Why Concrete Joint Sealing Matters
Concrete joint sealing is very important for keeping pavements in good shape. It helps make concrete surfaces last longer and stay strong. Expansion joints are gaps made in concrete slabs. They let the concrete expand and contract when temperature fluctuations occur. If these joints are left unsealed or poorly sealed, they become vulnerable to:
Water Infiltration
Moisture enters the slab, leading to erosion, freeze-thaw damage, and corrosion of embedded reinforcement.
Debris Accumulation
Dirt and stones can fill open joints, restricting movement and causing random cracking.
Structural Weakness
Over time, unsealed joints can compromise the integrity of concrete surfaces.
Joint sealing protects your investment by lowering the chances of expensive repairs later. By taking care of these weak spots, you can make your concrete surfaces last longer and keep them strong.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does concrete joint sealing last?
The lifespan of joint sealant for concrete can change based on things like how much traffic there is, the weather, and the quality of the sealant. Usually, when a professional applies it, the sealant lasts about 5 to 10 years. Doing regular maintenance and fixing concrete cracks quickly can make the sealant last longer. This helps keep your concrete surfaces in good shape.
What happens if I don't seal concrete joints?
Unsealed joints in concrete can let water, dirt, and debris in, causing many issues. For example, you might see cracks in the concrete, weeds growing, pests coming, and soil damage under the slab. In the end, this will lead to expensive repairs and make your concrete surfaces wear out faster.
Is joint sealing necessary for new concrete?
Yes, joint sealing is very important for new concrete. When the concrete slab is still fresh, using a sealant during the building process helps protect it right away. This can make the slab last longer and helps lower the chances of damage later on.
What kind of sealants do you use?
We use top-quality polyurethane joint sealants and crack fillers from trusted brands. These strong coatings are selected because they last long, can bend easily, and resist different weather conditions. We choose the right sealant by considering the joint width, where it is located, and what your concrete surfaces need.
