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...
Drip trays/drip pans are a short-term solution. They re-direct water leaks in concrete slab ceilings, but they do not fix the root cause. To protect against asset deterioration, to ensure a longer asset lifetime and avoid an increased long-term capital cost, we recommend leak sealing...
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...
Based on our inspector’s assessment, the spalling concrete along the slab edge is caused by water leaking through the floor/wall joint from the lawn and planter box area directly above the slab. During the inspection, our inspector noted that guttering was installed right underneath the slab...

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....
What can we do to keep your basement and car park dry and prevent moisture from making its way in? Water leaking into the basement after heavy rain is a common occurrence. Water always finds a way by following the path of least resistance, so basement...
Calthemites is concrete, mortar or lime-derived secondary deposits consisting primarily of calcium carbonate that grow on or under man-made alkaline structures, such as concrete, and mimic the shapes and forms of cave speleothems, such as stalactites....
