Concrete Repairs In Melbourne

In Melbourne, common causes of concrete damage include weather exposure (such as heat, rain, and frost), ground movement, poor construction practices, and wear and tear from heavy traffic or industrial use.

Signs that your concrete may need repairing include cracks, chips, uneven surfaces, discoloration, and water pooling. If the concrete appears to be sinking or has significant cracks, it’s advisable to contact us.

Methods include patching for small areas, slabjacking or mudjacking for leveling sunken concrete, sealing for minor cracks, and complete replacement for extensive damage. Epoxy injections can also be used for structural cracks.

The time for repair varies depending on the method used and the extent of damage. Simple patching might take a few hours, while more extensive repairs or replacements can take several days.

While minor repairs can be a DIY project, it’s advisable to hire professionals for more significant issues, especially those involving structural integrity, to ensure the repairs are done safely and effectively.

We can often closely match the new concrete to your existing surface in colour and texture, but a perfect match is not always possible due to weathering and aging of the original concrete. This will depend on your specific concrete finish.

The longevity of concrete repairs depends on the quality of the repair work, the method used, and environmental factors. Properly done repairs can last for many years.

For minor repairs, permits are typically not required. However, for major repairs or replacements, especially in public areas or for structural work, you may need to consult local regulations and obtain the necessary permits.
