What actually shortens joint life in Stanton.
Decades of deck movement leave a mark. On a pool that has been in the ground thirty or forty years, the joint has already absorbed a great deal of expansion and contraction, the walls have been cut and recut, and the channel is often wider and more irregular than it started. None of that is a problem for a properly sized bead on correctly set backer rod, but it is exactly the situation where a rushed job fails fast. If your pool is in Stanton, including Beach Boulevard corridor, Cerritos Avenue and Hollywood Mobile Estates area, the question is rarely whether the joint is failing. It is whether it has been open long enough for water to have reached the base under the deck, which is the part that decides how expensive the next few years are.
