Expansion Joint Sealant Application

During the construction of pools, it’s essential to create controlled expansion joints. These gaps serve a crucial purpose, allowing for settling and providing space for your pool deck to move without causing damage to the pool structure. One of the most critical controlled expansion joints exists between the swimming pool coping and the surrounding decking.

When the pool is initially installed, a white foam expansion joint is placed before pouring the decking. This foam material serves as a placeholder for creating the expansion joint around the pool’s perimeter. However, it’s important to note that this foam does not seal the joint and tends to deteriorate rapidly. As a result, it should be removed and replaced with a urethane sealant.

The ideal choice for sealing the expansion joint is a self-leveling engineered urethane sealant designed specifically for this purpose. This high-quality material ensures a long-lasting seal. Our team specializes in the installation of these coatings and sealants around your pool area, not only preserving its original appearance but also enhancing it while providing protection.

Effective Maintenance

Ensuring proper maintenance of the expansive joint encircling the pool, situated between the coping and decking, is of utmost importance for several compelling reasons. Failure to maintain this gap adequately may result in:

  1. Exposure to the elements, leading to potential separation and cracking of the tile and coping.
  2. Attracting debris, weeds, and insects, creating an unsightly and unhygienic environment.
  3. Safety concerns for individuals, particularly fingers and toes.
  4. Aesthetic issues, with white foam visible or, worse yet, gaps and crevices around the pool.
  5. Erosion beneath the decking and the pool’s beam due to constant exposure to water from swimmers and natural elements.

Pricing:

  • $8.50 per linear foot if no sealant is currently applied.
  • $10 per linear foot if existing sealant is being removed and reapplied.

*Additional charges may apply for exceptionally wide gaps and multiple issues.

Andrew Z.

“These guys are the best. They are timely, fair cost, absolute excellent knowledge. Every person I’ve ever interacted with has been helpful and knowledgeable. You need something done and they do it. From spas, pools and service I couldn’t recommend them more.”

Susan R.

“I bought my pool and my hot tub from Van Brill. Over the years, I have had nothing but a great working relationship with them. Last Friday, I had a problem and it required a service call. Phil and the other guy, whose name escapes me so sorry, went above and beyond to help me solve the problem!
This company always keeps cost to a minimum and stands by their work!!”

Frank S.

“This summer we switched to Van Brill after our terrible experience with our prior pool servicing company and couldn’t be happier with the decision. Our pool has been running better and cleaner than it has in a long time. Van Brill has been professional, diligent, knowledgeable and fair – really could not ask for more. Based on our experience thus far, would highly recommend.”

Gary B.

“I needed a liner on short notice in order to get my pool up and running before Memorial Day Weekend after another contractor fell through last minute. The staff at Van Brill (specifically Don) were super helpful in communicating what was needed, and got right to work to help me. When the crew came to my house to remove the old liner and install the new, they were professional, hard-working and did excellent and quick work. Should have gone with VB from the start! Very happy with their work, and highly recommend using.”

Michael K.

“Mike and his crew were great from start to finish. Very responsive and professional. I already referred friends to Mike. Highly recommend Van Brill Pools. Only regret is not doing it earlier!”
