Sealant and Joint Systems

Joint Sealants/Caulking and Joint Systems  

Joint sealant and joint repair is an important part of any commercial building, facility or installation. They are designed to join two different materials or surfaces, and control wind, water, moisture and debris entry or accumulation.

At Houck, we have years of experience in joint sealants/caulking and joint systems, and we know exactly which method and material to apply. In some cases, you need a flexible joint with some give, while at other times something more firm and solid is required to resist damage. We will assess your commercial sealant installation and propose the best solution every time, taking into account three important factors that reinforce one of our mottos: Safety. Quality. Performance.

As a trusted name in joint sealants/caulking and joint systems based in Harrisburg and servicing Lancaster, York and the mid-Atlantic region, Houck will take care of the three major areas of joining:

Commercial Joint Sealants 

Joint sealants serve a vital purpose — to seal the gaps in between building materials. By filling in the spaces between substrates, sealants keep moisture from slowly decaying your building materials and prevent air from seeping into or out of your facility’s interior, wasting precious heat and energy. Through rain, snow and sleet, they keep the elements from penetrating your building.

Sealants also allow slight limited movement to your facility — an essential feature in some buildings. Areas prone to expansion and contraction due to temperature swings require sealants to allow this natural movement.

Clearly, joint sealants are a critical part of your commercial facility’s construction.

However, not all contractors are equipped to repair commercial joint sealants and joint systems. Commercial buildings, facilities, and surfaces require special care and attention with respect to durability and installation. Your building’s materials are one of the main contributors in its protection, so repairing them properly is vital. The process demands precision as craftspeople remove the worn control joints, install new backer rods and seal the joints with the proper amount of sealant.

Houck has the commercial caulking expertise to tackle even the most complicated and difficult jobs, and we can propose solutions for every set of caulking and joint sealant requirements. We propose long-term, high-quality solutions and provide comprehensive estimates to give you the information you need to make an informed choice. Whether you need joint sealants for new construction projects or repair of an existing building, Houck offers the decades of expertise necessary to expertly handle your commercial tasks.

Expansion joints allow expansion and contraction between two different surfaces or materials. This protects the materials themselves from cracking over time. However, the process obviously puts a large degree of stress on the joint, especially in large, heavy-duty commercial applications. The materials then start to crack through the years as the temperature changes, and they may fail prematurely if the building’s original engineers neglected to plan for temperature fluctuations or used the wrong materials.

Repairing any failures in your commercial expansion joints as quickly as possible is essential. Failing to repair these cracks can lead to more cracks in the joints as well as in the material itself. Cracked joints can also present a safety hazard. If a piece of machinery such as a forklift runs across the failed joint, it can jolt both its driver and the load it’s carrying, leading to possible bodily injuries or damaged goods.
