Concrete deterioration — spalling, scaling, pitting — happens when the surface paste breaks down faster than the aggregate beneath. Once it starts, it accelerates: every winter, every chemical spill, every freeze-thaw cycle makes it worse.

Common Causes of Concrete Floor Deterioration in Huntsville
1. De-icing salt damage (winters in North Alabama) 2. Freeze-thaw cycling on porous, unsealed concrete 3. Acid exposure (battery acid, vinegar, cleaning chemicals) 4. Originally over-watered concrete with weak surface
Why Concrete Floor Deterioration Problems Matter
1. Loose aggregate becomes a trip and tire hazard 2. Deterioration accelerates each season 3. Eventual structural slab failure if water reaches rebar
