What should you do about rebar that's rusting?

Until all the rebar is gone. Rebar is just low grade steel with next to nothing in it to prevent rust. After a surface coat of rust gets on it (2-3 days) it will slow the process but it will never stop. Rebar is normally set inside concrete which also slows down the rusting but if you break open any concrete slab with rebar in it you will see it has rusted. Better still, avoid the problem in the first place. If you don't want to see rust, don't use steel. use composite (FRP) rebar. this is manufactured from glass-fibre based composites and is used where steel can not or should not be used.


You are in the process of building a new pool and you are at the gunite stage they did the gunite 2 weeks ago and you noticed that there is rebar and wire ties showing in the gunite is this bad?

Rebar and or ties exposed in a gunite/shotcrete pool shell is bad but not unrepairable. The exposed steel can rust, and may bleed through the plaster leaving a stain. It may also cause the plaster to delaminate in that area. To remedy the situation the rebar and ties should be cut back or ground out and into the concrete. Hydraulic cement can be used to patch over the areas before the pool is plastered.

Is it Ok for home concrete foundation wall rebar be exposed to the outside elements?

No. Exposure will allow the bar to rust. The rust will travel through the bar over time, not stay isolated to just the exposed area. Over time the rust could compromise the integrity of the bar and cause failure. As to the rate this happens, it is based of the amount of exposure and conditions it is in.
