Driveways & Garages In properly made concrete every aggregate particle should be covered with paste and the spaces between the aggregate particles completely filled with paste. Our ground has an abundance of salt which forms Subflorescence when too much water and salt is wicked up and absorbed into the concrete it will collect underneath the creamed finished layer of concrete. This salt will crystallize creating pressure on the top layer of concrete and leading to spalling and the degradation of the face and expulsion of stucco from it s surface.. When the internal rebar becomes moist it will begin to rust and corrode. As it does so it will also create off gassing which puts pressure on the concrete leading to spalling and cracking. The Thermodynamics and moisture must be curtailed to stop efflorescence spalling and concrete surface degradation. Capillary Action transports liquids through porous solid by way of surface tension acting in the capillary pores. Concrete bricks can wick over three pounds of water per square foot per day. No stucco or paint can stick to any surface with that much moisture. Closing those capillaries is the first step to arresting the destruction of your concrete. Hydrophilic densifyers (Green Tek P1007) which is absorbed and utilize water to catalyze and react with cement particles to produce elongated crystalline structures. When the sun comes out the water moves inward away from the warm area and wicks into the cold areas. With miles of landscaping on the backsides of our sound walls the amount of moisture is abundant. The moisture gets trapped in the inner sound wall cavity which has no ventilation. The water vapor is driven inward toward the cool insides of the sound walls as well as into our air conditioned dry homes and buildings. The moisture then condenses on the interior sides of the walls. This trapped moisture now facilitates spalling efflorescence off gassing and degradation to the insides of the sound walls. In our homes and buildings the moisture breads a serious health issue. Black mold thrives in hot climates hot outside and air-conditioned cool walls almost invite the fungus to infest the insides of our walls. The solution is to eliminate moisture absorption by the concrete and brick surfaces. Seamingly Straight Inc. 702-810-0035 www.seaminglystraight.com
