Professional Expansion Joint Services in Fort Myers, FL

While they are an often overlooked aspect, expansion joints are an important part of concrete that cannot be neglected

Expansion Joints: What Are and Why Are They Important?

Concrete expansion joints are intentional gaps or spaces between concrete slabs that facilitate concrete’s natural expansion and contraction. As a porous substance, concrete expands with water absorption. Other factors, such as temperature fluctuation or invasive roots, can cause concrete to shift or expand as well.

Without expansion joints, concrete’s movement can cause serious damage, like cracking. Expansion joints also play a significant role in distributing pressure and reducing overall stress on the concrete. In all, they are an effective tool to improve the longevity and durability of your concrete surfaces

JDL Surface Innovations’ expansion joint service extends the lifespan of your concrete and protects its structural integrity.

Polymer-based joints are excellent solutions because they are durable and high-strength. Epoxy, in particular, offers superior moisture protection, and it stops plants from growing between slabs. Other commonly used materials include neoprene rubber, silicone, or polyurethane sealants, as they are cost-effective, strong, and will not rot or rust.

Benefits of Professional Expansion Joint Installation

Reduced Cracking

Expansion caused by temperature fluctuation and water absorption can cause cracks in concrete. These are unsightly and costly to repair, but expansion joints allow for expansion to happen while minimizing the risk of damage to the structure.

Improved Appearance

Small finishing details go a long way in giving the concrete a finished and professional appearance. New expansion joints aid in creating a high-end, clean look to commercial spaces, walkways, or driveways.

Enhanced Safety

Damaged concrete is a tripping hazard in high-traffic areas. Avoiding cracks and uneven surfaces improves the safety of your facility and helps prevent accidents.

Return on Investment

Though installing new concrete expansion joints has an upfront cost, they’re a great return on investment because they protect your concrete slabs from potential damage and dramatically increase their lifespan. In the long run, you’ll prevent expensive repairs and premature concrete replacement.

Customer Reviews

See what others are saying about us.

Most recently JDL completed a Statewide Save A Lot meat complex renovation with us. They were there when they said thy would be, did excellent work, cleaned up after themselves and maintained a professional manner throughout the entire project.

I have personally managed thousands of projects cross country in the retail industry and know how hard it is to find a subcontractor that can stand behind their word, product and performance, JDL Surface Innovations and their crews have impressed me and my clients over and over again.

JDL worked weekends and some late nights to keep on schedule which they did and never complained. Your onsite staff was very courteous and easy to work with. The punch list had touch up the epoxy floor were someone had mistakenly walked through it before it was dry and JDL came back and touched up the floors with no questions asked.

We would certainly look to JDL again for the above described floor needs in the future.

JDL has worked with us on several projects and recently completed the Bokamper’s Sports Bar & Grill in Estero, Florida. The epoxy flooring work they performed on this project has received numerous compliments from both the patrons and owners of the business.
