Joint Repair
Concrete Joint Repair Services
Concrete joints are critical to the health of your slab, and acting fast when they show signs of damage can save you from needing a total replacement. Trust Concrete Fusion to assess the damage and make a lasting repair for your concrete joints in any space!
How We Work
We accurately measure the movement of your floor joints down to thousandths of an inch. Detecting movement greater than 0.02 inches (as specified by ACI 360-R16) can help prevent more costly damage before it begins.
Nearly all interior floor slabs have saw-cut, control, and construction joints. Over time, heavy loads from equipment like forklifts and pallet jacks can cause the edges of these joints to break and spall, leading to worsening damage. Proper cleaning, preparation, and filling of these joints with a joint filler can significantly reduce or eliminate this deterioration.
Concrete Fusion offers several joint repair services, including:
- Joint Rebuild
- Curled Slab Restoration
- Joint Sawing
- Floor Slab and Joint Stabilization
- Crack Repair

What Are Concrete Joints?
Concrete joints are crucial for managing the behavior of concrete slabs, ensuring their durability, and extending their lifespan. At Concrete Fusion, we specialize in maintaining and repairing various concrete joints, including saw-cut control joints, construction joints, and expansion joints.
Here’s a breakdown of these joint types and why proper filling and repair are essential:
Saw-Cut Control Joints
Saw-cut control joints are intentional cuts made in the concrete to control where cracks will occur due to shrinkage. Typically installed at regular intervals shortly after the concrete is poured and begins to set, these joints help manage the natural expansion and contraction of concrete, ensuring cracks happen in a controlled and visually acceptable way.
Key Benefits:
- Crack Prevention: Directs where the slab will crack, preventing random cracking.
- Structural Integrity: Helps maintain the strength and appearance of the concrete slab.
- Efficient Installation: Can be quickly and accurately cut with specialized saws.
Construction Joints
Construction joints are positioned where two consecutive concrete pours meet. These joints are vital for maintaining the integrity of large concrete surfaces that can’t be completed in a single pour. Properly filled and sealed construction joints prevent water infiltration and ensure the slab’s structural continuity.
Key Benefits:
- Structural Continuity: Maintains the structural integrity between different concrete pours.
- Water Resistance: Prevents water from seeping in, reducing the risk of damage.
- Flexibility: Allows for multiple pours without compromising the floor’s overall strength.
Expansion Joints
Expansion joints accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of concrete due to temperature changes. Placed at regular intervals and near structures that might limit movement, such as walls or columns, these joints prevent cracks and structural damage by allowing space for the concrete to move.
Key Benefits:
- Accommodates Movement: Permits the concrete to expand and contract without damage.
- Prevents Cracking: Reduces the risk of cracking from temperature changes.
- Protects Structures: Shields adjacent structures from stress and potential damage.
At Concrete Fusion, we understand the critical role these joints play in your concrete flooring system. Trust us for professional joint maintenance and repair to ensure the longevity and durability of your concrete surfaces.
