Expansion Joint Contractors in San Antonio, TX

Here in the Bexar County area, commercial buildings must be built to withstand a lot of stress. That means commercial property owners and their contractors are under a lot of pressure to ensure our buildings remain safe to withstand the brutal temperatures and sometimes extreme weather conditions.

San Antonio and other areas of Texas can have record-breaking heatwaves. And as we learned in 2021, we can also have sub-zero temperatures in the same year. If you’re a commercial property owner or manager, you face a lot of pressure to protect your investments and tenants.

You need the best service providers with reputations for quality and local knowledge. In Texas, that’s Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing.

How Expansion Joints Protect Your Commercial & Industrial Properties

Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing has the experience and solid reputation for the kind of detailed quality you expect from a construction contractor or subcontractor. We’re a leading company for commercial waterproofing, restoration, insulation and fireproofing systems and services. One of our often-needed services in Texas is structural expansion joint installation.

Using expansion joints in the walls and floors of commercial structures introduces a flexible material into a slab separation. Our goal is to enable building sections to disjoin, expand and contract more easily and safely. Sealants and bond-breakers (liquids, sprays, tapes or rods) allow for movement, but they should also lessen moisture accumulation between sections and slabs.

Tragic events can result from badly built or maintained commercial properties. The results of poor work quality or lack of diligent maintenance can cost lives and millions of dollars in damages. Partnering with the right company is more important than ever.

Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing is an industry leader, and we know how to meet your timeline and project budget without compromise.

  • Blocks/bricks: Many do-overs occur when inexperienced contractors are working with block/brick walls insulation and waterproofing.
  • CMU: Your concrete masonry unit will be made of sturdy materials that are quickly and easily installed.
  • EIF: The exterior insulation and finish system is a type of wall-cladding for exteriors that provides the necessary waterproofing properties.
• Interior wall joints: Our installations have included office buildings, retail properties, multifamily units and hospitals.
• Plaza deck: This style deck can accommodate pedestrian or vehicular traffic on top of occupied spaces. Plaza decks are often found in airports, parking garages, roadways, stadiums and other entertainment venues.
• Solid deck: This type of slab can handle extreme weathering and heavy traffic.
• Split-slab deck: A “sandwich slab” is split-slab structural support under another slab. The two layers are separated by a waterproof membrane or coating that will manage heavy foot traffic and dangerous weather conditions.
