Specialised Repair Applications
Foundation settlement cracks, basement waterproofing, industrial floors, commercial slabs, residential garage floors, bridge decks, parking garages, water tanks, and marine structures requiring specialised crack repair using corrosion-resistant materials and DOT specifications.
Structural Integrity Specialists
Critical Foundation Protection
Concrete crack repair and filling prevent minor problems from becoming major failures. We’re Sunshine Coast specialists in permanent crack repair solutions, using advanced injection techniques and structural repair materials to restore concrete integrity. When cracks appear, structural capacity gets compromised. Water infiltration and freeze-thaw cycles weaken concrete, turning hairline cracks into structural liabilities costing thousands.
Beyond Surface Fixes
Most contractors offer quick crack filling that fails within months. We provide structural crack repair addressing root causes, restoring load-bearing capacity, and preventing water infiltration. Our systematic approach evaluates crack origins, determines appropriate repair methods, and delivers permanent solutions. We analyse movement patterns, measure dimensions, test concrete strength, and assess structural loads for proper repair selection.
Engineering-Grade Solutions
Our crack repair techniques meet structural engineering requirements, using high-strength repair materials, precision injection equipment, and proven methodologies, restoring concrete to original performance or better. Every repair is tested to confirm proper operation. We use materials exceeding engineering standards, injection equipment ensuring complete crack penetration, and methodologies delivering verified structural restoration.
Specialised Removal Applications
Load-bearing crack injection uses high-pressure epoxy for structural restoration. Settlement crack repair stabilises foundation damage with movement-accommodating materials. Shrinkage crack treatment provides permanent repair using flexible systems. Construction joint repair structurally integrates cold joints. Control joint restoration repairs failed planned joints. Expansion joint repair handles thermal movement.
Precision crack routing opens cracks for optimal repair placement. V-groove routing creates mechanical bonding surfaces for permanent adhesion. Complete cleaning removes debris and loose materials before repair. Priming and bonding prepare surfaces for maximum adhesion. Depth assessment measures crack dimensions for proper repair planning. Access creation opens narrow cracks, enabling full penetration
High-pressure injection delivers structural epoxy under controlled pressure for complete filling. Gravity feed systems provide slow-cure repairs for non-critical applications. Flexible sealants accommodate movement in active cracks. Rigid repairs restore maximum load capacity in dormant cracks. Stitching repairs add mechanical reinforcement for severe damage. Carbon fibre reinforcement provides advanced strengthening.
Crack Assessment & Classification
We diagnose the causes of cracks to prevent future problems. Our systematic assessment determines appropriate repair methods through crack origin analysis, movement evaluation, structural impact assessment, precise measurements, and pattern recognition.
Classification System:
- Hairline Cracks (< 0.1mm): Surface tension requiring sealant
- Fine Cracks (0.1-0.5mm): Minor structural damage needing flexible repair
- Medium Cracks (0.5-2.0mm): Moderate damage requiring rigid repair
- Wide Cracks (2.0-5.0mm): Significant damage needing structural injection
- Major Cracks (> 5.0mm): Severe damage requiring engineering assessment
Permanent vs. Temporary Solutions
Permanent Structural Repair
Long-term solutions address root causes through structural restoration, future prevention, material compatibility, and design integration, ensuring lasting performance and warranties.
- Root causes eliminated permanently.
- Structural capacity fully restored
- Future prevention through design
- Compatible materials ensure longevity
- Integration with structural systems
Temporary Repair Solutions
Limited situations requiring interim solutions, including emergency stabilisation, budget constraints, access limitations, seasonal timing, and investigation periods before permanent repair.
- Emergency stabilisation measures only
- Budget constraints require delays
- Access limitations prevent completion
- Seasonal timing affects availability
- Investigation periods need time
Cost-Effective Crack Solutions

Frequently Asked Questions
Queensland’s climate creates thermal expansion, clay soil movement, salt air corrosion, UV damage, and humidity variations, causing concrete to crack. Our coastal environment accelerates concrete deterioration.
Cracks wider than 0.5mm, growing cracks, water infiltration, or structural movement require professional assessment. Don’t wait – early repair prevents expensive failures.
Crack filling is cosmetic and temporary. Structural repair addresses root causes, restores load capacity, prevents water infiltration, and provides permanent solutions.
Yes, we specialise in foundation crack repair, including settlement cracks, basement waterproofing, and structural stabilisation using engineering-grade materials and methods.
