Home Services Concrete Crack Repair and Joint Sealant Control Joints and Expansion Joints Control And Expansion Joint Repair In Central Ohio and Cleveland What Are Control And Expansion Joints? Two rarely talked about, but essential concrete sections are control and expansion joints. The first, called control joints, are sections cut into a slab shortly after pouring and are designed to control cracking as the slab cures. Meanwhile, expansion joints are a gap between two concrete slabs filled with a compressible material like fiberboard. This material allows the slabs to move freely from each other without causing structural damage. What Causes Damage In These Joints? By design, control joints allow for controlled cracking as concrete slabs freeze and thaw during weather cycles. This process also affects expansion joints, which causes the material in the expansion joint (such as fiberboard) to degrade.

They do exactly what they say they’re going to do! Great job Rodney Thompson 2022-11-16 SmartLevel concrete did a very good job on our leveling project. Technicians Chris and DeAndre arrived at their scheduled time and gave a brief overview of work to be done. They leveled steps and portions of our driveway and sidewalk. There was even some structural issues they pointed out once the process was completed. I have since recommended them to others for similar projects. Maxine Ryal 2022-11-14 Chris and Brian called to let us know they were on their way. They power washed our garage, entry steps, and all sidewalks. They leveled all surfaces as much as possible around our 30 year old house. They filled all existing cracks with a substance that matches the rest of the concrete so they’re less noticeable. On hands and knees, Chris filled every seam between sidewalk and driveway slabs. I’m amazed that the seams are so even. The also sealed all surfaces with a spray which works to prevent water from being absorbed by the concrete. The results of all their hard work are amazing.
