Our Joint Sealants Protect You from the Elements
An expansion joint is an intersection where two building elements meet to prevent the elements from applying static load to each other. These assemblies enable the building to safely expand and contract in shifting temperatures. As the seasons change, it’s normal for concrete, walls, or other materials to expand and contract.
There are three ways joints can move: expansion, contraction, and shear. Expansion joints also enable the structure to move, absorbing vibrations caused by ground settlement or earthquakes. The latter is especially important in Northern California.
Waterproofing Made Easy
When joints become damaged, buildings become damaged. Failed sealant joints can leak, letting water and air seep in, and conditioned air seep out. That’s why you need a qualified joint sealant contractor to fortify your building’s sealant joints. Rainbow can properly apply sealant joints that last to prevent costly and disruptive water intrusion and avoid expensive premature replacement costs.
