Concrete Spalling and Rebar Repair
When rust bursts through a concrete surface it is a sign the reinforcement has been corroding for years. Urban Civil Services treats spalling at the source, repairing both the steel and the concrete so the surface does not fail again after the next monsoon.
The Spalling Cycle
- Moisture and chlorides reach the reinforcement.
- The steel corrodes and expands up to six times in volume.
- The expanding bar cracks and pushes off the concrete cover.
- Fresh steel is exposed and the cycle accelerates.
Breaking the Cycle
We chip back to sound concrete, clean the bars to bare metal, apply a rust converter and zinc-rich primer, and rebuild the cover with polymer-modified mortar. A protective coating over the finished surface keeps new chlorides out.
Cosmetic or Structural?
Spalling is never only cosmetic. If rebar is exposed, capacity is already reducing, so timely repair protects both the appearance and the structure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Spalling is the breaking away of concrete cover caused by expanding corrosion of the reinforcement inside it.
The usual causes are water leakage, poor concrete cover and chloride attack from Mumbais coastal air.
Yes. Every spalled area means reinforcement has lost section and the load path is compromised until it is repaired.
Good cover, crack sealing and anti-carbonation coatings prevent moisture and chlorides from reaching the steel.
