The Importance of Cleaning and Sealing Your Concrete

Concrete can develop a lot of wear and tear over years. While concrete is a strong substance, weather and constant use can cause it to deteriorate over time. If you would like to get the most efficient use out of your concrete, cleaning and sealing your concrete is a great option. 

Sealing your concrete can help with the following.

Extended Durability

With the proper care, your concrete can last for up to 25 years. Without using a sealant on your concrete, it will endure much more wear and tear from debris, dirt, oil, salt, and other chemicals. Sealing can also prevent discoloration, cracking, and crumbling.

Color Enhancement

If you have colored concrete installed, sealing and cleaning are even more important for durability. Not only will it protect, but sealing will help improve the overall appearance of colored concrete. If colored concrete is not protected, it could lead to discoloration and cause the color to fade. Be sure to look into this option if you have color-enhanced concrete.

Reduce The Appearance of Dirt

If you are looking to revitalize concrete that has accumulated dirt and grime, a powerwash is a great option. Having dirty concrete can also lead to mold and shorten the lifespan of your concrete.

Mold Deterrent

Concrete is a very strong surface. Due to the mixing process of the concrete, it is subject to accumulating mold. Concrete gains mold with the absorbance of moisture. If concrete is not given an appropriate amount of time, mold will start to accumulate. When mold accumulates, it will have a green discoloration. If you choose to seal your concrete, it will be much harder for mold to grow.

Extended Life

If your concrete is not cleaned and sealed, it will most likely not last for up to 25 years. Without a sealant, discoloration, crumbling, and molding will occur faster. When concrete is sealed, it is creating a protective barrier to repel and potential damage. Each project is inspected to make sure the process is thorough.
