Concrete Expansion Joints in Phoenix, Tucson & Nearby

Prevent cracked concrete & foundation damage with CompressionGuard

CompressionGuard absorbs the pressure created by expanding and contracting concrete slabs.

As temperatures fluctuate throughout the year, concrete naturally expands and contracts. This continuous force from roads and driveways pushes concrete slabs together, causing tremendous pressure that can lead to cracked concrete driveways and garage floors, as well as foundation damage.

That is why Arizona Foundation Solutions recommends replacing the fiberboard expansion joints used in most residential driveways with our engineered expansion joint system, CompressionGuard. CompressionGuard flexes to absorb the pressure of concrete movement and prevents long-term damage to the foundation, driveways, and garage floors.

How CompressionGuard prevents foundation damage

We replace existing fiberboard expansion joints in driveways with CompressionGuard, an engineered expansion joint that flexes to absorb expanding concrete.

Arizona Foundation Solutions recommends CompressionGuard to prevent cracked concrete and foundation damage caused by slab-to-slab pressure. This 4"x4" engineered thermoplastic expansion joint is placed in the concrete joint between slabs. Once installed, this system protects the slabs from damage as they naturally contract and expand during temperature fluctuations.

As an exclusive Supportworks designed system, CompressionGuard is proven effective and is currently being used by hundreds of foundation contractors across the United States and Canada. Our system exceeds the capabilities of traditional asphalt-infused fiberboard, which is commonly found in concrete driveways. CompressionGuard is also compatible with the PolyLevel® concrete leveling system.

Benefits of the CompressionGuard System:

• Environmentally friendly
• Cost-effective
• Quick, non-invasive installation
• Can be installed all-year-round
• Flush design with professional installation to add curb appeal
• Driveway ready to use right after installation

Installing the CompressionGuard System

CompressionGuard can be professionally installed all year round, is non-invasive, and ready to use right after the job is done.

1. Determine a design location: Our professionals install the CompressionGuard System at an existing concrete seam or joint. There may be a few options. So the Foreman will determine the installation location with the homeowner.
2. Cut a trench in the driveway: The crew measures a portion of concrete to remove, then cuts a small trench at a specified location to make space for the CompressionGuard.
3. Cut the CompressionGuard to size: The product comes in 10-ft sections that can fit any length. The concrete slab is measured, then the product is cut to size and fused to ensure a successful bond.
4. Place CompressionGuard in the trench: The crew uses tools to fit the product into the trench along the length of the driveway. There is minimal disruption to existing concrete throughout the installation.
5. Clean the work area: Once the crew assures that the system is installed level with the concrete, they clean up the work area.
