RED FLAG · PARKING GARAGE
A Torn Expansion Joint
Garage decks are built in sections, with a joint between them so the concrete can move as it heats and cools. A rubber seal keeps that joint watertight. Plows and years of movement tear it.
Walk the joint lines across your drive aisles. A gap in the seal, or salt and grit packed into the opening, means water is getting through. Then look at the ceiling under the joint. Drips, rust stains, white crust, or a damp beam there mean the water is already reaching the structure.
Every freeze and thaw through the winter pushes more salt water through that gap and down onto the beams and the deck below, which is how rust stains on the ceiling and broken concrete with bare steel get started. Resealing a joint is a much smaller job than repairing the concrete it was there to protect.
If you see this in your garage, send a photo and the address to info@ccrs-services.com.
