Concrete Cancer & Repairs

Treating the signs and symptoms of concrete spalling.

What is it?

Concrete cancer, also known as spalling or concrete decay, is a common problem that is caused by the corrosion of steel reinforcing bars within concrete. As the steel corrodes, it causes the surrounding concrete to crack due to rust expansion. If left unrepaired, this can have a serious and dangerous impact on the structure of a building.

How can Premier help?

It's important to take action early if you see any signs of concrete spalling or decay. Our specialised Premier team can identify the cause of concrete cancer and provide effective solutions to prevent further damage. We use a variety of techniques to repair existing concrete spalling, including waterproofing, protective coatings, and removal or replacement of damaged concrete.

Step 1.

Diagnose the Problem

We don’t just scratch the surface. Our ability to identify and diagnose existing or potential problems is standard procedure. Our Principal, Geoff Humby, brings experience working in Federal Government criminal forensics, and has trained each member of the Premier Waterproofing team to follow the same rigid standards.

Step 2.

Engage a Specialist Team with Specialised Products

We believe in specialisation. Each job we undertake requires a unique skillset and approach. We don’t take shortcuts or make assumptions; we address each project like it’s our first and will custom design products for the best possible solution.

Step 3.

Leave No Trace

The problem is fixed, but we were never here; at least, you could be mistaken for thinking that. Our specialised vacuum-attached machinery and dust suppression techniques means that nothing will be left behind. No dust, no rubbish, no extra material. The only thing you’ll keep is a solution.
