Concrete Cancer Repair Melbourne

Describe the spalling, cracking or rust staining you can see and your enquiry goes to one local provider, who arranges an inspection and a written quote. Concrete cancer starts when water reaches the steel reinforcing inside the concrete and reacts with it to form rust. The rust takes up more room than the steel it came from, and the steel is the part carrying the structure's strength.

Before you get a quote

Four things to know first

  • Repairing a home is domestic building work In Victoria, repairing a home, or any part of one, is domestic building work. Over A$10,000 it needs a builder registered with the Building and Plumbing Commission.
  • An apartment building raises a different question The regulator lists Class 2 under both registrations; check the builder's class.
  • A registered engineer for structural work A structural engineering service must come from a registered practising professional engineer, or someone working under one's direct supervision.
  • The owners corporation repairs common property In an apartment building, the owners corporation, not a single lot owner, must repair and maintain the common property.

Three steps

From enquiry to quote

  1. Tell us what you can see The building, the floor and what has cracked, rusted or fallen.
  2. It is passed on Your enquiry goes to one independent local provider covering Melbourne, Port Phillip and Bayside. The provider pays for the introduction; you never do.
  3. A provider inspects and quotes The provider looks at the damage, says how far it runs and prices the work in writing. The price is theirs to set.

Concrete Cancer Repair across Melbourne

In Victoria, repairing a home, or any part of one, is domestic building work under the Domestic Building Contracts Act. The Building and Plumbing Commission says a builder must be registered to carry out work worth more than A$10,000. A structural assessment or repair design is a job for a registered practising structural engineer, or someone directly supervised by one. An apartment building raises a different question first: which registration covers the work. The regulator lists Class 2 under both registrations; check the builder's class. If an owners corporation manages the building, it, not an individual lot owner, is responsible for repairing and maintaining the common property: the owners corporation page sets out the Victorian rules.
