Rectifying the issue early has been proven to save money as the issue is not as widespread as it will develop to be. This is because once a structure has a leak, or concrete cancer, more water will reach the affected (and other) area causing more rusting, displacement of concrete and cracking.
St Luke's Catholic Church, located in Buranda Queensland, called in Remedial after noticing structural issues which were affecting the bell tower of the church. Upon inspection, Remedial discovered that years of exposure to the elements had allowed water ingress, causing concrete cancer to spread and deteriorate the structural integrity of the building. It was apparent that immediate rectification works were required to strengthen the weakened structure which was being worsened by water which was leaking inside the building when it rained.
Recognised for their age and beauty, as well as their architectural significance, maintenance work on Heritage listed buildings requires specialised expertise.
When brick or stone walls begin to show signs of deterioration such as erosion, cracking or fretting, there are a number of causes that may be to blame. Water ingress, direct impact and salt degradation are three of the most common causes we encounter.
