Even if a roof, pavement or structure has quality waterproof materials, a poorly solved joint can become a water entry route and cause leaks, humidity and deterioration of the construction elements.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In industrial buildings, shopping centers, parking lots and large stores, the correct execution of the joints is especially important to guarantee the continuity of the waterproofing and adapt to the movements of the structure.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At IMPERA we work with waterproofing solutions adapted to the characteristics of each project, with special attention to the singular points that can compromise the watertightness of the building.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are expansion joints and why are they necessary?<\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expansion joints are planned separations between construction elements that allow certain movements of the building to be absorbed without generating excessive forces or causing uncontrolled cracks.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These movements can be related to temperature changes, material shrinkage, structural deformations or other service conditions.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a waterproofed surface, the difficulty lies in allowing these movements without losing the continuity of protection against water.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this reason, joints require specific solutions, compatible with the waterproofing system used and suitable for the expected amplitude and type of movement.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are joints vulnerable to leaks?<\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An expansion joint interrupts the continuity of the construction support. If the waterproofing system is not prepared to adapt to this discontinuity, tensions, detachments or ruptures may appear.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the most common problems are:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Loss of adhesion of the waterproofing to the sides of the joint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cracking or breakage of membranes subjected to movements greater than expected.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aging or deterioration of sealing elements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accumulation of water in areas with insufficient slopes or drainage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incompatibility between the materials of the joint and the waterproofing system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leaks do not always appear exactly at the point where the water enters. In certain structures, water can move between layers or construction elements before becoming visible.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this reason, a correct diagnosis is essential before considering any repair.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you properly waterproof an expansion joint?<\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no single solution that is valid for all joints. The selection of the system depends on the characteristics of the work, the expected movement, the exposure to water and the conditions of use.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Study of the support and the expected movements<\/h5>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before carrying out the waterproofing, it is necessary to identify the type of joint, its dimensions and the movements that it will have to absorb.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conditions of the support, the presence of humidity and the mechanical demands of the surface must also be assessed.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/impera.cat\/en\/how-to-plan-waterproofing-without-interrupting-the-activity-of-a-building\/\">Proper planning of the waterproofing work<\/a> allows you to anticipate critical points, coordinate the different phases of the work and reduce incidents during execution.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Selection of a compatible system<\/h5>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joints may require flexible bands, specific profiles, prefabricated systems or other solutions designed to maintain tightness while the expected movements occur.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compatibility between different materials is essential. It is not enough to place a conventional waterproof membrane on a joint without taking into account its deformation capacity.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Execution of connection points<\/h5>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The union between the joint system and the general waterproofing is one of the most important phases.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overlaps, adhesions, terminations and connections with other construction elements must be executed according to the system and manufacturer&#8217;s specifications.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Checking waterproof continuity<\/h5>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the work has been carried out, it is necessary to verify that the connections and singular points have been resolved correctly.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the characteristics of the work and the system, inspections and tests can be established to check the tightness.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These checks help to detect possible defects before putting the surface into service or executing the finishing layers.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The importance of joints in large commercial and industrial areas<\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expansion joints acquire special relevance in extensive surfaces, where construction movements and conditions of use may require more complex solutions.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the case for shopping centers, industrial facilities, parking lots and certain infrastructures.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In these spaces, waterproofing must work together with joints, drainage systems, points of contact with vertical walls and other construction elements.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An example is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/impera.cat\/en\/projecte\/waterproofing-of-estacio-de-franca-barcelona\/\">IMPERA&#8217;s intervention in the EPIZEN Shopping Center,<\/a><\/strong> where waterproofing work has been carried out on the exterior pavement of the ground floor over an area of \u200b\u200bover 4,000 m\u00b2.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project included the installation of BMI&#8217;s PARAFOR PONTS waterproof membrane and the placement of expansion joints compatible with this system, following the manufacturer&#8217;s specifications.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This action highlights the importance of coordinating general waterproofing with the resolution of singular points in large projects.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens when an expansion joint is not properly waterproofed?<\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poor execution can cause recurring leaks and affect elements that initially do not seem related to the joint.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The consequences may include dampness on lower floors, deterioration of finishes, damage to construction materials and, in certain circumstances, degradation processes that require more significant interventions.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, repairing a joint after having executed flooring, cladding or other finishes may involve additional work to access the waterproof system.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this reason, it is preferable to approach its design and execution correctly from the early stages of the project.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maintenance and inspection of expansion joints<\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The durability of a waterproofing system does not depend solely on its initial installation. Joints and unique points should also be part of the building&#8217;s periodic inspections.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is advisable to check the condition of accessible seals, detect possible detachments or cracks and check that drainage systems are working correctly.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These actions are especially important before periods of more intense rainfall. In this sense, <a href=\"https:\/\/impera.cat\/en\/how-to-prepare-roofs-and-terraces-before-the-autumn-rains\/\">preparing roofs and terraces before the autumn rains<\/a> is a preventive measure that helps identify possible incidents before they become more important problems.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The frequency of inspections will depend on the characteristics of the building, the environmental conditions and the maintenance instructions of the installed system.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Early detection can prevent a localized incident from ending up affecting a larger surface area.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">IMPERA: specialized solutions for durable waterproofing<\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expansion joints are an example of why waterproofing requires technical knowledge, appropriate selection of materials and professional execution.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At IMPERA we carry out waterproofing work in new construction and renovation, with solutions adapted to roofs, pavements, underground structures and other construction elements.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The correct resolution of joints and singular points is essential to achieve reliable and durable waterproof systems.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need a waterproofing solution for a construction project or a rehabilitation intervention, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/impera.cat\/en\/contact\/\">contact the IMPERA team<\/a> to assess the needs of the work.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Expansion joints are critical points in any waterproofing system.
