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.

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 Equipment Does Our Team Use?
Do I Need To Hire A Skip Bin?
No, Other concrete spalling contractors and concrete spalling repair companies regardless of job size will make you hire a skip bin which will cost a huge amount ($375 – $1,000+). Which will have to sit in your front yard for days, weeks and sometimes even months while you deal with the annoyance of organising it and the large cost of the whole process.
Here at concrete spalling Sydney, we come in, dealing with the whole concrete spalling process, as well as grind down any concrete that needs grinding, than our team will sweep and vacuum your property to clean up any dust!

(On average our clients save 60% on disposal of waste charges)
Do I Need To Turn Off My Air-con & Fire Alarms?
Yes, While we are grinding your concrete and removing your concrete with jackhammers, although we do try to keep the dust to an absolute minimum through various methods such as dust extraction units or wet grinding. Dust still may occur, so it is important that you turn off air conditioning units and isolate, switch off and cover your fire alarms as dust will set them off.
Can You Work Over Night? Are There Any Additional Charges?
Yes, our team can work Any Day, Anytime, 24 Hours A Day, 7 Days A Week, 365 Days Of The Year at any time that suits our clients.
If you have time restrictions, noise restrictions or any other restriction or deadlines we can make sure that we can fit into your schedule to make sure that your job is completed in the time frame needed while still maintaining the highest quality of work standards at any time that you desire with NO additional charges!

Can You Fix Concrete Spalling In Driveways?
Spalling In Concrete driveways is caused by a large range of different factors. But that doesn’t mean you have to rip it out and start fresh! Is the surface of your concrete driveway flaking away, starting to show cracks and look ugly? Do the patches and cracks get bigger and more numerous each spring? The problem is called Spalling In Concrete.
If your driveway surface has Spalling In Concrete, the most likely cause is an installation mistake. Common mistakes include adding too much water to the mix, to make it easier to pour; sprinkling the surface of the concrete with water, to extend finishing time; and not curing the concrete properly after installation.
Winter and summer, as well as bad weather and living near the ocean, will slowly cause Spalling In Concrete throughout your driveway. Salt in the air and the weather is a huge factor in Spalling In Concrete in your driveway. Freezing causes the water in the capillaries of the concrete to expand, creating pressure. Over time, the expansive pressure from repeated cycles of freezing and thawing can break away the top surface of the concrete, leaving pit marks and exposing the coarse aggregate.
On new concrete, you can dramatically reduce water-induced Spalling In Concrete by applying a penetrating waterproofing sealer 28 days after concrete placement and every few years thereafter. To address the problem after it has occurred requires covering the entire affected area with a polymer-modified cementitious overlay in a colour matching the existing driveway. Once the overlay cures, apply a waterproofing sealer to prevent the problem from reoccurring.

TESTIMONIALS
“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. ”
“Excellent service from the team at Carpet Removal Sydney. Will definitely use their services again, was absolutely amazed at how much money I saved going through Carpet Removal Sydney instead of going through Carpet Court.”
“Can’t argue with cheapest prices, best customer services, and same day service! very impressed!”
“I had absolutely no idea what to do when we had a pipe burst in our property, but thankfully Carpet Removal Sydney had a 24-hour emergency assistance team that did an absolutely amazing job with the removal of the carpet that had been completely soaked, called them up at 2 am on a Tuesday and they were here within 30minutes. 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!”
“Was completely gobsmacked at the quotes that I got from 3 other company’s on the northern beaches and how outrageously high they were just to remove the carpet in a shop I had recently purchased. So it was such a relief when my friend recommended I try out Carpet Removal Sydney and I ended up saving over $3,000, Thanks again!”
“The boys at Carpet Removal Sydney also did an absolutely amazing job with the removal as well as the installation of my carpet as well after it was flooded by my dishwasher overnight. Called them up at 6 pm, they were also there the next day and completed the take up the same day! Really happy with the result.”
“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!”
“Thanks again for your help guys, I really appreciate you coming so far to do such a small job”
“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! ”
“The boys at Carpet Removal Sydney went out of their way to help me so much as I wasn’t able to move a lot of the furniture myself as my back isn’t great. I also saved over $400 getting the carpet removed by these guys! Would recommend, thanks again!”
“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”
“I always recommend Carpet Removal Sydney when a tenant moves out of one of our properties if the carpet needs to be replaced. They always do an amazing job, leave the property clean and save our clients hundreds and sometimes even thousands.”
