FAQs

What does a structural inspection include for a Miami condo or commercial building?

How do you address concrete spalling and corrosion near the coast?
We identify the moisture and chloride sources, define proper demolition limits, treat reinforcement, specify repair mortars, and integrate waterproofing to protect the repaired area. L
