Spalling, Delamination & Rebar Corrosion
Concrete Spalling Repair for Commercial Properties
Spalling concrete can expose reinforcing steel, accelerate corrosion, and create life-safety, waterproofing, and structural concerns. Genesis Prime Group helps owners execute spalling repairs for multifamily and commercial buildings according to project requirements.
Why It Matters
Spalling is often the visible symptom of a deeper deterioration cycle.
In coastal South Florida, water, chlorides, carbonation, and inadequate protection can contribute to reinforcing steel corrosion. As steel expands, surrounding concrete may crack, delaminate, and break away.
Repair methods depend on the element, extent of deterioration, reinforcing condition, engineer requirements, and selected repair materials.
Typical repair considerations
- Sounding and removal of delaminated concrete.
- Cleaning, treating, supplementing, or replacing reinforcing steel as specified.
- Substrate preparation and bonding requirements.
- Repair mortar placement, curing, coating, and waterproofing coordination.
- Inspection and documentation requirements.
FAQ
Spalling repair questions
Is spalling common on balconies and parking garages?
Yes. Balconies, slabs, beams, columns, and parking garage elements are common areas because they are exposed to weather, water, traffic, and coastal conditions.
Can Genesis Prime Group coordinate with the engineer of record?
Yes. The construction team can coordinate scope execution, permitting items, inspection needs, and field questions with the project engineering team where applicable.
