Expansion joints are engineered gaps that let a building's roof, walls and decks move with temperature and load. When the joint cover, sealant or bellows fails, water enters the structure at a point that is hard to repair later. Statesville Roofing repairs and replaces roof, wall, plaza and parking deck expansion joints across North Carolina.
Expansion joints are the hardest-working seal on a building and the most often ignored. Roof joint covers split, wall joint sealant tears, and deck joint systems delaminate under traffic. Because they sit at the junction of two building sections, the water damage can be extensive before anyone finds the source.
We match the joint system to the movement, traffic and exposure: pre-formed bellows on roofs, high-movement sealants in walls, and traffic-rated systems on parking and plaza decks.
Signs of expansion joint failure
- Split, cracked or displaced roof expansion joint covers
- Leaks at the line where two building sections meet
- Wall joint sealant torn or pulled from one side
- Deck joint systems delaminated, gapped or missing
- Staining or spalling concrete below deck joints
- Joints filled with rigid material that cannot move

Expansion Joint Repairs questions, answered
How do I know if a leak is from an expansion joint?
Leaks that track along the line where two building sections or roof areas meet, or that appear at columns and walls below a deck joint, usually originate at the joint.
How often should expansion joints be replaced?
Roof and wall joints typically last 10 to 20 years. Deck joints under traffic wear faster. Inspect all joints annually.
Can you repair a joint without replacing the whole run?
Sometimes, for localized damage. Widespread splitting or hardening calls for full replacement to avoid repeated call-backs.
