What is concrete repair?
Concrete repair is the process whereby damaged concrete is restored and reinforced. Although concrete is known as a strong and durable material, it can still suffer damage due to external influences such as weather conditions, moisture and loading. This includes cracks, concrete rot or crumbling. With professional concrete repair, this damage is restored, so that the structure is safe and functional again.

Types of Concrete Repairs in Maastricht
Surface Repairs
Minor damage such as cracks, flakes or crumbling concrete is repaired with repair mortar or sprayed concrete. This prevents further damage and keeps the structure in optimal condition.
Structural repairs
When the structural strength of concrete is compromised, for example due to concrete rot or reinforcement corrosion, a structural repair is necessary. The affected concrete is removed, the reinforcement is repaired or strengthened and the structure is rebuilt.
