Concrete Expansion Joint and Crack Filler

Proper concrete expansion joint and crack filling helps to protect your driveway or walkway from soil erosion, prolonging the need for replacement or repairs down the road. At Baird Foundation Repair, we NexusPro®, a silicone-based crack and joint sealer developed by Supportworks.  

When we install NexusPro®, we prepare and clean the concrete cracks, insert the product and then finish it off with native sand to give the whole surface a clean, finished look.  

Protect Your Concrete from Soil Erosion with NexusPro® 

NexusPro® is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially engineered to provide long-lasting flexibility and will keep moisture from seeping beneath your concrete, where it can cause further problems.  

Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro® resists UV rays, which means it won’t crack, bubble or dry, standing up to harsh weather conditions. It fits into homeowners’ busy lifestyles, too — drying time is a fraction of that needed for other urethane-based caulking products. 

NexusPro® System Advantages 

  • Highly flexible material. 
  • Quick application and drying time. 
  • Seals cracks and joints from water infiltration. 
  • UV-resistant to prevent drying, cracking, bubbling or yellowing. 
  • Professional installation ensures clean look. 
  • Proven to last over 20 years-more than twice as long as traditional urethane-based sealants. 

Why is Water Bad For Your Concrete? 

Soil beneath your concrete driveway, sidewalk, stoop, patio, pool deck, or garage slab can soften or erode as surface water runs through open cracks and joints. When water infiltrates these areas, it can wash away the underlying soil, creating voids and weakening the foundation that supports the concrete. Over time, this leads to significant issues, as the weakened soils and voids allow the concrete to shift and settle unevenly. This process results in cracked, uneven surfaces that not only detract from the appearance of your property but also pose potential safety hazards. Furthermore, the shifting and settling of concrete can cause more extensive structural damage if left unaddressed. Proper maintenance, including sealing cracks and ensuring effective drainage, is crucial to preventing soil erosion and maintaining the stability and longevity of your concrete surfaces.
