Concrete Sealing

Concrete Sealing Repels moisture

Because of how it’s made, cured concrete is a very porous material. Since most driveways are uncovered, they are constantly exposed to rain and snow. If moisture seeps into the pores, it can lead to cracks, mold, and moss, eventually breaking down the concrete. Driveway sealers create a thin layer of protection over the concrete, preventing these issues from occurring.

Concrete Sealing Prevents cracks

As we mentioned, sealers protect the pores in concrete, preventing moisture from seeping into the driveway. If moisture does get into the pores, they can expand when the weather freezes, which can crack and even lift the concrete.

 

Concrete Sealing Resists stains

Just like wood, if a stain is allowed to sit and seep into your concrete driveway, it’s going to be hard to remove. If you spill something on your driveway or your car leaks oil, a sealer will keep those liquids above the surface, making it easy to clean or wipe them off.
 

Concrete Sealing Enhances color

Concrete stains and colored concrete driveways are becoming more common than ever before. A topical sealer can enhance stains, dyes, and pigments, making them more vibrant. The sealer will also protect the stains/colors from fading while adding an optional shine or gloss to the driveway.

Concrete Sealing Revives old driveways

Older driveways in decent shape can be revived with a good sealer and shine. Always ask your concrete coating professional about the current state of your driveway to see if a sealer can help. Otherwise, they might advise replacing the damaged concrete before adding a sealer.
