Surface Structural Degradation
Environmental wear, UV exposure, moisture, and traffic can erode surface-applied structural materials — such as coatings, overlays, and protective finishes — compromising long-term performance and safety.

What Causes Surface Degradation?
Surface degradation often occurs when exterior treatments are subjected to:
- Repeated freeze-thaw cycles and moisture ingress
- UV degradation and chemical exposure
- Improperly applied or aged coatings
- Heavy traffic wear or poor substrate adhesion
Why It Matters
When protective layers degrade, the underlying structure becomes exposed to water, oxygen, chlorides, and impact damage — all of which accelerate deterioration and reduce the system’s service life.
Recommended Solution
Waterproofing & Sealing helps prevent future damage by restoring surface protection and reducing permeability to moisture and contaminants.
