ON THIS EPISODE OF THE CONCRETE LOGIC PODCAST

Spring is when concrete starts telling the truth.

After months of cold weather, snow, ice, rain, deicers, and freeze-thaw abuse, your existing concrete may start showing what it went through all winter.

In this episode, Dr. Jon Belkowitz joins the show to talk about what to look for when the weather warms up. Scaling. Flaking. Blotchy spots. Exposed aggregate. White staining. ASR gel. Rust bleeding from cracks. All of it is concrete trying to tell you something.

Some of it may be surface damage.

Some of it may be a sign of a much bigger problem inside the concrete.

And if you wait until the damage is obvious, you may already be late.
