Concrete cancer can happen in many areas of a concrete structure, so it is a good idea to regularly look out for tell-tale signs so that it can be remedied before it gets severe and becomes a serious problem and starts affecting the strength and...
Driveway remedial works. The Waterstop Solutions NSW team was engaged to inspect a property in a northern beach side suburb of Sydney and provide a remedial waterproofing and concrete repair solution to the cracked concrete driveway, which was causing water to seep through to the...
Waterstop Solutions NSW team attended a large-scale food manufacturing facility in Sydney where they inspected two floor slab panels that had cracked and also had become unstable, as identified by our client. Due to the failure of the slab our Sydney team was given the...
Our client came to us to ask for advice on repairs of concrete cancer after their building inspector had identified exposed, rusting rebar with some cracking on the overhang beam on the side of the cantilevered pool. The concrete scan that the building inspector carried...

Several factors predetermine the risk of concrete cancer, including proximity to the coastline and a built-up environment; the degree of concrete cover to steel reinforcing; the presence of differential metals; the quality and density of coating systems; inadequate waterproofing; building defects cracking; joint and penetration...
Environmental stresses on concrete in coastal areas. Reinforced concrete structures degrade with time and exposure to the environment, particularly if that environment contains salts. Reduction of the concrete’s alkalinity either by carbonation or by the ingress of chlorides (salts) are the most common causes of concrete corrosion....
