Concrete deterioration, commonly known as concrete cancer or spalling, is one of the most serious issues facing multi-storey residential buildings. Left untreated, it can compromise structural safety, allow water ingress, and escalate repair costs. At Act Now, we provide tailored concrete repair solutions that go beyond surface patching to address the root cause of damage. Our methodology combines detailed condition assessments, steel reinforcement treatment, and reinstatement using high-strength repair mortars. Where required, we apply protective coatings and waterproof membranes to prevent recurrence.
We provide targeted concrete repair services that address both visible damage and underlying causes such as reinforcement corrosion and water ingress. Our approach ensures structural safety, compliance, and long-term durability for multi-storey residential, commercial, and strata properties.
Our expertise includes:
Every project is carried out to Australian Standards, ensuring quality outcomes, safety, and peace of mind for our clients.
Water damage is one of the most expensive and disruptive issues for strata properties and new developments. Effective waterproofing is not just a requirement — it’s an investment in the long-term performance of your building.
At ACT NOW, we help strata managers and developers safeguard their buildings with tailored, future-proof waterproofing solutions.
Concrete cancer, or spalling, occurs when steel reinforcement inside concrete begins to corrode. As the steel rusts, it expands, causing cracking, delamination, and chunks of concrete to break away.
Beyond being a safety hazard for residents, untreated spalling weakens structural elements and can spread rapidly. It also increases repair costs the longer it is left unaddressed.
Warning signs include cracks, rust stains, bubbling concrete, and exposed reinforcement. Regular building inspections are the best way to identify issues before they escalate.
