for polyurethane. This type of injection is usually preferred to excavating the exterior of your home and installing a waterproof membrane. What ever the case may be, our concrete repair team will be able to diagnose the best solution for you.
Residential Concrete Repair Maple Ridge
When it comes to residential repairs there are different types of options that we can look at. It may just be a recoating job or refinishing concrete for cracked or damaged spots. Residential repairs can have quite the range as a repair could be as small as fixing up some spots on concrete steps all the way to a large repair on a driveway. Just like how each type of concrete is finished in a unique way, each repair is also unique. Concrete crack damage in driveways, walls, and floor are usually caused by the shift of the earth around the structure combined with wear and tear. Temperature swings are fairly mild in the pacific north west compared to the rest of the country but your concrete still does contract and expand. Over time this can cause cracks in concrete structures.
If you notice a crack that needs to be repaired, give our team a call to have it fixed up. Depending on the type of damage, it may actually be more feasible to have the structure replaced as opposed to repair. Our contractors will provide you with the best solution for your situation. |
Commercial Concrete Repair Maple RidgeThe hardest part of a commercial concrete repair can actually be someone on your team noticing the initial damage. If you're working at a warehouse, there are so many moving parts that a small crack can easily go unnoticed. These small cracks can potentially lead to much larger problems if left on its own. In a lot of warehouses, heavy machinery is used on a daily basis in similar spots on the floor. If this continuous use is done over spots of weak load bearing soil, it can create a void between the control joints of the concrete. If left unattended, this can lead to displacement and flexing of the concrete. This can cause the concrete to sag which will lead to an unsafe work environment for your employees.
If you ever notice any cracks or irregularities with your concrete, don't hesitate to give our crew a call to make sure it doesn't spiral into a larger problem down the road. |
