Concrete Repairs

Repairing the damaged concrete in your facility is essential for protecting wheeled equipment, ensuring employee safety, and preventing further damage. With minimal downtime, concrete repairs provide a quick and effective solution to enhance your daily operations.

Crack Filling

Cracking in concrete slabs can occur due to overloading, insufficient control joints, or slab shrinkage. Once identified, these cracks should be repaired. Cracks less than one inch wide can be routed and filled with polyurea for a quick and durable fix.

Crack Rebuild

For cracks wider than one inch, rebuilding is necessary. This process involves cutting out the cracks at the widest point on both sides, removing the material between the saw cuts, and filling the void with a trowel-grade epoxy matrix. The patch is then leveled to blend seamlessly with the existing slab.

Joint Filling

Filling control joints in a concrete slab extends the floor’s lifespan and ensures a smooth transition between the slabs. For joints less than one inch wide, a polyurea joint filler can be applied to protect the edges from damage caused by wheeled traffic.

Joint Rebuild

When a control joint exceeds one inch in width, it must be rebuilt. This process involves cutting out the joint at the widest point on both sides, removing the material between the saw cuts, and filling the void with a trowel-grade epoxy matrix leveled with the existing slab. Once set, a new joint is cut into the repair and filled with a polyurea filler.

Concrete Patching

Over time, all concrete floors will require patching due to daily wear from steel-wheeled carts, forklifts, pallet jacks, and dropped materials. These impacts can create breakouts, both small and large, posing trip hazards for employees. Fortunately, various repair materials are available to address the damage. Patching minimizes downtime and helps prevent more extensive and costly repairs in the future.

Concrete Resurfacing

Over time, heavy wear, chemical exposure, and poor slab conditions can lead to severe concrete erosion. To restore the surface, an epoxy matrix is applied to the eroded areas and power troweled for a smooth finish. A final topcoat of 100% solids epoxy can be added for enhanced durability and protection.

Bolt Hole Repair

Bolt hole repairs are often needed when reconfiguring racking or after a tenant vacates a building. If left unaddressed, these small holes can expand and create potential trip hazards for employees. The repair process involves grinding the bolt below the surface, overfilling the hole with epoxy, and grinding it smooth with the floor.

Freezer Repair

Freezer repairs involve using a patch material designed for low-temperature environments to resurface and restore damaged areas.

Slab Grinding

Slab grinding corrects uneven joints caused by curling, where one side of the joint sits higher than the other. The uneven surface can create tripping hazards or damage wheeled equipment. Our grinding process smooths joint edges, ensuring a level surface.
