Best way to seal expansion joints in your concrete
Hey folks, it's Home Inspector Dan here from "Home Inspector Dan"! Today, we're diving into a crucial topic for maintaining the integrity of your home's joints. Expansion joints play a vital role in allowing materials to expand and contract due to temperature changes without causing damage. However, without proper sealing, these joints can become susceptible to water infiltration, which could lead to structural issues down the line. That's where self-leveling sealant and backer rod come in.
Backer rod – a flexible foam rod that provides a stable base for the sealant. Once the backer rod is in place, we'll move on to the application of self-leveling sealant.
By following these steps, you'll not only enhance the longevity of your home's joints but also prevent potential water damage and costly repairs. If you're a homeowner or even a DIY enthusiast, this is information you won't want to miss.
Thanks for tuning in to "Home Inspector Dan"
