Parking Structures
Parking structures are vital for multifamily housing and commercial properties, providing convenient access and secure parking for residents and visitors. However, the constant strain from vehicles, environmental exposure, and daily wear can lead to deterioration if not addressed promptly. Proactive maintenance and repair solutions are critical to preserving the functionality, safety, and longevity of your parking structures. From expansion joint repairs to crack sealing and vertical concrete restoration, our tailored solutions ensure your property remains secure, accessible, and cost-effective to maintain.
Gravity Feed Crack Repair in Decks
Cracks in parking deck surfaces may seem minor but can lead to significant structural damage if ignored. Water, fuel, oil, and deicing chemicals seep into cracks, breaking down the concrete and compromising rebar over time.
The Risks of Ignoring Cracks:
- Chemical Damage: Fuel and oil saturate the porous concrete, leading to slow but irreversible degradation.
- Water Damage: Water reaches the rebar, causing rust that expands and breaks apart the structure.
- Structural Failures: Signs like falling debris or corner damage indicate advanced deterioration.
Benefits of Gravity Feed Crack Repair:
- Seal cracks with low-viscosity epoxy to prevent further damage.
- Protect rebar and underlying concrete from harmful substances.
- Extend the life of parking decks with cost-effective and easy-to-apply solutions.
Routine inspections and timely repairs are key to avoiding costly structural issues. By sealing cracks early, you preserve the integrity of your parking decks and reduce future repair expenses.

Vertical & Overhead Concrete Repair
The vertical and overhead elements of your parking structure are critical to its stability. Damage in these areas, such as cracks, rusting rebar, and spalling, can compromise the structure’s safety and longevity if not addressed promptly.
Common Issues to Watch For:
- Cracks in Columns: Use low-pressure epoxy injection kits for effective repairs.
- Rusted Rebar & Spalling: Apply rebar primer and overhead repair mortar; inspect decks above for cracks if rust originates from the top deck.
- Deteriorating Joints: Restore dimensions with horizontal repair mortar and reseal damaged joints.
- Water Leaks Between Decks: Seal expansion joints around columns or other key areas to prevent further damage.
Benefits of Timely Repairs:
- Prevent structural failures and costly repairs.
- Improve safety for residents and visitors.
- Extend the life of your parking structure with proactive maintenance.
Addressing these problems early with the right materials and techniques ensures that your parking structure remains safe and reliable.

Expansion Joint Repair
Expansion joints are some of the most high-impact areas in any parking structure, particularly at the entrance where vehicles transition from street-level surfaces. Over time, the constant pressure causes spalling and damage, turning minor bumps into major disruptions. Expansion joint repair is integral to the long-term health of your parking structures.
Key Challenges:
- Frequent damage from vehicle traffic at high speeds.
- Escalating deterioration as minor issues worsen over time.
- Extended downtime required for traditional concrete repairs.
Fast-Cure Solutions for Expansion Joints:
- Block off half the area and repair with fast-curing materials.
- Allow traffic to resume within 2 hours of pouring, minimizing disruptions.
- Extend the lifespan of expansion joints and improve resident satisfaction.
By utilizing advanced repair products, you can restore damaged joints quickly and efficiently, ensuring smooth and safe transitions for vehicles.
