As another Midwest winter approaches, property managers, facility engineers, and maintenance teams are once again faced with a familiar question:
Will your structure make it through the season without damage?
Seasonal changes—especially freeze-thaw cycles, de-icing salts, and water infiltration—can take a serious toll on precast and prestressed concrete components. Hairline cracks, spalling, and joint failures that may seem minor today can lead to major structural issues if left unchecked.
At Professional Prestress Services Company (PPSC), we specialize in restoring and extending the life of precast concrete structures. Whether your building is showing signs of wear or you just want peace of mind heading into another season, now is the time to take action.
Understand the Seasonal Threats to Your Concrete
1. Freeze-Thaw Cycles
When water seeps into cracks and freezes, it expands—causing internal pressure and worsening existing defects. This repeated freeze-thaw action is one of the leading causes of concrete deterioration in the Midwest.
2. Water Infiltration
Clogged or damaged sealants and failed expansion joints can allow water to reach reinforcing steel. Over time, this leads to rust, which expands and causes cracking and delamination of the concrete.
3. De-Icing Salts
Chloride ions from road salts can penetrate concrete, accelerating corrosion of internal reinforcement and weakening the structure from the inside out.
Early Intervention Saves You More Than Money
While it’s tempting to defer minor repairs, waiting often leads to increased repair scope, longer downtime, and significantly higher costs. Restoring concrete early not only preserves structural integrity—it also reduces liability, improves aesthetics, and extends service life.
