Dust-Free Concrete Grinding (Will The Job Be 100% Dust-Free?)
No, The Job Will Not Be 100% Dust-Free. BUT!
How Do We Achieve A Almost 90% Dust-Free Concrete Grinding Experience For Our Clients Free Of Charge?
Concrete Grinding
With the use of our high powered Satellite 480 G3 Concrete Grinder that is connected directly into a high powered DustMaster DM-2680-M Dust Extractor.
When we are concrete grinding substantial dust is produced from grinding the concrete and any residues off the slab. This dust is still MASSIVELY REDUCED by the use of our high powered commercial dust extractors that are plugged directly into our equipment.
But unfortunately, small amounts of dust are still produced and cannot be completely eliminated even with the most expensive high-end equipment and the latest technology. It should also be noted that certain equipment such as concrete grinders NEED small amounts of dust to function correctly. (Although over 90% of the dust is still sucked up by a 3 engine dust extractor that is plugged directly into the concrete grinder) but around 10% of the dust still escapes.
This system is intentionally designed to let 10% of the dust escape as the concrete grinder needs dust under the diamonds (the blades that are grinding your slab) to grind the concrete without damaging your slab or our equipment.
If you are concerned about the small amounts of dust that may possibly get into areas that we are not working in such as the kitchens, bathrooms, cabinets, etc. we would advise that you seal off those areas that we are not working in with plastic and sticky tape before our team arrives to avoid delays.
Get A Better Understanding Of Just How Powerful Our DustMaster DM-2680-H Dust Extractor Is
Dustmaster® series dust extractors have been specially designed to handle demands of the concrete grinding industry which has high loading fine dust.
This is the H-Class (or often referred to as HEPA) Dust extractor that is certified to handle hazardous dust. These amazing dust collectors have been certified to capture up to 99.99% of the dust.
Dust extraction in our industry is often more important than the actual grinding itself. Without it, we could breathe the fine dust which could be detrimental to our health.
– Featuring dual 10A motors, maximum performance is ensured. The longopac bagging system makes handling and disposal of hazardous dust much easier.
– Performance is maintained by the rotary filter cleaning mechanism which automatically cleans the filter during operation.
– This machine has a single durable toggle switch for each motor.
– A deep clean is achieved while running whilst the motor is turned off. The rotary filter cleaning can be turned off when the DustMaster is not in use, using the rotary switch on the front panel.
– H-Class (H13) dust extractors must pass the 0.3µm DOP test that certifies they capture no less than 99.99% of the dust.
– The rotary filter cleaning system is very effective and takes only 10-20 seconds to deep clean the filter. You may never have to remove the filter to clean it again, keeping your job and your hand’s cleaner!
– You won’t find a better piece of equipment to handle your job, this is the most high-end piece of equipment that we can use for your job. The next level up would require a 15A power supply which would require you to supply us a generator on-site as residential power only has 10A.

What Is Concrete Spalling?
Concrete Spalling, cracked or damaged concrete is much more than just an eyesore. Left untreated, compromised concrete can quickly lead to serious structural problems requiring extensive remediation.
Concrete Spalling occurs when carbonation and high chloride levels in the environment (usually present in coastal locations) causes corrosion of concrete buildings. If it’s left untreated Concrete Spalling can lead to serious structural deterioration resulting in extensive and expensive repairs.
The expert Concrete Spalling Repair and waterproofing solutions from our team are an efficient and cost-efficient way of addressing all types of concrete damage including Concrete Cancer, Concrete Spalling, water, water damage, and concrete cracks.
Concrete Spalling is a term used to describe the degradation of concrete structures often caused by interstitial contaminants in the concrete constituents, moisture ingress and the alkali-silica reaction.
Chloride contaminated constituents can find their way into concrete structures if sourced from a chloride-rich environment such as a coastal region. Chloride ingress can also be attributed to the structure’s surrounding environment, which is a particularly important issue in Australia.
The presence of free chloride ions in a reinforced concrete structure causes depassivation of the steel reinforcement bars, allowing them to corrode. As the steel corrodes inside the structure, the reinforcement bars expand, inducing stress on the surrounding concrete leading to Concrete Spalling.
Once initial cracks form in the Concrete Spalling processes, further degradation is accelerated as there is greater exposure to moisture ingress.
In the alkali-silica reaction, certain concrete constituents in the aggregate react with the alkali to form alkali-silica. This highly hygroscopic compound imbibes moisture from surrounding pores in the concrete structure.
This has the effect of creating a localised expansion in the alkali-silica rich sites resulting in high internal localised stresses. When the concrete has become damaged by the alkali-silica reaction it can produce a characteristic cracking pattern on the surface with white alkali-silica gel emanating from this network of cracks.
The word Spall in engineering describes the chips or fragments of a material that is broken off a bigger object. The process of Spalling Of Concrete also known as spallation is the surface failure that occurs when a material such as concrete, brick, or limestone is subjected to excess moisture, corrosion, weathering, and much more. Concrete spalling commonly known as (Concrete Cancer) is an eye-sore and has the potential to be an extreme hazard.
What Causes Concrete Spalling?
Spalling Of Concrete (also known as Concrete Cancer or Concrete Spalling) is aggressive rusting of steel reinforcement beams in the concrete slab
which can be incredibly dangerous to the strength of the structure and flooring.
Spalling Of Concrete will start to damage the concrete and steel reinforcing beams in the concrete slab.
Concrete Spalling Sydney offers a free inspection of the concrete slab to inspect for any Spalling Of Concrete. Which should always be done before installing a new floor topping, especially if you have recently removed a Magnesite Flooring.
Firstly, Spalling Of Concrete is not attractive and makes a structure look uncared for. More seriously, if the structure is in an area accessed by the public, or by workers, then Spalling Of Concrete can be hazardous in terms of falling debris or trip hazards.
If left unchecked then Spalling Of Concrete will tend to accelerate and spread so that, eventually, the structure could become unstable. Diligent maintenance is therefore of great importance and legislation places a duty of care on owners to ensure that structures are not hazardous to users.
There are also serious commercial considerations. If a structure is left to deteriorate then the value of the asset will diminish and, furthermore, maintenance costs will tend to increase as corrosion and Spalling Of Concrete becomes more widespread. For some structures, such as car parks, customers will stay away if the environment is unattractive and potentially hazardous.
Spalling Of Concrete – especially on the outside of a building – not only looks terrible, but it is potentially dangerous too. Over time, and with increased exposure to the elements, untreated pieces of concrete may fall from your structure. The risk is it falling and damaging property, or even worse, hitting a person walking below.
There are a number of reasons your building may have Spalling Of Concrete.
Spalling Of Concrete usually occurs for one of three reasons, or sometimes a combination of these reasons. Salt, particularly the sodium chloride that’s used on frozen roads in many northern states, can result in oxidation or rusting of reinforcing steel when it’s repeatedly introduced to a surface or building.
But Spalling Of Concrete is more likely to occur due to the curing process or the way the concrete hardened. Carbon dioxide in the air and alkalis in the concrete mix can also interact and force cracking that admits water.
Common reasons that your building may have Spalling Of Concrete include:
- A poorly poured substrate which has allowed moisture to seep into it through cracks and voids
- Inadequate preparation of the reinforcing steel when the original concrete was poured
- The ends of the reinforcing beams are too close to the surface. In heavy rains, water may seep through causing lime and other chemicals in the steel to oxidise
- Incompatible metals being used in close proximity to each other, thus causing a reaction which allows water into the slab
- Stress fractures from bearing weight or general wear-and-tear allow water to penetrate the concrete and react with the steel
- Corrosion of embedded reinforcing steel, because the corrosion products (rust) occupy more volume than the original steel, and the resultant pressure spalls the concrete.
- Fire exposure due to which free water in the concrete changes to stem and create internal expansive pressure in concrete, consequently spall off the concrete.
- Freeze and thaw cycling
- Expansive effects of Alkali-Silica Reaction
- Inadequate depth of cover over reinforcement
- Low quality concrete cover over reinforcing steel
- Joint spalls are often caused by improperly constructed joints lead to joint spalling
- Bond failure in two-course construction due to Differences in shrinkage between topping and base courses, drying of the bonding grout before the topping concrete is placed, etc
Spalling Of Concrete breaks away pieces of the concrete surface which often extends to the top layers of reinforcing steel. Spalls may be 150 mm or more in diameter and 25mm or more in-depth, and the occurrence of smaller spalls also possible.
Spalling Of Concrete affects a broad variety of structures including framed buildings, multi-story car parks, bridges, jetties, unit blocks, etc.
Spalling Of Concrete leaves the concrete surface patchy and pitted while exposing aggregate underneath. As soon as Spalling Of Concrete is spotted, it should be properly repaired otherwise it compromises concrete surface integrity and jeopardizes the ultimate capacity of the member. Added to that, Spalling Of Concrete could distort the aesthetic appearance of the structure.
Spalling Of Concrete that occurs in a concrete driveway or sidewalk typically happens because the weather changed during the hardening process or something else occurred to prevent the concrete from finishing its curing. Contractors might make the mistake of adding too much water, but frankly, most don’t make mixing errors. Tearing out the driveway isn’t always necessary to fix Spalling Of Concrete. Sometimes the top layer can be removed and a new layer poured in its place.
What Does Concrete Spalling Look Like?
A Spall In Concrete looks like flakes of material that are broken off of a larger solid body. A Spall In Concrete typically begins when the steel reinforcing embedded within the concrete member rusts. A Spall In Concrete can be as simple as your concrete starting to flake or chip away, or large chunks starting to fall off which reveal the steel reinforcing beams. There are a lot of things to look out for when buying a new property especially close to the ocean if you want to check for a Spall In Concrete you should look for any patchwork that has been done to the concrete slab, driveway, foundation, walls, roof, footpaths, etc.
Here are a few examples of a Spall In Concrete in Sydney from job sites that we have attended:
How Do You Repair Concrete Spalling?
Step 1: Free call out and quote from our Spalling Concrete Repair specialist team
Our Spalling Concrete Repair specialists team will examine the site and identify what’s causing the Concrete Spalling and how we will repair it.
Step 2: Repair the areas effected by Concrete Spalling
All affected concrete is removed along with any associated brick-work. We then get to the structural level where we grind back any reinforcing steel and remove rust. We will then remove any rusted steel if necessary or if safe to do so, treat the steel with anti-corrosive membranes so that the Spalling Concrete Repair service can start to work. We then work to replace any brickwork and restore the original concrete.
Step 3: Apply waterproof membrane to reduce risk of Concrete Spalling
Our Spalling Concrete Repair specialist team will apply a waterproofing membrane. This will keep out the moisture that is one of the causes of Spalling Of Concrete.
Will I Need Your Concrete Grinding Services?
Yes, you will require concrete grinding because its necessary to grind back any existing concrete spalling to allow fresh concrete to be laid.

Cracked Concrete Repair
Cracked Concrete Repair
Can You Repair Cracked Concrete?
Wide cracks in concrete are best patched and sealed with a concrete patching compound. Smaller cracks, less than 1/4 inch wide, can be repaired with a concrete caulk or liquid filler or Epoxy Injections to Repair Cracked Concrete. Patching compounds typically are mixed with water and applied with a trowel. They have a texture similar to grout and can be smoothed and textured to blend with the surrounding area. However, the colour of the patch will look like new concrete and will not match the old concrete. Hiding the patch completely requires painting the surface with appropriate concrete paint.
Epoxy Crack Injections
The ARDEX Epoxy Injections used to Repair Cracked Concrete uses a high strength, rapid setting two-part system to repair concrete damage from hairline cracks right through to structural repairs. These products are ideal for repairing holes, spalls and cracks in concrete, in internal as well as external situations where heavy duty vehicle traffic is anticipated. Once cured, the Repaired Concrete Cracks will be two to three times stronger than the original concrete, guaranteeing a long lasting and durable Concrete Crack Repair solution.
Epoxy injection is a process by which the structural integrity of a cracked concrete member can be restored to its original strength.
Epoxy is pumped into a crack under pressure. The injection is performed to insure that epoxy fully penetrates and fills the crack. Once the epoxy has cured, the concrete is in essence welded back together.
Epoxy has a cured strength many times higher than the concrete itself, restoring injected members to their original strength. Any known cause for the cracking or settlement of the structure should be addressed to mitigate any future movement.
Epoxy Injection is an extremely cost effective alternative to removal and replacement of the cracked concrete and can be executed with minimal disturbance.
Applications:
– Concrete support columns
– Foundation Walls
– Concrete Slabs
– Concrete Bridges
– Machine Base Plates
– Vaults
– Culverts
– Concrete Tanks
Benefits:
– Cost effective alternative to removal and replacement
– Restores Structural Integrity
– Full Depth Repair
– Non Invasive
– Permanent
How Do I Stop My Concrete Cracking?
Quality
Concrete is defined as a mixture of sand, aggregate, and water. Aggregate is a composite of gravel, crushed stone, synthetic materials, slag, and other recycled substances. The quality of concrete has to do with the ratio of sand to aggregate and water. Too much or too little of either of these substances will result in poor quality concrete. Concrete is mixed together with a lime-based cement to form a malleable putty so that it can be worked into any shape. To enhance the durability of the concrete, additives can be thrown into the mixture before it is poured to make it more flexible and reduce its chances of cracking.
Curing
Curing is the period during which concrete obtains its strength and durability. 90% of concrete’s strength is acquired during the first four weeks after it is poured. The three factors which affect this process are hydration, temperature, and humidity. To ensure full hydration during curing, concrete slabs are usually sprayed with a hydrophobic wax film to keep moisture in. More traditional techniques involve spraying the concrete with water and wrapping it with plastic to get a similar effect.
Rebar Corrosion
The remaining 10% of the concrete’s strength is achieved over the years or even decades. The absorption of carbon-dioxide strengthens the concrete and makes it more resistant to damage, however, it also becomes more acidic which can corrode steel reinforcement bars; otherwise known as rebar corrosion, Concrete Spalling & Concrete Cancer. The steel will expand while it is corroding which can cause the concrete to crack under pressure.
Reinforced Concrete
The most common form of concrete is ‘reinforced concrete’ which contains a steel framework or mesh. Concrete has a relatively high compressive strength but a significantly lower tensile strength. In other words, it is weaker when stretched out and stronger when compact. Steel, on the other hand, has a high tensile strength which compensates for concrete’s lack of tensile strength. Steel rebar, therefore, allows concrete to be stretched out in thinner layers. It is better for reinforced concrete to crack when stretched out rather than compressed because the steel reinforcement will hold it together, for example on a bridge.
How Does Concrete Crack Repair Work?
Concrete can crack for almost any reason. Concrete Crack Repair Sydney is committed to properly investigating the cause of your concrete cracks. Not only do we repair the damage but we also prevent future damage from occurring.
Firstly, it is important to understand that the quality of your concrete and the way it is cured will affect its resistance to cracking. The quality of your concrete has a direct impact on its durability and the curing process will affect its strength. Therefore we believe in using the highest quality materials and methods to repair your Concrete Cracks.
We use the latest technologies and practices to diagnose the causes of Concrete Cracking. These could be chemical, environmental, physical, bacterial, thermal or even from radiation. The selection of the appropriate approach will depend on the cause of the initial damage.
Depending on if the Concrete Cracking is narrow or wide, different methods are used:
How To Repair Wide Concrete Cracks
1. The secret to fixing wide Concrete Cracks is to undercut the sides of the crack to give it an inverted “V” shape. This helps the repair material to “key” into the crack, creating a mechanical bond in addition to the chemical bond between the patch material and the concrete.
2. Chisel the Cracked Concrete with a hammer and masonry chisel to widen the base of the crack and to dislodge any loose material from the old concrete.
3. Remove all debris from the crack, using a wire brush. If desired, clean the crack with a pressure washer or a garden hose and spray nozzle.
4. Remove all water and debris from the crack with a wet/dry shop vacuum or a brush. Work carefully to remove all dust and grit from the Concrete Crack. It’s Okay if the surfaces are wet, but there should be no pools of water.
5. Mix the concrete patching compound, following the manufacturer’s directions.
6. Trowel the compound into the Cracked Concrete. Stab the trowel into the compound to remove air pockets and help work the patching material deep into the crack. Fill the Concrete Crack up to the surrounding concrete surface.
7. Smooth the surface of the patch with the trowel, feathering the compound into the surrounding concrete.
8. Brush the surface of the patching compound with a dry paintbrush to texture the surface, if desired.
9. Let the compound cure as directed.
10. Paint or seal the surface of the patch and surrounding area, if desired.
How to Repair Narrow Concrete Cracks
Narrow Concrete Cracks can be filled using masonry crack elastomeric filler that can be applied with a caulking gun. Very small cracks, such as hairline cracks, can be repaired using a vinyl concrete patching compound applied over the crack and then smoothed with a putty knife or trowel. For hairline cracks, applying repair caulk or crack filler over the cracks usually is not effective, as the caulk tends to peel off of the surface over time.
Narrow Concrete Cracks can be deep, often extending through the entire thickness of the concrete slab. Therefore, it’s a good idea to start the repair by stuffing foam backer rod into the Concrete Crack to create a base to hold the repair material. The backer rod is solid in a variety of sizes; use a rod diameter that is slightly larger than the width of the crack. Stuff the backer rod into the Cracked Concrete with a screwdriver to a depth of 1/4 inch. Fill the Cracked Concrete with the repair material, following the manufacturer’s directions.
Types Of Concrete Cracks
Chemical
Carbonation over a long period of time concrete will absorb carbon dioxide from the air which causes a chemical reaction with lime in the cement, yielding more acidic concrete. This causes the steel reinforcement bars to rust and expand, the force of which will eventually crack the concrete. It can be tested for using a pH indicator.
Chlorides
Chlorides shorten the setting time of concrete, however, they leach calcium hydroxide leading to a loss of strength which in turn affects the durability of the concrete leading to early failure.
Sulfates
Examples include ‘acid rain’ and ‘crown rot corrosion’ in sewers.
Leaching
When water flows through the cracks in concrete, dissolving minerals and carrying them to other places forming lumps at the outer surface.
Decalcification
The leaching of calcium hydroxide from concrete cracks can facilitate the growth of ‘calthemites’ which mimic the appearance of stalactites in caves.
Environmental
Seawater & wind, Concrete exposed to seawater is more susceptible to corrosion and erosion. Wind also plays a role in erosion.
Bacterial
Bacteria themselves do not have a noticeable effect on concrete, however, they do play a role in ‘crown rot corrosion’ in untreated sewer waters.
Physical
Earthquakes, tremors and other sources of vibration are likely to impact the structural integrity of the concrete.
Thermal
Fire will expose the concrete to gasses, acids, salts, and liquids that can be damaging.
Radiation
Exposure to neutrons, gamma radiation and high-flux material testing reactors in nuclear power plants other radiation zones can cause concrete to become unstable.

Identifying the source is vital in reducing the probability of further ongoing Concrete Spalling. Once the nature of, or cause of, the source is identified, we determine the best possible solution for our clients to repair the Concrete Cancer damage.
Concrete Cancer Caused By Magnesite Flooring
When Magnesite Flooring is exposed to moisture over prolonged periods of time, chloride ions from the Magnesite Flooring diffuse into the pores of the underlying concrete slab eventually reaching the reinforcing steel.
As chloride levels in the slab reach the chloride threshold, corrosion of the steel reinforcement will begin to take place, the longer the exposure time to the moisture source, the more aggressive the corrosion of the steel reinforcement. Corrosion of this nature results in the pitting of the steel reinforcement where it loses its cross-sectional area and strength.
Iron oxide deposits also occur, causing expansive forces within the concrete. These forces cause cracking and Spalling Of Concrete around the corroding steel, a common name for this type of Concrete Spalling is Concrete Cancer.
Signs of Concrete Spalling were noted throughout various units in manly when Carpet Removal Sydney was on a commercial job site doing a strata Magnesite Flooring job. Concrete Cancer had been caused by water leaking from various sources, saturating the Magnesite Flooring for prolonged periods of time.
Magnesite Flooring can be removed with specialized equipment by our Magnesite Flooring removal specialist team. leaving the concrete slab in a condition that is ready to have new flooring installed on.
Although sometimes some Magnesite Flooring jobs will have Magnesite residue stuck to the floor even after the Magnesite Flooring has been jackhammered off. When this happens the remaining residue will need to be ground off using specialized equipment to restore your concrete slab back to a level, smooth state allowing a new flooring system to be installed or to allow the fresh concrete slab to be used as your new floor.
Concrete Cancer is often caused by Magnesite Flooring, Our team are Australia’s leading experts in the removal of Magnesite Flooring. Magnesite Flooring should always be removed for your safety as it can contain asbestos and often causes Concrete Cancer.

Couldn’t be happier with their services!”
“You were very professional, well dressed, well mannered and quick. I will recommend your services to our friends. Thanks again!”
“Thanks again for your help guys, I really appreciate you coming so far to do such a small job”
“Can’t argue with cheapest prices, best customer services, and same day service! very impressed!”
“I was shocked when I had realised that my daughter had spilled my paint set all over my new carpet in my rental property, had no idea what to do, everything I tried failed, gave Carpet Removal Sydney a quick call and they gave me free advice over the phone, with no charge that actually worked! Thank you so much!”
“Very impressed with your team members high quality work. You all arrived on time, you did an amazing job finish the removal process and installation process without damaging anything. (My last two experiences with carpet layers from carpet court they both damaged the skirting boards and a piece of furniture) So thanks for giving me faith again that a job can be completed without my property being damaged. And thanks to your team for helping me in such short notice due to my unit having flood damage! Really appreciate everything that you did for me!”
“He has great product knowledge and took the time to thoroughly explain the differences of each carpet in a simple way. He has a very personable manner and is very friendly and polite. He explained the process well provided a competitive quote. He was flexible with the install date (as I had some other trades finishing off work before the carpet could be installed) and worked with me to secure a date that suited both parties. I had an issue with the underlay requirements due to strata laws and Declan was very helpful in helping me source the correct underlay to meet strata requirements. I believe he went over and above his role to assist me. The floors are amazing! I’m extremely happy with the choice and the whole process. Thank you Declan. I hope Carpet Removal Sydney realise what an asset you are to their team. ”
“I attempted a carpet removal job my self in my new office only to realise the job was commercially glued down, needless to say as a I.T nerd i had absolutely no chance of removing it haha. I thought i would give a few companys a call to request a quote on how much the removal process would cost… and my god i was shocked at the overwhelming expense of how much commercial carpet removal costs… I was so relieved though when i stumbled across Carpet Removal Sydney (One of my co-workers recently had their team out to remove carpet in a new house they purchased) and was relieved when i finally found a company that was willing to do it for a fair price. I was a little concerned at the start due to their price being so much lower than all of their competitors, but my co-worker re assured me that they had an amazing team. I was quite relieved when the whole process was over and they had done such an amazing job for almost a third of their competitors prices. Thanks again lads! If you ever need a computer fixed hit me up! ”
“Thanks again boys! really happy with how my shop looks now! i knew ripping out the carpet was the best option, definitely looks a lot better with a clean smooth slab so that i could install a nice hardwood floor”
