At Sweeney’s Pavement Maintenance, we lay out new pavement and do joint widening. What is joint widening? Joint widening is when our company makes sure that concrete slabs on public walkways and roads are up to date. The joint widening will help to prevent the early shrinking of slabs in public areas. We are able to do two kinds of joint widening, one being sealed and being filled. Joint widening will stop the spread of uncontrolled movement within the slabs, protecting the slabs better against debris, moisture, and dirt seeping through and damaging the slab further.

With joint widening, the type depends on what you need joint widening for. A filled widening is needed if the concrete needs to be driven on. The filled is able to take some compressed weight. Sealed joint widening is for areas where there is no heavy compression. How long does it take to for the new joint to settle? The joint is complete as soon as it is installed. Joint widening projects do not take a lot of time. The team at Sweeney’s Pavement Maintenance will get the job done for you quickly and efficiently.
