What is Concrete Cancer & How to Deal With it?

[@toolrestoration]

It's nice to listen to someone who knows what they're talking about .

[@essentialhandyman]

Thanks Jim. 👍🏼

Interesting video mate, this is my bread and butter for work I test and repair this type of damage on highway bridges up and down the UK. Its amazing what some of the bridges over water look like underneath

[@essentialhandyman]

Too many companies laying in less than 4 degrees and rising, seems to be the issue nowadays. I heard an unbelievable stat the other week that 10% of global GDP is being stated as the cost of concrete repairs within the next decade. That’s a lot of order book work for you guys.

[@ScoutCrafter]

That's in a bad spot because it's over a traffic way. If the repair should fail someone could get a headache. =D Great video Ian!

[@essentialhandyman]

Cheers. Once repaired, they hardly ever fail. The original sections each side however???

Hi Ian, i've been away for a while. Nice video and tip. I need some concrete done on my house this spring.

[@essentialhandyman]

Welcome back. It would be worth checking the rules in Denmark are the same as here in the UK.

[@RandomRestore]

@@essentialhandyman Thank you! I will follow up on that. 👷‍♂

Crackin’ pair of examples of failure bud…. Blast from the past for me 😃

[@essentialhandyman]

Glad to have taken that walk down memory with you Loz.

I was wondering that once the concrete is repaired if putting some type of sealer on it periodically would alleviate any future problems?

[@essentialhandyman]

Thanks for watching and commenting Kid. I’d say yes, it can assist in repelling water. However, my concern with sealing and type of concrete or masonry is that unless the structure is dry, you’ll be sealing in the moisture.
