The Case for Not Replacing that Damaged Concrete
Spring is the time of year we begin to realize the beating our concrete surfaces took during the cold weather months. Pitting, spalling, unevenness and cracks are common consequences of the harsh temperatures on concrete. Freeze-thaw cycles, snow and ice, and snow-melt chemicals also play a part.

Benefits of Using Epoxies in Concrete Repairs
