Jacaranda Construction Joints Repairs
Specialized construction joint repairs for residential property
The Challenge
Systematic failure of construction joints throughout the concrete slab from inadequate sealant specification caused joint separation and water infiltration. Visible moisture staining affected $25,000+ in finished timber flooring and internal walls. Traditional joint replacement requiring complete slab section removal would cost $120,000+ and force 6-week family evacuation. The homeowner's upcoming international relocation in 8 weeks required completed repairs and structural certification before property sale settlement. Premium construction quality demanded repair solutions matching high-end finish standards.
Our Solution
We deployed specialized construction joint repair using advanced polyurethane sealant systems engineered for high-movement joints. Complete removal of failed sealant, thorough industrial vacuum cleaning, and precise application of premium-grade flexible polyurethane designed for ±12mm joint movement tolerance. Bond-breaker tape installation ensured proper three-sided adhesion preventing cohesive failure. All joints were tooled to optimal concave profiles maximizing water-shedding performance. The single-day intensive approach concentrated remediation into one efficient timeline with just 24-hour family evacuation.
Results
The specialized repairs eliminated all water infiltration with zero ongoing ingress confirmed by moisture testing 30 days post-completion. Thermal expansion testing demonstrated full joint movement capability within ±12mm tolerance specifications. The single-day completion allowed minimal family disruption, avoiding temporary accommodation costs. The $18,000 solution saved 85% versus the $120,000 slab reconstruction alternative. Property sale proceeded on original schedule with full structural certification supporting settlement. The upgraded joint system's superior specifications added $15,000 to final sale price.
