Concrete is porous. Water, salt, oils and other contaminants penetrate the pores of the concrete. Water will freeze and expand cracking and popping the concrete. Cracks will form and allow more water to enter the concrete expanding the cracks and deteriorating the concrete. Wire mesh and rebar will absorb the moisture, rust and create more deterioration from within. Proper cleaning and sealing will prolong the useful life of the structure.
