Parking Garage Restoration Services
Enhance the life cycle of your deck by removing harmful elements, such as dirt, carbon dust, mold, mildew, oil, and gum, mitigating the need for costly structural repairs down the road.
Vertical and Horizontal Surfaces
Elevated and High-Rise
Cold and Hot-Water Solutions
Eco-Friendly Products
Detergent Cleaning
Remove surface dirt and loose debris from flat, drivable surfaces with routine parking garage sweeping.
Parking garage sweeping has many benefits:
Extends the life of asphalt and concrete surfaces by removing abrasive materials
Reduces the amount of material tracked indoors by foot traffic
Reduces potential slip & fall hazards
Reduces the number of pollutants washed in storm drains
Waterproofing sealants and coatings protect your parking garage against air and water leakage. Protective coatings can also provide aggregate for traction and bring a fresh aesthetic to the appearance of the substrate. EDS installs various levels of sealant and coating systems and can help you determine the right fit for your parking structure.
Types of Coatings
Vehicular Coatings
Pedestrian Coatings
Penetrating Water Repellents
Corrosion Inhibitor Repellents
Parking Deck Striping
Sealant Materials:
Silicone Sealants
Urethane Sealants
Epoxy Sealants
Post-tension cables are used to improve the strength and seismic resistance of concrete slabs. Over time, movement, corrosion, and exposure can damage post-tension cables, posing a safety hazard. EDS has years of experience in repairing post-tension cables to restore the integrity of the concrete.
Expansion joint systems allow movement in parking structures, mitigating cracks and spalls in the concrete. When they reach their lifetime maximum, they must be replaced to continue to be effective. EDS will remove your failing expansion joints, properly prepare the substrate, and install new expansion joints for your parking garage.

When the structural components that support commercial buildings and parking garages become compromised, professional structural steel repairs may be needed to reinforce integrity. When done correctly, these repairs extend the life of your structure.
Damage to double-T and inverted-T shapes in concrete can happen suddenly, such as with a vehicle hitting parking garage supports, or it can occur gradually over time, such as with weathering and normal wear and tear.
Our experts can assess the damage, schedule the necessary repairs, and then fix the issues at hand. These repairs may include removing and replacing damaged concrete, as well as fixing any underlying problems that may have led to the damage. Repairing concrete and steel structures is a vital part of maintaining the structural integrity and overall safety of the parking garage.
Loose or damaged concrete leads to safety and trip hazards on your property. Concrete repair and restoration can rectify these issues while improving the aesthetics of your parking garage. Our crews have years of hands-on experience in concrete removal, patching, and replacement along with treatment of any exposed rebar.

Full-depth slab replacement entails removing and replacing a slab to the bottom of the concrete, in order to restore areas of deterioration. This improves pavement rideability and structural integrity, while extending pavement service life.
Carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) based solutions consist of plates, rods, and structural epoxy resin-based adhesives. They are reliable and high-performance structural strengthening systems. These systems are widely used for strengthening dynamically and statically loaded buildings plus bridges, beams, ceilings, walls, and other structures. Carbon fiber reinforcement has several benefits, including:
Increased strength and durability
Reduced weight and cost
High resistance to corrosion
The epoxy injection method is a good way to repair cracks, especially if access to the repair site is challenging. It works for horizontal, vertical, and overhead applications, and it can be applied from the interior when the exterior of the structure is inaccessible for waterproofing. While the concrete will naturally expand and contract over time, the epoxy injections mitigate movement to create more structural strength and stability.
