Concrete, Brick and Aggregate Sealing In Port Huron
A common question we get is "Do I need to seal my concrete, brick or aggregate?". The awnser is typically, yes. While the aformentioned are extremely durable, the use of concrete or brick sealer will surely slow the weathering process and increase the amount of time you get out of that concrete patio, brick exterior or even your aggregate sidewalk.
Why should I seal my concrete, brick or aggregate?
Simply put, to prevent cracking. Concrete and brick are both very porious by nature, meaning that there are cracks that water and oils will seep into. In colder climates the water traped within the concrete or brick will freeze and expand causing cracks. Once concrete or brick is cracked, there is no going back. With the spike in costs of concrete since the pandemic, there is little evidence it will drop at the rate of other building materials. Dont let such a large investment sit unprotected, call PowerPros L.L.C to help with any concrete, brick or aggregate sealing project you have!
How does PowerPros L.L.C seal surfaces?
While we could go on about or sealing process, we are just going to cover the surface(pun-intended). We start by speaking with the homeowner about their goals for the project. Below are just some of the questions we ask to better understand the goal.
- Has the surface been stained recently and if so with what?
- What is this surface expected to hold up to(walking, parking, fluid spills, heavy loads)?
- Are you looking for a natural, wet(low gloss) or a wet(high gloss) look?
From there we powerwash the surface and get it prepped for sealing.
What type of sealant do I need?
It can not be expected that a homeowner try to decipher what is the proper sealer for my driveway, walkway, home exterior or patio especially when you hear things like "Silans vs Siloxanes vs Siliconates". Leave that up to PowerPros L.L.C, we will figure out what you need based on your wants.
How long do concrete, brick and aggregate sealers last once applied?
Well it depends.... Most homeowners are going to need to reseal their surfaces about every 4-5 years. Its worth mentioning that there are extremes on both sides. For example a high gloss sidewalk that see's salt in the winter is likely to need a reseal every 2-4 years. However, a low or no gloss sealer that see's salt in the winter is likely to last 5-7 years. Keep in mind that the sealer is absorbing most of the damages of everyday life. Would you like to pay a little bit every couple of years and save money in the long run, or spend all of it every 15 years to have the surface replaced?
