Waterproofing of Expansion Joints

Waterproofing expansion joints is crucial for maintaining the integrity of a structure and preventing water infiltration in areas that are vulnerable to movement. Expansion joints are designed to absorb the expansion and contraction of building materials due to temperature changes, seismic activity, or other factors. The primary purpose of waterproofing expansion joints is to create a barrier against water penetration. Water can be a significant threat to building materials, leading to deterioration, corrosion, and damage. Waterproofing ensures that these vulnerable areas are sealed, preventing water from entering the structure.
