Control joint sealing in concrete slabs

Saw cuts (control joints) direct cracking in concrete slabs. Left open, they collect debris and moisture, and their edges spall under traffic. We clean and seal them to protect the slab, in Montréal and across Québec.

Services

Where we work

Warehouses and plants

Slabs subject to forklift and pallet jack traffic.

New slabs

Sealing after the concrete has cured, per the specifications and manufacturer recommendations.

Existing slabs

Joint cleaning, removal of old product and new sealing.

The right product for the right slab

The product depends on how the slab is used: a semi-rigid filler supports the edges where hard wheels travel, while a more flexible sealant suits slabs that move more.

We follow the specifications and manufacturer recommendations, and we coordinate the timing of sealing with the general contractor.

  • Joints thoroughly cleaned before sealing.
  • Flush finish, without smears.
  • Work on new or existing slabs.
  • Work supervised by our superintendent and foremen.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions

Why seal control joints?

To keep debris and water out and to support the joint edges. An unsupported edge spalls under wheels, which wears equipment and forces repairs.

When should they be sealed?

Once the concrete has cured sufficiently, per the specifications and the product manufacturer’s recommendations. We coordinate the timing with the general contractor.

Can you redo existing joints?

Yes. We remove the old product, clean the joint and install a new seal.
