How Alcore Rendering Restored a Concrete Slab Damaged by Moisture

Moisture damage is a common issue for concrete slabs, especially in areas like Sydney where rainfall and humidity are prevalent. In this particular project, the concrete slab above a garage had suffered extensive damage due to prolonged exposure to moisture. The damage was evident in the form of cracks, surface deterioration, and visible staining, which not only affected the structure’s appearance but also posed potential risks to its durability.

At Alcore Rendering, we approached this project with a comprehensive plan to address the moisture damage and restore the slab to its former strength and appearance. Here’s how we tackled it step-by-step:

• Assessment and Preparation:We began by thoroughly inspecting the slab to identify the extent of the damage. Once assessed, we cleaned the surface to remove dirt, loose particles, and any existing sealants, ensuring the area was ready for repair.

• Moisture Management: To prevent further damage, we applied a specialised moisture barrier to the slab. This step is crucial in sealing the concrete and protecting it from future water infiltration, especially in Sydney’s damp climate.

• Crack Repairs and Surface Restoration: Using high-quality repair materials, we filled cracks and smoothed out the surface, ensuring a seamless finish. Our team carefully applied the render, restoring the slab’s appearance while reinforcing its durability

• Final Coating and Protection: To complete the project, we applied a weather-resistant finish to the slab. This not only enhanced its aesthetic appeal but also provided a long-lasting protective layer against Sydney’s varying weather conditions.

The transformation was remarkable. What once was a moisture-damaged slab now boasts a polished, weather-resistant finish. The garage beneath the slab is now protected from leaks, and the exterior matches the homeowner's expectations for both functionality and style.

With careful planning and attention to detail, Alcore Rendering delivered a result that ensures the slab will stand up to moisture and environmental challenges for years to come.
