Why Is It Important to Seal Concrete?

Never underestimate the importance of sealing concrete, especially in a sunny climate like Arizona. Sealing your concrete will prevent damage and keep your outdoor surfaces looking like new. Protect your outdoor surfaces with professional concrete sealing from Acme Pressure Wash in Phoenix. Our expert technicians can seal concrete driveways, walkways, pavers, patios, pools, and more!

The Importance of Sealing Concrete 

Because concrete is porous, it’s very vulnerable to stains from grease and oil, as well as damage from water, wind, and weather. Sealing your concrete prevents unsightly sparring and cracking from sun exposure. It also deters weeds and makes maintenance easier. You can even prevent accidents by adding anti-slip protection to the sealant, especially in pool areas and walkways.

Prevent Damage

Sealants extend the lifespan of concrete and protect it from all forms of damage. Sealing your concrete stops the fading and deterioration caused by sunlight and weather. Applying a sealant will repair unattractive cracks and flaking and prevent further damage. 

Stop Stains

Sealing your concrete creates a protective barrier that resists stains. Stop grime and grease from reaching your concrete with a protective seal. Prevent oil stains, rust stains with professional concrete sealing from Acme.

Deter Weeds and Pests

Concrete sealants deter weed growth, ant hills, and other insect activity by filling cracks and crevices. Prevent damage from the weeds and insects that make cracks worse. Sealing your concrete is the best way to keep pests at bay.

Reduce Maintenance

Coating your concrete with a protective sealant also makes it easier to clean. Sealants resist dirt and grime and keep them on the surface where they can easily be rinsed away. You should be able to maintain your sealed concrete by washing it regularly with a simple garden hose. 

Add Anti-Slip Protection

Protect your family and guests from slips and falls. Adding anti-slip protection in pool areas is always a good idea. Concrete sealants not only prevent water damage, they also make your home safer. 

Why You Should Hire a Pro

Sealing pavers requires a certain level of expertise—there are safety risks involved. Some types of sealants should only be handled by a trained professional with appropriate safety gear. It’s important to use the same type of sealant for reapplications—applying a different type of sealant could cause chemical reactions that discolor your concrete. Our professional technicians can identify any existing treatments and reapply the appropriate product
