Imagine this: You’re walking along a street admiring skyscrapers that tower over you and charming brick houses. You’ve probably wondered how these buildings stay so tall. The Rectify Group Specialists of concrete & masonry is what keeps these structures standing tall.

Concrete is the reliable friend who always has your best interests at heart. It is made with cement, water and sand. Once mixed, they create a solid bond. Add some steel reinforcement bar (rebar), and you’ve created a superhero team. Rebar adds extra muscle to concrete in order to handle tension force.

Masonry, however, dates back to ancient times. Consider the masonry wonders in medieval castles or ancient pyramids. Masonry and bricks are stacked to create walls that will withstand time and weather. However, even masonry requires a little re-inforcement every so often.

Ever tried building an Lego tower without these tiny connecting parts? It’d be a mess in no time. The addition of wire mesh and rebar within masonry structures will also increase their stability. These reinforcements work like glue to hold everything together.

Let me tell about my friend Dave who decided last summer to build his dream backyard patio. After six months, he realized that he had to reinforce the slab of concrete because “it is just a simple patio”. Dave’s story: What is the moral? It’s important to reinforce your team!

Maintenance is a very important topic, and as much fun as watching paint dry. Regular inspections allow you to spot problems early, before they can become a disaster. Be on the lookout for any cracks or wear marks in surfaces. They could be a sign of deeper problems.

What about the horror stories of foundation failures, you ask? Yikes! Every day, foundations carry enormous loads; any weakness here could spell trouble on top! The strengthening of foundations will ensure buildings are stable against shifting soils and seismic activity.

Imagine trying to make cookies without heating your oven up first. That won’t work out well. The preparation of surfaces prior to pouring concrete and laying bricks is crucial for success.

Remember to waterproof! It’s like wearing rain boots when it’s stormy outside. You’ll stay dry, comfortable and warm inside as chaos rages on the outside. Applying sealants will prevent moisture from seeping through structures, causing them to deteriorate over time.
