Chemical Injection Repair
There are multiple causes of cracks. Cracks are not necessarily a catastrophe, and the issue is often quickly and easily fixed. Since there are numerous potential causes, and there might be more than one, a professional diagnosis is essential.
The main source of water intrusion is a break in the foundation. Once the water has entered your basement, it can damage the interior finishes, produce ambient humidity, and foster the growth of bacteria and fungi that could be highly dangerous to your health.
Cracks can be caused by numerous conditions including, but not limited to:
Concrete Shrinkage Caused by Drying
Epoxy and polyurethane are only two examples of high-quality materials that can be used for injection repairs. It can be carried out using a variety of techniques. The appropriate materials will be supplied to the client and chosen for correction based on the current situation.
Expansion Joint Repairs
Buildings are constructed using flexible materials in the constantly evolving construction industry. However, correctly positioned expansion joints are necessary when the plans/dimensions are too large. As a result of the necessity to take into account a number of factors, including temperatures, location, the number of corners, nearby materials (membranes), etc., there is no set standard for the separation between expansion joints.
As part of a planned plan layout, expansion joints are often installed in concrete slabs, as well as on walls, roofs, and other surfaces, to designate the extent of individual displacements. Expansion joints must be made to allow simultaneous or separate movement of the slabs and walls on either side of the building. In the end, they can transfer the flexural stresses brought on by the external loads to the building's walls and slabs.
Common Expansion Joint Issues
However, due to regular wear and tear, expansion joints occasionally experience problems such as warping, cracks, failures, and excessive noise. If the load or elasticity capacities were surpassed, gaskets, cover plates, and the adjacent membrane could also start to fracture. In addition, covers that have experienced a lot of movement or weight placed on them may create a trip hazard. An expansion joint cover making an excessive amount of noise is typically an indication that the gasket is either missing, damaged, or failing, which leads to the interior metal components rubbing against one another.
It is crucial to examine the loading capacities of the cover when specifying an expansion joint. That’s because expansion joint covers typically distort as a result of excessive loading. Contractors and consultants alike should carry out their due diligence and, when appropriate, suggest heavier and more durable solutions.
Garage Rehabilitation
There are numerous benefits for property owners in the GTA who operate a business parking garage. However, preserving a parking garage's structural integrity is part of the general maintenance needed to keep a facility secure. Maintaining any necessary parking garage repairs will not only ensure the security of all users of the area, but may also result in long-term financial savings.
Importance of Parking Garage Rehabilitation
How to know when a parking garage needs to be restored is one of the questions that business property owners could have. Here are a few of the key elements:
Timely Maintenance
Parking garages still need to be frequently inspected to prevent serious issues from developing, even if technological advancements have made it possible to preserve and extend the life of parking structures.
The restoration of a parking garage involves more than just patching up the building's fractures. It is crucial to remember that any outward indication of trouble in a structure frequently points to a deeper issue. If the root problem is not solved, it will escalate to a more serious state. This is why a thorough assessment must be performed before carrying out any small repairs.
Ramp Reconstruction
Ramps experience constant vehicular traffic and need intermediate restoration, causing unwanted delays and costs. Accidents are more likely to occur when there are slick surfaces and icing, which can result in additional issues like wear and tear. For your ramp, we may perform a thorough health check to ensure that it requires maintenance and repairs as infrequently as possible. A review of the trench drain and cables for heating and snow melting is part of our ramp restoration and building.
Ramp heating systems are essential, particularly in areas with cold climates. It makes building access safer and more effective for both visitors and employees. Ramp heating systems reduce the risk of an accident, especially at locations where snow and ice accumulate. Our company sends out qualified electricians and cable specialists to ensure that your ramp heating systems are placed securely and function as intended.
Waterproofing Repairs
Waterproofing malfunctions are often overlooked, more so than roofing failures, so they are often spoken less about. However, having to do a reproofing project, as opposed to a below-grade/ interior waterproofing job, can be far more difficult— and costly. Although prevention would be the ideal option for prolonged waterproofing, there can be a cause of errors such as the weather and wear-and-tear, which at times may be unavoidable.
Waterproofing failures can be attributed to various factors, including design omissions, contractor negligence, and deficient quality assurance during installation. Oversight and review during construction by an owner’s representative are essential to the quality control process. If site conditions differ unexpectedly from design documents or unforeseen circumstances present, an on-site architect or engineer can respond to last-minute changes without delaying the construction schedule. The design professional can direct the general contractor to protect the work of the waterproofing installer from damage during construction.
Our technicians work closely with the owner, manufacturer, and representatives to ensure the system is installed following the specifications and instructions and to the client's satisfaction.
