Challenge
A substantial section of a lower-level subterranean garage suffered from a significant efflorescence outbreak. The efflorescence, a migration of salts to the concrete surface, caused unsightly white stains across roughly 40 parking spaces. The property owner lacked the expertise to address the issue and needed a swift, effective solution to restore the integrity and aesthetics of the garage before tenant holidays.
Solution
Our team of highly trained commercial property maintenance and repair specialists identified the problem as efflorescence. Through a meticulous assessment of the severity and affected area, we formulated a multi-pronged approach. This included:
​
-
In-depth investigation: We conducted a comprehensive on-site inspection to determine the extent of the efflorescence and any underlying causes, such as moisture ingress.
-
Targeted cleaning: Utilizing a low-pressure, high-volume power washing technique with a gentle, specially formulated acid solution, we safely and effectively dissolved and removed the efflorescence from the concrete surface.
-
Multi-stage cleaning: For a complete and lasting solution, we employed three distinct power washing methods, each specifically chosen to address the unique challenges of efflorescence removal on concrete.
-
Project management: We meticulously planned the project to ensure efficient execution within the limited timeframe available during the tenant holiday period.
Results
Our expertise and strategic approach resulted in the complete removal of the efflorescence, restoring the affected parking spaces to their original condition. The project was completed ahead of schedule, ensuring minimal disruption to tenants upon their return. More importantly, by eliminating the efflorescence at its source, we mitigated the risk of its recurrence, saving the property owner from future maintenance headaches.
