What are The Main Causes of Concrete Damage in Mobile COunty?
Weather
Mobile, Alabama is located in a region of the country that is prone to severe weather conditions. hurricanes, tornadoes, and other storms can all cause damage to concrete structures. The hot, humid climate of Mobile can also lead to concrete damage. Extreme temperature changes can cause cracks and other forms of damage. Over time, exposure to the sun, wind, and rain can break down the materials in concrete, causing it to crack and crumble. If you notice water or cracks in your basement then read more about our basement repair and basement waterproofing services.
Wear and Tear
Wear and tear is one of the most common causes of concrete damage. Over time, the constant stress from traffic and weather can cause cracks, chips, and other forms of damage. Heavy traffic on concrete can cause damage in a number of ways. The weight of vehicles can crush the aggregate in the concrete, causing it to lose its strength. The vibrations from traffic can also cause cracks to form. In addition, poor maintenance can also lead to wear and tear. For example, if you don’t regularly seal your concrete, it will be more susceptible to damage.
Poor Maintence
As with any material, concrete will degrade over time if it is not properly maintained. Poorly maintained concrete can crack, crumble, and flake, which can lead to serious damage. In order to prevent this type of damage, it is important to regularly inspect your concrete for signs of wear and tear. If you notice any damage, be sure to repair it immediately.
You should also seal your concrete on a regular basis to protect it from the elements. Sealing helps to prevent water and other contaminants from seeping into the concrete, which can cause it to degrade. Be sure to use a high-quality sealer that is designed for outdoor use.
Regular cleaning is also important for preventing damage to concrete. Dirt, dust, and other debris can build up on the surface of the concrete, causing it to become stained and scratched. To clean concrete, simply use a mild detergent and a soft brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals or power washers, as these can damage the concrete.
Inadequate Drainage
Mobile AL receives about 66 inches of rain a year. This is much higher than the national average of 38 inches per year. This is why it’s important to make sure that your concrete has proper drainage. When water pools on the surface of concrete, it can cause cracking, spalling, and other types of damage. We recommend that you have a drainage system installed to prevent pooling water from causing damage to your concrete.
One way we can help you with this is that we can make sure that the ground around your home slopes away from you home and concrete slabs. This will help ensure that water doesn’t pool and cause problems. We can also assess your gutters and downspouts around your home, as they can help redirect water away. If needed, we usually recommend an installation of a French drain around the perimeter of your property.
