Expansion Joint Filling Services
Control joint repair is essential for maintaining the durability and safety of concrete surfaces. Over time, concrete slabs naturally expand and contract due to temperature and humidity changes. Control joints or expansion joints are designed to accommodate this movement and prevent cracking. Proper joint filler repair protects the edges of these joints, ensuring they can handle the weight of heavy equipment and machinery.
Concrete joint damage, especially along slab edges, is a common issue that starts as a cosmetic problem but can escalate into serious structural concerns if neglected. Damaged control joints accelerate surface deterioration, increase the risk of equipment and vehicle damage, and lead to surface spalling. In severe cases, ignoring joint issues can result in costly structural rebuilds. Proactive maintenance is key to avoiding these expensive repairs.

Process
Our Joint Repair and Filling Process
- Grinding the joints: Removing deteriorated concrete, old coatings, and debris.
- Rebuilding the joints: Using epoxy mortar to create a smooth, level surface.
- Re-cutting the control joint: Ensuring precise cuts once the mortar is fully dry.
- Applying control joint filler: Installing flexible polyurethane filler flush with the slab to allow for future movement and prevent open edges.
- Optional resealing: Resealing surrounding repaired concrete as needed.
