Fixing concrete cracks is slow, expensive, and easy to put off — and small problems left alone become big repair bills. RipaLith is building a biological alternative to conventional chemical repair, born from research at the University of Colorado Boulder.
A narrow set of chemical parameters can only do so much. Here's how the old approach compares to a biological one.
RipaLith's approach is grounded in biology, not just chemistry — and it starts with technology proven at one of the country's leading research universities.
Our core technology was developed at the University of Colorado Boulder, giving us a scientifically grounded starting point rather than another incremental chemical tweak.
Instead of relying on narrow chemical parameters, we turn to biology to create repairs that better match how concrete actually behaves over time.
Our goal is straightforward: make concrete repair simpler and more affordable than what's possible with today's conventional methods.
Longer-lasting repairs mean fewer repeat jobs — avoiding the bigger bills that come from deferred maintenance.
All concrete cracks. Fixing those cracks is slow, expensive, and easy to put off — but ignoring small problems today often leads to big problems later, with even bigger repair bills.
RipaLith is working on a better way. Our goal is straightforward: make concrete repair simpler, more affordable, and longer-lasting than what's possible today.
