Concrete cracking is a concern for all home owners and should be addressed immediately. CCCS will remove any debris and grind a smooth v-groove with diamond coated crack chasing blades. We then clean and pack the deep crevice with packing sand or closed cell PE foam backer rod. The most important component is the flexible polyurethane construction sealant specifically designed for concrete and masonry applications. This aggressive exterior caulk is waterproof and will be ready for heavy traffic loads in 24 hrs. A final coat of fine finishing sand helps to visually blend the reapir with the existing concrete.

Expansion joint sealing or caulking is needed for many reasons. The most common applications comes from a repair. In most cases when a lift is performed the expansion joints have become exposed and need to be sealed to prevent any future damage. Watershed will seep into the gaps and either flush out material underneath the concrete and create a void, or freeze and crack leading to expensive repairs and replacements. The flexible polyurethane caulking specifically designed for masonry applications allows the slabs to move and shift with out comprimising the seal. 

Concrete Damage Can Be Ugly. And Costly!
Salt, water and other chemicals get into the pores and break down concrete. Traffic and wind-borne debris erode it. Rust and oxidation break the structure from within. Freeze/Thaw cycles break the surface.These are some of the biggest enemies of concrete, and create the problems you see here.

After spending thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, on concrete for your home or facility, you wind up spending thousands more in repair or replacement. Even if you are sealing, you may not be getting the protection you need.

Yes, concrete is durable. It is the oldest known construction material, and for good reason.  It lasts!
But it is not invulnerable to the havoc and destruction caused by weather- wind, rain, ice, freezing and thawing cycles, can all wear and erode this hard material.
And, if you are in a cold climate, the salts and chemicals we use to de-ice our roads and walkways are an internal nightmare to the very composition of concrete. Turns out, concrete is not as permanent as we would like it to be... Unless you mix and pour it properly, cure it properly, and protect it properly.
That's where we come in. Our products can extend the life of your concrete, harden and densify it, keep the water and salts from destroying it, and keep it looking good for decades longer than going without any protection

Whether you are cleaning concrete, brick, pavers, or asphalt driveways, the surface is porous and gets dirty easily. Your tires bring grease, oil, dirt, and all kinds of grime (even road kill) home to your driveway, so you want to clean it, but you’re tired of spending your whole Saturday working on your driveway with a hose, right? Well, we get it.

CCCS can help make your driveway, sidewalk, deck, fence, and play set look like new again. The busiest time for pressure washing is typically after pollen season in order to wash away the film of yellow, but you certainly can wash away the slippery green algae and destructive black mold any time of year.

Caulking fills gaps and cracks to keep air, water, rodents and bugs out of your home. Caulking is typically done around windows, doors, pipes, plumbing and wherever there's a break in siding. 

  Caulk can refer either to the caulking substance or to the process of applying it. Caulking as a term has spread to the building trade, meaning the activity of closing up joints and gaps in buildings. The function of caulking is to provide thermal insulation, control water penetration and noise mitigation.

  This is mostly done with ready-mixed construction chemicals sold as caulk such as silicone, polyurethane, polysulfide, sylil-terminated-polyether or polyurethane and acrylic sealant. Unlike construction caulk, which is applied where no building movement is expected, a sealant is made of elastomeric materials that typically allow movement of 25% to 50% of the width of the joint.

According to the Consumer Federation of America, sealing unwanted leaks around homes is an excellent way to cut home energy costs and decrease the household carbon footprint.

Also, sealing cracks and crevices around homes puts less strain on home appliances and can save time, money and hassle by preventing major repairs. Additionally, increasing the lifetime of homes and appliances also puts less waste and pollution into landfills.

CCCS uses many different materials and depending on the job here are few examples of the most common industrial products. 

Concrete Construction Sealant: One Part Polyurethane, Elastomeric  Sealant/Adhesive Self leveling and Non-Sag

A premium-grade, high-performance, moisture-cured, 1-component, polyurethane-based, non-sag elastomeric sealant. Meets Federal specification TT-S-00230C, Type II, Class A. Meets ASTMC-920, Type S, Grade NS, Class 35, use T, NT, O, M, G, I; Canadian standard CAN/CGSB 19.13-M87.

Backer Rod:

Backer rod, also called backer material or back-up rod, is a flexible foam product used behind caulking to increase elasticity, reduce consumption, force the caulking into contact with the sides of the joint creating a better bond, determine the thickness of the caulking, and define the cross-section hour-glass shape of the caulk. The backer rod also acts as a bond breaker to keep the caulking from sticking to the bottom of the opening called a three-sided bond; with the caulking only adhering to the sides of the opening in an hour-glass shape it can flex more easily and is less likely to tear. Backer rods can also be used to reduce consumption of the caulking by filling part of the joints.

Concrete sealer:

Concrete sealers are applied to concrete to protect it from surface damage, corrosion, and staining. They either block the pores in the concrete to reduce absorption of water and salts or form an impermeable layer which prevents such materials from passing.

Research from major concrete authorities, including American Concrete Institute, Portland Cement Association, and National Ready Mix Concrete Association; confirm that most concrete damage is attributable to surface moisture intrusion. The most pervasive form of concrete damage is surface scaling from freeze/thaw. Other forms of damage include alkali-silica reaction (ASR), chemical intrusion, and corrosion of steel reinforcements.
