Project Overview
Zavza Seal LLC recently completed a construction joint sealing project for a residential client in Stony Brook, NY. This project aimed to address a defective construction joint at the driveway foundation wall, ensuring enhanced durability, water resistance, and aesthetic appeal.
Client Concern The client observed that the construction joint along the driveway foundation wall was deteriorating. This posed a risk of water infiltration and potential structural damage, prompting the need for professional intervention.
Diagnosis and Proposed Solution
Our team assessed the site and determined that approximately 36 linear feet (lf) of the construction joint required sealing. Based on our findings, we proposed a comprehensive solution involving:
- Removing all existing defective material.
- Cleaning out the joint cavity thoroughly.
- Installing a backer rod to create a 3/8-inch deep joint.
- Applying primer and installing a high-quality silicon sealant.
- Tooling off the sealant to achieve a neat, smooth finish.
Execution Process
- Preparation:
- Our team carefully removed all defective material from the joint cavity to ensure proper adhesion of the new sealant.
- The cavity was cleaned to eliminate debris and contaminants.
- Installation of Backer Rod:
- A backer rod was installed to maintain the appropriate joint depth and support the silicon sealant application.
- Application of Primer and Sealant:
- Primer was applied to ensure optimal adhesion of the silicon sealant.
- High-performance silicon sealant was then applied and tooled to a smooth finish for a professional appearance and effective sealing.
- Final Inspection:
- The joint was inspected to confirm that the sealant was evenly applied and free from imperfections.
- All debris was cleared, leaving the driveway and surrounding area clean.

The side of the foundation wall dug up for repair work
Results The newly sealed construction joint now provides:
- Enhanced water resistance, preventing infiltration.
- Increased durability and reduced risk of structural damage.
- A polished and seamless appearance that complements the driveway.
Client Feedback The client was highly satisfied with the results, praising the team’s professionalism, attention to detail, and timely completion of the project. “Zavza Seal LLC exceeded our expectations. The driveway looks fantastic, and we no longer worry about water damage,” the client shared.
