01 / CONCRETE
Control & Expansion Joints
Horizontal concrete joints evaluated for movement, width, depth, traffic, water exposure, and the condition of the surrounding concrete.
Match the material to the joint
Sealant is a system—not a tube and a trigger
A durable joint starts with removal, cleaning, geometry, depth control, compatible material, and the conditions during installation. Covering failed sealant or filling an unprepared joint usually creates a short-lived repair.
02 / HORIZONTAL
Self-Leveling Sealant
Flowable sealant applications for properly prepared horizontal joints where slope, joint geometry, and manufacturer requirements support the system.
03 / VERTICAL
Non-Sag Sealant
Tooled sealant for vertical faces, curbs, walls, transitions, and sloped joints where the material must hold its profile during cure.
04 / PREPARATION
Failed Sealant Removal
Removal of loose, split, hardened, contaminated, or poorly bonded material before the joint is cleaned and prepared for compatible replacement.
05 / DEPTH CONTROL
Backer Rod & Joint Geometry
Backer rod and depth control used where appropriate to establish the sealant profile, support movement, and prevent three-sided adhesion.
06 / ASPHALT
Asphalt Crack Sealing
Prepared asphalt cracks sealed to reduce water entry and slow deterioration, with failed pavement separated from maintenance-level cracking before pricing.
The work underneath controls the result
Preparation before product
Joint condition determines the scope. Dirt, moisture, old material, weak edges, excessive movement, and incorrect depth can prevent a new sealant from performing—even when the product itself is appropriate.
Alliance Paving documents the existing condition, separates maintenance from structural failure, and builds the scope around the substrate and the environment.
Curing note: Sealant can constrict and settle while curing. The final appearance depends on joint geometry, movement, temperature, moisture, depth, and the condition of the surrounding material. Structural movement or substrate failure is not corrected by sealant alone.
01. Inspect the joint
Document dimensions, movement, failed material, surrounding damage, traffic, water, slope, and access.
02. Remove failed material
Cut, scrape, or extract loose and incompatible material without treating unsound edges as a finished substrate.
03. Clean and prepare
Clean the joint and establish the profile required for the approved material and installation conditions.
04. Control depth
Install backer rod or other approved depth control where required for the joint design.
05. Install and protect the cure
Apply the selected material, tool where required, and control traffic and exposure through the specified cure period.
Commercial joints and pavement cracks
Send the joint condition—not just the total footage.
Clear close-ups, wider context photos, approximate linear footage, joint width, property address, and traffic conditions help us separate simple resealing from a deeper concrete or pavement problem.
