Concrete Sealing Helps to Protect Your Northern Minnesota Pavement

Elite Services LLC is the leading source of pressure washing in Walker and Northern Minnesota, and now the one-stop for all your concrete sealing needs!

Concrete sealing is a preventative measure you can take to protect your concrete against staining, discoloration, and even some erosion or weathering. Sealing concrete entails adding a chemical layer that dries into a protective, water-resistant layer that will repel most dirt, liquids, and grime. This sealant will deter staining agents like oil, grease, coolant, and other engine liquids that could drip from vehicles or lawn maintenance equipment and prevent longer team, ingrained stains from occurring in the first place.

This procedure will decrease your need for frequent high-pressure washing! If you elect to have your concrete sealed, it will lessen the need for your concrete to have pressure washing. One of the benefits of frequent pressure washing in Walker and surrounding Northern Minnesota areas is to remove stains or mild discolorations before they seep deeper into your driveway or sidewalks and become more of a deep-rooted issue and harder to clean away. Once your cleaned concrete has been sealed, it will be much harder for such unwanted contaminants to permeate into the surface. The sealing process will cover the concrete's surface pores with a chemical filler, acting as a barrier that prevents liquids from seeping any further. Therefore, dripping liquids won't be able to permeate deeper than surface-level pores.

Steps in Concrete Sealing

Concrete sealing follows a general set of directions for the most effective sealing result. The methodology may vary based on the condition of your concrete or types of surfaces, including the presence or absence of previous concrete sealants.

1. Clean the concrete first. It's useless to begin sealing unless previous dirt, grime, and liquid contaminants have been removed.
2. Strip any pre-existing sealer from the surface. Old, previous sealant can interfere with the effectiveness of anything new.
3. Apply new sealant in thin coats using a roller or other tool.
4. Apply a second coat after the first dries.
5. Wait for all sealants to dry before walking or driving on concrete.

After these steps, your concrete will be newly protected against foreign contaminants! Your concrete sealing will help protect against liquids, dirt, and natural grime, and you can enjoy parking your vehicles or storing lawn maintenance equipment on your driveway for long-term periods.

Driveway washing will still be necessary to maintain top-quality condition, but your new sealant will necessitate fewer washings!
