Expansion Joint Repair

What is Compression Guard?

Compression Guard is an expansion joint used to alleviate pressure caused by concrete slabs pushing against one another, sometimes known as “street creep.” CompressionGuard comes in 10-foot sections that can be cut or fused together to fit any length. CompressionGuard is a preventative measure that protects your concrete slabs before they crack and sink due to movement toward other slabs.

Why You Need Compression Guard

As temperatures change, added moisture causes soil to move. This movement shifts concrete slabs poured on the soil. CompressionGuard relieves this slab-to-slab pressure and can even stop slab-to-foundation pressure that protects your home.
