Expansion joint repairs
Expansion joints are a necessary, often overlooked element of any major construction, from prefab and apartment buildings to administrative and industrial buildings. Their primary function is allow the natural movement of the structure, which is caused by temperature changes, settlement of foundations, humidity or dynamic influences. It is this movement that prevents unwanted cracks and damage. However, if they are expansion joints damaged or dysfunctional, they lose their protective role and open the door to serious problems with the entire building.

Why is a functional expansion joint so important?
A damaged expansion joint is not just an aesthetic problem. It can have far-reaching and costly consequences for the entire structure. The most common risks include:
Penetration of water and moisture: Leaky joints are a direct path for water into the interior and structure. This leads to wetting of the masonry, formation of mold, corrosion of fittings and gradual degradation of building materials.
Formation and propagation of cracks: If the structure cannot move freely, tension occurs, which is manifested by the formation of cracks in the masonry, facade, ceilings and floors.
Deterioration of insulating properties: Moisture in the masonry significantly reduces the thermal insulation capabilities of the outer shell, which will result in higher heating costs.
Static Hazards: Long-term disruption of expansion joints can in extreme cases lead to disruption of the statics and stability of the entire building, which requires complex and very expensive rehabilitation of expansion joints.
Our comprehensive solution for expansion joint repairs
As specialists in work at height we are able to perform efficiently and safely repair of expansion joints at any place and at any height, viz throughout the Czech Republic. We offer comprehensive services from detailed diagnostics to final application, always with an emphasis on precision and long service life of the repair.
Detailed diagnostics and condition assessment: Before we get to work, we do a thorough inspection inspection of expansion joints, to accurately determine the extent and cause of the damage. This will allow us to design the most suitable procedure and select the optimal materials for the type of structure and environment.
Thorough preparation and cleaning: The basis of a permanent repair is the precise preparation of the substrate. Old, degraded or hardened gaskets and all dirt are carefully removed from the entire length of the joint. The following is thorough cleaning expansion joints, drying and treatment with a penetrating coating to ensure maximum adhesion of the new sealant.
Application of modern expansion materials: We use only high-quality, permanently elastic materials that are resistant to UV radiation, temperature fluctuations, water and chemicals. We apply professional expansion sealants (e.g. polyurethane, MS polymers) and insert expansion profiles (e.g. from EPDM, PVC, rubber), which reliably absorb the movement of the structure and protect it from external influences. We also specialize in waterproofing of expansion joints, to prevent any water ingress.
