Concrete Restoration & Column Repair

Concrete, while a durable and economical material used in most buildings in South Florida, is also prone to breakdown over the course of years. It is not a material that is impervious. Repairing concrete after flooding or years of wear and tear by the salty sea air, is a normal part of building ownership. The goal is to catch the deterioration early before it leads to a complete failure. Repairing concrete is almost always advantageous. Replacing concrete failures generally turns into a much larger task.
