Services
Concrete Restoration
Concrete restoration addresses spalled, cracked, or deteriorated concrete through methods like slab repair, column reinforcement, and gunite installation. Our team identifies corrosion sources, replaces damaged sections, and applies protective sealers to prevent future damage. This service ensures structural integrity while minimizing business disruption during repairs.
Masonry Restoration
Masonry restoration involves tuck pointing, mortar replacement, and stone/terracotta repair to address weathering and structural decay. We match materials precisely and apply water repellents to extend lifespan. Our process preserves historical accuracy while enhancing durability for both functional and aesthetic improvements.
Commercial Waterproofing
Commercial waterproofing protects structures using sheet membranes, fluid-applied coatings, and bentonite clay systems. We address foundation, plaza, and elevator pit vulnerabilities to prevent water intrusion. Solutions include hot-applied rubber and UV-resistant sealants tailored to specific construction needs.
Crack Injection
Crack injection stops water infiltration in concrete structures using hydrophilic polyurethane grout. We expand the crack, inject sealing material, and patch surfaces to create permanent barriers. This method is critical for elevator pits, tunnels, and below-grade walls to maintain structural integrity.
Industrial Flooring
Industrial flooring solutions include traffic topping and epoxy coatings for parking structures and plazas. We apply durable, wear-resistant materials that protect underlying spaces while providing slip-resistant surfaces. These systems combine functional protection with aesthetic improvements for high-traffic areas.
