What Makes Concrete Deteriorate?


If you have concrete surfaces at your property, there are many ways that it can deteriorate. Here at Splash Proof America, we want to make sure you are educated on how to preserve each of your outdoor recreational areas. Below we are letting you know about some of the common causes of concrete deterioration. 

Top Causes Of Concrete Damage

 

While concrete is often known as one of the most reliable outdoor surfaces, there are a few ways that damage can occur. Over time, one of the ways concrete can start to deteriorate is by enduring constant cold weather. When it is constantly cold out, this can lead to cracking when the surface has eventually warmed back up.

 

Certain strong chemicals can also be responsible for the breaking down of your concrete. This is why it is important to make sure you only clean your concrete with safe products. If your pool is located by a concrete patio, if left untreated excess chlorine exposure could cause damage as well.

 

Excess moisture is also a top contender when it comes to the deterioration of your concrete surfaces. If your concrete has water trapped below its surface, this creates a breeding ground for mold and mildew. This is why it is always a good idea to have your concrete sealed.
