Fixing concrete without inspection — is it a good idea?
Florcon, Fawzi Kesserwany

When cracks or leaks appear, it’s normal to want to fix them fast.

But here are the most common mistakes we see on site:

🔹 Sealing an active crack without understanding its movement

🔹 Hiding the symptoms without addressing the root cause (e.g., water infiltration, freeze-thaw, corrosion)

🔹 Using generic repair products that don’t withstand Quebec’s climate

🔹 Neglecting the internal reinforcement (rust​ed rebar = weakened structure)

👉 These "quick fixes" can actually make the problem worse over time.

👷‍♂️ At Florcon, every repair starts with a technical assessment.

Before you repair, get it inspected.

A solid diagnosis = a durable repair.
