Has Winter Weather Effected Your Concrete?

Now that the holiday season has come to an end, the wintertime approaches, and we ring in a new year, we want to talk about the effects that the snow has on your concrete.

While freshly fallen snow creates a beautiful blanket across the ground, did you know that it also has a major impact on your concrete? To prevent tripping hazards and accidents, sand or salt is often used to treat the ground. Sanding and salting then accelerate the breakdown of concrete by causing corrosion under the surface. This corrosion leads to cracked and crumbling concrete. This entire process worsens with each thaw cycle.

To prevent against your concrete coming to ruin due to the winter weather, we highly recommend getting your concrete sealed. SealantPro is a state-of-the-art material that bonds with concrete on a molecular level, permanently protecting it from water, dirt, and other contaminants in a single coat. Once applied, SealantPro dries in minutes and is fully cured in just 6 hours, so you can use your concrete the same day. It is simple, fast, economical, and extremely effective. Another excellent option that we offer is NexusPro. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry out. That means a single application can seal the joints and cracks in your concrete driveway, patio, pool deck or sidewalk for years to come, protecting it from damage caused by soil compaction and washout. A great benefit to NexusPro is that it can be applied year round!
