At Bricklayerpro, we specialize in the precise and efficient installation of precast concrete elements, with a focused expertise on managing and sealing precast installation crevices. These critical joints are often overlooked in the early planning stages but play a major role in the structural integrity, weatherproofing, and long-term performance of any precast structure.
Precast installation crevices, or joints, are the narrow gaps that form between adjacent precast components during assembly. These crevices are inherent to the precast construction process and must be carefully treated to:
Ensure waterproofing
Prevent thermal bridging
Enhance structural stability
Allow for building movement (expansion/contraction)
Meet fire-resistance and acoustic requirements
When improperly managed, these joints can become pathways for water intrusion, air leakage, and deterioration of internal components.
At Bricklayerpro, our approach to precast crevice installation combines deep technical expertise with premium materials and precision workmanship. Each joint is handled according to engineered specifications, architectural intent, and site-specific conditions. Our process includes:
Surface cleaning and inspection
Removal of dust, oil, and debris
Grinding or chipping if needed to achieve proper adhesion
Installation of backer rods or bond breakers
Selection of appropriate sealants based on expansion movement, UV exposure, and chemical resistance
Use of polyurethane, polysulfide, or silicone-based sealants
High-quality, flexible, weather-resistant sealants
Manual or pump-assisted gun application for controlled filling
Tooling to ensure full contact with joint walls and clean finish
Protection of sealant until curing is complete
Inspection and quality assurance to verify seal continuity and bond strength
We install and seal a full range of precast joints, including:
Vertical and horizontal panel joints
Slab-to-slab joints
Beam-to-column connections
Expansion joints
Architectural panel joints
Our installation services comply with all relevant standards, including:
ASTM C920 for elastomeric joint sealants
PCI (Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute) guidelines
Project-specific QA/QC procedures and third-party inspections
We also offer documentation for every step, from material data sheets to installation records, to ensure transparency and compliance with construction audits and client expectations.
