Spalled Concrete

When the rebars located inside steel-reinforced concrete rust, the concrete eventually cracks, which in turn weakens the structural members of a building or house (tie beams, columns, slabs). Spalled or cracked concrete is very common, especially in areas located near bodies of saltwater. Concrete is a porous material and like a large sponge it soaks up the outside elements. The salt in the air speeds up the corrosion process that causes concrete to crack. Concrete may also crack prematurely if the rebars are not adequately covered with concrete. In order to repair spalled concrete, Snapp Industries, Inc. sandblasts the rusted steel and replaces the steel rebars and recovers it with gunite (pneumatically sprayed concrete). The use of gunite enables our technicians to repair spalled concrete quickly and affordably.

Pressure Grouting

This method is used to re-stabilize pools, foundations, and footers. Portland cement is pumped beneath the ground in order to fill voids and compact loosely consolidated soils. A hydraulic pump pushes the "slurry" grout material through a hose connected to a hollow galvanized steel pipe. This pipe is driven down to a solid base or bedrock before pumping commences. Gradually the grout material works its way up from the solid base until it reaches the bottom of the foundation. For additional information call Snapp Industries, Inc. at (305) 635-0687.

Gray Patches of Pool — Miami, FL — Snapp Industries, Inc.

Membrane Application

This system is applied to above grade pools when a pool is leaking. Usually, the pools are built above parking garages or living quarters. The reinforced concrete that makes the pool shell may be cracked, which contributes to the leaking. The picture on the left shows a pool that is in the process of being repaired. Here you can see the gray patches are areas that were cracked. Gunite was applied to these areas after the steel was replaced.

PIN PILES

Pin piles are small-diameter (3 to 4 inch) schedule-40 galvanized pipes. They are driven into the ground with a hand-held or excavator-mounted jackhammer. The weight capacity for a 3-4-inch pin pile is 10,000 pounds each. Short pipe lengths, usually 5-feet, are used and are mechanically welded together. They are driven down until they reach a solid base or bedrock. This permanently stops a structure from settling. Snapp Industries, Inc. professionally installs pin piles to residential and commercial properties. Call us today at (305) 635-0687 for additional information.

Pin Pile Installation — Miami, FL — Snapp Industries, Inc.

Epoxy Injection

This is a process used to repair all different types of concrete structures. An epoxy is forced through the crack, under a high rate of pressure, filling the cracks and welds them together structurally. This procedure forms a bond that is stronger than the original concrete. Snapp Industries, Inc. has over 45 years of experience epoxy injecting many concrete structures such as pools, parking garages, columns, beams, floor slabs, rib joist, pilings, etc., in South Florida.

Chemical Grouting

Chemical grouting, also known as urethane injection is a method used to seal leaking cracks, fractures, joints and holes in concrete and masonry structures. When cured, the grout forms a closed-cell elastic gasket that stops water with a three-way seal, chemical bond, mechanical bond, and compression seal. Snapp Industries, Inc. uses chemical grout to stop leaking water in parking garages, pools, fountains, planters, etc. We work with residential and commercial clients.
