My driveway has sunk near the house causing large gaps . I am planning to hire a company to raise the concrete with polyurethane jack . I still think your product could work, however it would be very expensive .
It is an inherent design flaw if all these types of materials. As ug us forced into the joint the “ fibs are forced upward which iin turn forces the product in,out if the joint during thermal cycling.
@@jefflundquist5771It has nothing to do with the joint being tapered or uneven. It has to do with thermal cycling. ( though a tapered joint might magnify the flaw)As the joint expands and contracts the product moves up and down in the joint. All you have to do is look at the mock up in the first minute of the video to see that the force applied to the sides of the “ fins” is both horizontal and vertical . I have seen it many times. Look at some of the other comments,there are others that have seen this too. It just happens that the business I am in is waterproofing. We deal with expansion joints every day. And we are often called to repair these types of “ joint fillers” because they are either pushing out of the joint continuously or sinking into the joint. Or both.
5 -7 -20, I just completed my third time of installing the product. It does work as easy as stated when installing it. Mine were easy replacing old cedar left in the joints over 30 yrs ago, I rate this as 5 out of 5 Ken. Plano, TX
@@mromblad No, my 3rd time to use it. Sorry I didn't state that very well. I've been doing driveways and sidewalks at different times. The Product is great. Very easy to use.
Will this work on patio applications, with a deck material of pea gravel? The expansion wood pieces are old and starting to disappear, and I need a solution. Thanks!!!
Why don’t you tell them about the glaring design flaw? The problem with all if these cheap products that press into the joint is , because as you press the material into the joint it forces the “ fins” upward , that upward force in turn forces the product out of the joint during thermal cycling.. unless you live in cold climates where the joint opens up too much then it just sinks in. It is a simple fact that cannot be eliminated. Totally flawed design. I have seen it hundreds of times with these types of “ push in solutions. The only one that works satisfactory is emseal which bonds to the joint sides.And is very costly because it us a quality product. Not trash. On the bright side when the homeowner gets tired of continually trying to adjust your product it ud very easy to remove and install sealant. Ask me how I know. Spoiler I have replaced miles of these types of products. They all have the same design flaw
Sounds like sour grapes from being replaced by a cheap alternative...sealant has it's own problems and looks crappy most of the time...even on commercial jobs. Beats rotting, dirty, weed ridden wood joints and any homeowner who can't figure out a workaround deserves to be fleeced...lol
Im guessing, no it would not. I am actually going to install it with the idea to prevent mine from becoming unlevel. Every hurricane and thunder storm worries me as I watch the water going everywhere. I'm going to use it to minimize water impacting my concrete joints.
