Professional Concrete Filling
Concrete filling is most certainly something to take advantage of. Over time all concrete slabs will expand and contract, and this causes cracks. No matter whether it's a concrete driveway, patio, pool, or porch you're dealing with, you most certainly don't want your concrete to fall into disrepair.
And so, to increase the lifespan of your concrete, we're almost sure that joint filling will be necessary at some stage of your concrete's life. The reason we know this is because your concrete's control joints will eventually widen over time. If they are not filled at this stage, they will start accumulating dirt, debris, moisture, and – with heavy traffic – they will eventually degrade over time.
Don't let your concrete deteriorate. Keep an eye on your joints and call in the experts to do any necessary filling when need be. By repairing and maintaining your concrete, you'll avoid substantial problems over time.
About The Joint Filling Process
Control joints are added to concrete slabs to stop them from cracking randomly across your paving during the shrinking process. The majority of shrinking occurs within the first 90 days of your concrete’s life and throughout the first year.
After 90 days, it is recommended to fill the joint. The filling itself is done with a material that has enough strength to match the durability of the concrete. This way, it will endure heavy traffic and wear and tear.
A joint – if not filled – is an easy entry point for water. And you know that controlling the amount of moisture that penetrates your concrete is vital. If not filled or sealed, you will see a negative impact on the adjacent concrete slabs and even your concrete base.
