When there are first installed concrete driveways can be absolutely gorgeous, but over time they fall victim to serious problems. They can become cracked, dirty, and downright ugly to look at. The problem that we are focusing on today is the rotted wood that is often found right between the slabs. The wood was initially used to create the ‘formwork’, defining the size and shape of each concrete slab. Once the concrete dried, it was left there to work as an expansion joint, ensuring that the slab was able to move adequately during the summertime. This, however, does not work well as an expansion joint. Instead, you may want to consider a concrete joint filler.
Pick up the Slack with a Concrete Joint Filler
One of the biggest problems is that the formwork can be attacked by bacteria, ultimately causing it to rot and break down. You will see gaps open, allowing dirt and roots to pass through. Eventually, that formwork will start to look more like soil. A concrete joint filler can change the game entirely as they are not only durable and flexible, they are resistant to the bacteria that can easily destroy a wood filler.
