Concrete Cancer Repair Brisbane
Concrete cancer is rust forming inside concrete, around the steel that reinforces it. Rust takes up more space than the steel it came from, so it pushes outward, cracks the concrete and eventually breaks pieces off. Whether it is contained or spreading is a question for an inspection, not a photo.

Before you get a quote
Four things to know first
- Ask to see the licence QBCC says a contractor must hold a QBCC licence for building work valued over A$3,300. Ask to see it before you sign or pay.
- Home warranty stops at the tower QBCC says multiple-unit dwellings more than 3 storeys above a car park are not insurable under the Queensland Home Warranty Scheme.
- An engineer designs the repair In Queensland, engineering assessment and design must be done by a practising registered professional engineer, or under one's direct supervision.
- Owners see two quotes first Before a general meeting votes on major spending, every owner must be given copies of at least two quotations.

Concrete Cancer Repair across Brisbane
A UNSW materials tutorial calls concrete cancer a major concern in older buildings, and researchers at James Cook University name chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcing steel as the main cause of deterioration in coastal concrete structures. In a Brisbane unit building, the concrete that has failed is usually part of the structure the body corporate has to keep sound, so the first question most owners have is who arranges the repair, not what it costs: the body corporate page sets out the Queensland rules.
