Protect your concrete slabs with a free evaluation with our Axion 1155 deflection meter. Ace Avant Specialty provides expert assessment. We will develop a slab maintenance and repair program for your facility. Our comprehensive services ensure seamless and durable results, addressing unseen wear and tear before it develops into more costly damage.
Free Slab/ Joint movement Evaluations – Using our Axiom 1155 Meter we measure the movement of your floor joints to the thousands of an inch before movement greater than .02 (Per ACI 360-r16) may begin to cause more costly damage.
Virtually all interior floor slabs have saw-cut control and construction joints. Over time, heavy point loads from material handling equipment, i.e. forklifts and pallet jacks will break the edges of these joints, causing them to spall out and worsen over time. A floor joint that has been properly cleaned, prepared, and filled with a joint filler will minimize or eliminate this damage.
Are bad floor joints hurting your employee’s productivity, damaging product and material handling equipment, and cutting into your bottom line? Are bad floor conditions and damaged joints causing back injuries or complaints from your forklift operators?
Ace Avant specializes in repair and stabilization of industrial concrete floors and joints. Almost all commercial and industrial concrete floors and floor joints require ongoing maintenance. Material handling operations conducted on unstable concrete floor slabs and joints can cause costly product and equipment damage, hinder productivity, and even pose a risk to employee health and safety.
Ace Avant’s Specialty Division installs over 500,000 linear feet of interior slab joint fillers annually. We are a multi-manufacturer approved applicator, have state of the art dual component, joint filling pumps, as well as gas, propane, & electric powered clean out saws and vacuums that are used to properly prepare these floor joints.
Investing in professional joint maintenance offers numerous advantages, including:
•Extended Floor Life: Proper joint maintenance extends the lifespan of your concrete floors.
•Reduced Equipment Damage: Well-maintained joints minimize wear and tear on material handling equipment.
•Improved Safety: Filling and repairing joints reduces trip hazards and enhances workplace safety.
•Enhanced Aesthetics: Seamless joints contribute to a clean, professional appearance.
Trust our expertise at Ace Avant to extend the life of your concrete structures, enhance safety, and maintain a clean, professional appearance in your facility.

Concrete joints are essential for controlling the behavior of concrete slabs and ensuring their longevity and durability. At Ace Avant, we specialize in the maintenance and repair of various types of concrete joints, including saw-cut control joints, construction joints, and expansion joints. Understanding these different types of joints can help you appreciate the importance of proper joint filling and repair.
Saw-Cut Control Joints are intentional cuts placed in the concrete to control where the slab will crack due to shrinkage. These joints are typically installed at regular intervals soon after the concrete has been poured and partially set. They help manage the natural expansion and contraction of concrete, ensuring that cracks occur in a controlled and aesthetically acceptable manner.
Key Benefits:
•Crack Prevention: Helps prevent random cracking by directing where the slab will crack.
•Structural Integrity: Maintains the overall strength and appearance of the concrete slab.
•Easy Installation: Can be quickly and efficiently cut into the slab with specialized saws.
Construction Joints are placed where two successive concrete placements meet. These joints are essential for the integrity of large concrete pours that cannot be completed in one go. Properly filled and sealed construction joints prevent water infiltration and maintain the structural continuity of the slab.
Key Benefits:
•Continuity: Ensures structural continuity between different concrete pours.
•Water Resistance: Prevents water from seeping into the concrete, reducing the risk of damage.
•Flexibility: Allows for separate concrete placements without compromising the overall integrity of the floor.
Expansion Joints are designed to allow for the expansion and contraction of the concrete due to temperature changes. These joints are typically placed at regular intervals and around structures that might restrict movement, such as columns or walls. Expansion joints prevent cracks and structural damage by providing space for the concrete to move.
Key Benefits:
•Movement Accommodation: Allows the concrete to expand and contract without causing damage.
•Crack Prevention: Reduces the risk of cracking due to temperature fluctuations.
•Protection: Helps protect adjacent structures from stress and potential damage.
