Frequently Asked Questions
About Concrete Restoration
What is the difference between concrete grind and seal and polished concrete?
It depends on the condition of the concrete and whether the damage is mainly surface-level or structural. EarthQuake can inspect the area and advise whether restoration is a practical option or whether more extensive work is required.
Can concrete restoration stop cracks from getting worse?
Some cracks can be repaired and stabilised, but the cause of the cracking is important. Movement, ground conditions or structural issues may need to be addressed before repairs are carried out.
Can spalling concrete be repaired?
Yes, spalled concrete can often be repaired by removing loose or deteriorated material and rebuilding the affected area with suitable repair products. EarthQuake can assess the extent of the damage before recommending a restoration method.
Can damaged concrete edges and corners be rebuilt?
In many cases, chipped or broken edges and corners can be repaired rather than replacing the entire concrete section. This is common around steps, slabs, loading areas and other high-use locations.
Will repaired concrete match the existing surface exactly?
A close match can often be achieved, but older concrete naturally changes in colour and appearance over time. EarthQuake will aim for the most consistent result possible while making the repair strong and practical.
Can concrete be restored before applying another coating or finish?
Yes. Concrete restoration is often completed before resurfacing, epoxy flooring, sealing or other finishing systems are applied. Repairing the underlying concrete first helps create a more suitable base for the next stage.
Can reinforcement corrosion cause concrete damage?
Yes. Where steel reinforcement begins to corrode, expansion can cause surrounding concrete to crack or break away. These situations may require more specialised repair work and should be properly assessed.
Is concrete restoration suitable for commercial and industrial properties?
Yes. EarthQuake provides concrete restoration for commercial and industrial properties across Melbourne, including warehouses, workshops, car parks, loading areas and other high-use concrete environments.
How soon can restored concrete be used again?
This depends on the type of repair, materials used and site conditions. Some repairs may be ready relatively quickly, while others require additional curing time before the area can return to normal use.
How much does concrete restoration cost in Melbourne?
Concrete restoration costs vary depending on the type of damage, size of the area, access and repair method required. EarthQuake can inspect the concrete and provide a quote based on the specific condition of the site.
