Repairing Concrete Floors
Westrock Concrete provides affordable and permanent concrete floor repairs to commercial, residential, and industrial floors in southern Manitoba. This includes the communities of Winnipeg, Brandon, Winkler, Portage la Prairie, and Steinbach, Manitoba.
If you have concrete cracks in your garage, office, or commercial building, get them fixed as soon as possible. Pesky cracks can be fixed before growing in size, causing bigger problems to existing floor slabs. We can carry out repairs in several ways.
Methods for Fixing Cracks
- Flexible Concrete Caulk – We clean all excess dirt and debris from the crack and use a flexible caulk that bonds with the concrete.
- Epoxy Crack Kill – This method is used where more strength is necessary.
- Concrete Floor Levelling – Shaves down your concrete in fine increments.
At Westrock, we also repair concrete scaling, crazing, and pitting. All concrete cracks, slopes, and imperfections should be remedied before any floor coatings are applied.
For best results, crack and joint repairs should be done with epoxy and polyurea crack and joint filling materials. This will give you a smooth, seamless surface with pores that the new surface coating can bond to.
Why Does Concrete Crack
In some cases, concrete cracks when it expands and shrinks with changes in moisture and temperature. Contractors usually make control joints in cement as a way of controlling where the cement will crack. In the Winnipeg area, the most popular explanation for concrete cracking is the freeze-thaw cycle in the winter. During the winter months, salt creates pitting and cracking. Concrete also cracks in the extreme sun as it expands and cools.
Once all cracks are repaired, we can prepare your surface for your new flooring choice. If necessary, we can provide concrete levelling and epoxy floor coating in a variety of different colours and patterns.
