Concrete doesn’t regularly need repairs or maintenance due to its long-lasting nature. Concrete faults that require repair are usually as a result of temperature changes and other external factors. It could also be caused by incorrect installation. Once observed, these problems should be met with the necessary solutions to prevent them from increasing. It’s advised that you hire professional masons to resolve these concerns whenever you notice cracks and settling signs. We at Masonry Atlanta, use state of the art solutions to repairs common concrete faults.

Concrete Failures
When concrete fails, several repair options can be applied for a particular situation. It could be a minor repairing, resurfacing, or even washing for dirty concrete. The washing process is carried out with power washers. Concrete cracks, on the other hand, may indicate severe faults that are best resolved by licensed contractors. Flakes are caused by flawed concrete mixture and can be fixed with either refinishing or replacing. If you’ve noticed that your pavement is settling, then a replacement may be in order, as opposed to minor repairs. Concrete stains can be removed with chemical or dry techniques. The dry method involves the use of steel-wire brushes to scrub the surfaces. A certified mason would also use flame cleaning, grinding, and sandblasting, among other methods, to get the stains out. If you want, you can apply decorative finishes to your concrete too. 

Prevention 
Concrete installation carried our in bad form remains one of the major causes of severe failures in concrete. To prevent these kinds of problems, professional masonry services use industry-standard practices to building concrete works. They use their expertise to get the job done effectively and on time too. They prepare for the task at hand through proper excavation and grading before moving on to the formwork. For ideal prevention of concrete faults, masonry contractors can install steel rebars. In the case of a rebuild, the experts will thoroughly remove the old concrete to install the new one correctly.
Another thing that professionals do to ensure the structure’s strength and durability is by curing the concrete. The week-long process involves infusing just enough moisture to allow the concrete to harden well over time. As for fresh concrete, professionals ensure their strength by carrying out several tests. They’ll use a slump test to confirm its consistency and the relative flowability of the concrete. They’ll also take note of the concrete’s air content and weight volume, and their changes over time.
