Mastic Services

What is Mastic and Why is it Important?

Mastic, also known as expansion joint sealant, is a self-leveling sealant applied between your pool and the surrounding decking. The primary function of this sealant is to maintain the stability and appearance of the joint between the pool coping and deck. This essential layer serves multiple purposes that help protect both your pool and deck for years to come.

Benefits of Mastic Sealant

1. Prevents Shifting
   The expansion joint between the pool and decking is naturally prone to movement due to temperature fluctuations, moisture, and the weight of the surrounding deck. Mastic sealant allows for this expansion and contraction, preventing the deck from shifting out of alignment. This is critical in ensuring the structural integrity of both the pool and the surrounding area.

2. Keeps Moisture Out
   One of the most important functions of mastic is to act as a barrier against moisture. By sealing the gap between the pool and the deck, it prevents water from seeping into the joint. Moisture infiltration can lead to various problems, such as erosion of the deck, mold growth, and even damage to the pool’s structure.

3. Keeps Bugs and Debris Out
   By sealing the joint, mastic prevents insects and debris from entering the gap. This ensures that bugs, dirt, and other particles don’t create a breeding ground for unwanted pests or contribute to deck damage over time.

4. Aesthetic Appeal
   Mastic not only serves a functional purpose but also contributes to the seamless look of your pool area. When properly applied, mastic creates a smooth, uniform transition from the pool coping to the deck, enhancing the overall appearance of your outdoor space. Whether your deck is made of concrete, stone, or tile, mastic provides a clean, polished look.

5. Durability
   Mastic is a durable and long-lasting solution for expansion joints. It’s designed to withstand the elements, including heat, cold, UV rays, and pool chemicals, ensuring that your pool area remains looking great and structurally sound for many years.

When Should You Have Mastic Reapplied?

Mastic sealant is a long-lasting solution, but over time, exposure to the elements and regular wear and tear can cause it to break down. It’s recommended to have the mastic sealant inspected regularly to ensure it’s still performing as it should. Signs that it may need reapplication include:

• Cracking or separation in the sealant

• Visible gaps between the pool coping and deck

• Moisture or water pooling near the expansion joint

• Aesthetic issues, such as discoloration or sagging

Our Process for Mastic Application

1. Inspection
   We begin by thoroughly inspecting the expansion joint to assess its current condition. Any existing damage is noted, and we discuss with you the best approach for repair or reapplication.

2. Cleaning
   Proper surface preparation is key to a successful mastic application. We’ll clean the joint area to remove dirt, debris, and any old sealant to ensure proper adhesion of the new mastic.

3. Application
   Once the area is prepped, we apply the self-leveling mastic sealant carefully along the joint. The sealant is smoothed to create a seamless and uniform look.

4. Finishing Touches
   After the mastic has been applied, we ensure that it is properly set and leveled. We also perform a final inspection to make sure the job is complete and meets our high-quality standards.
