Left untreated, this condition can severely compromise the structural integrity of a building, posing significant safety hazards. Our expert team specialises in diagnosing and treating concrete cancer in residential, commercial, and strata buildings across South East Queensland.

Concrete cancer is primarily caused by water and oxygen reaching the steel reinforcement within concrete, causing it to rust and expand. Contributing factors include inadequate concrete cover, poor quality concrete, coastal environments with salt exposure, and waterproofing failures.

Common signs include rust stains on concrete surfaces, cracking along reinforcement lines, bubbling or bulging concrete, exposed rusted steel, and concrete fragments falling from the structure. Early detection is crucial for cost-effective repairs.

The duration depends on the extent of damage. Minor repairs may take a few days, while extensive structural repairs on large buildings can take several weeks. We provide detailed timelines during our assessment.
