Expansion joints may represent a relatively small portion of a structure, but when they fail, the effects can extend well beyond the joint itself. Once water begins passing through a failed joint, it can contribute to corrosion, concrete deterioration, and damage to areas below.

Common Warning Signs To Look For:
• Torn or missing joint material
• Separation from the surrounding concrete
• Water leaking to levels below
• Deteriorated concrete along joint edges
• Excessive movement or uneven joint openings

Restek Recommendation: Routine inspection and maintenance of expansion joints can help address these issues before they develop into more extensive repairs.

Parking garages are exposed to water, vehicle traffic, temperature changes, and deicing chemicals year after year. Over time, even minor deterioration can develop into larger structural and waterproofing concerns.

Common Warning Signs To Look For:
• Cracking or spalling concrete
• Rust staining on concrete surfaces
• Leaking cracks and joints
• Failed or deteriorated sealants
• Delaminated or worn traffic coatings
• Exposed reinforcing steel
• Deterioration around drains and expansion joints

Restek Recommendation: Regular inspections and early repairs can help slow deterioration, reduce long-term repair costs, and extend the service life of the structure. We can help you by evaluating existing conditions and implementing practical repair solutions for your parking structures.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR is a series on concrete and waterproofing deterioration and how Restek, Inc. can be a part your reinforcing solution.

Pedestrian traffic coatings are an excellent way to protect balconies and common areas in apartment complexes. Check out our team installing the Sikalastic 1500 system on a roof deck patio at an apartment complex in Austin, TX.

We are proud to partner with facility owners to preserve critical infrastructure and deliver high-quality workmanship that stands the test of time.

Here is an outstanding project done by our Oklahoma team at the Northwest Medical Center in Oklahoma. Structural concrete repairs were completed along with the installation of a new traffic coating system. These repairs will help extend the service life of the parking structure while providing a durable, protected surface for the patients, visitors, and staff who use the garage.

A big thank you to our dedicated field crews and project partners for another job well done.
