Photo Album: Water coming down to the cold joints in Aberdeen, ID

We quoted for Waterguard and Cleanspace Wallie to catch the water coming down the walls and in from the cold joint on the floor. A cold joint is a plane of weakness in concrete caused by an interruption or delay in the concreting operations. It occurs when the first batch of concrete has begun to set before the next batch is added so that the two batches do not intermix.
