Sealing an expansion joint between walls
This project concerns an expansion joint between wall structures. The documented work includes surface cleaning, opening and filling the joint with thixotropic repair mortar, and bonding an elastic waterproofing tape. The photographs show the same section of joint before and after repair.
The photographs show the area before and after the listed work. The solution for another property depends on its condition and operating environment.
Work completed
- Cleaning and preparation of wall surfaces
- Opening up and filling the expansion joint between wall sections with a thixotropic repair compound
- Bonding a flexible waterproofing tape
For a similar property
This joint repair included surface preparation and bonding an elastic waterproofing tape. The listed operations apply to the area shown. A different joint requires its geometry, edge condition, expected movement and water exposure to be considered separately.
- How long and wide is the joint, where is it located, and is it accessible from both sides?
- What was used before, and what is the condition of the edges and surrounding surface?
- Is there information about movement and when water appears?
