Concrete Cancer Sydney – Professional Repair & Reinforcement

Concrete cancer occurs when steel reinforcement within concrete begins to corrode. As the steel corrodes, it expands and places pressure on the surrounding concrete, causing cracking, delamination and spalling.

If left unaddressed, deterioration can continue beyond the visibly damaged area. Lloyd Corp Constructions provides concrete cancer and spalling repairs for apartment buildings, balconies, façades, car parks and other concrete structures across Sydney.

COMMON SIGNS OF CONCRETE DETERIORATION

Rust-coloured staining
Cracks running along reinforcement lines
Flaking, drummy or hollow-sounding concrete
Pieces of concrete breaking away
Exposed steel reinforcement
Deterioration around balcony edges
Damage to concrete beams, columns or slabs
Recurring damage following previous patch repairs

WHAT CAUSES CONCRETE CANCER?

Concrete cancer is commonly associated with moisture, chloride exposure, carbonation, inadequate concrete cover, cracking or failed waterproofing. These conditions can allow water, oxygen and contaminants to reach the embedded reinforcement.

An effective repair should address the deteriorated concrete and corroded steel while also considering the conditions contributing to the damage.
