If you thought that pouring concrete was a one-and-done procedure, you’re missing out on the major benefits of concrete sealing. Although concrete is made from materials that are strongly bonded together, it’s still quite porous. This means that dirt, grime, oil, acids, mold, and mildew can easily absorb into your concrete surface and cause damage.

A deep clean with our sealing services can completely rejuvenate your concrete surface, making it look new in a matter of hours and maintain longevity for years to come. Even if your concrete was sealed after it was poured, it needs to be resealed every now and then to retain its appeal. All in all, sealing can be done with two different methods: water-based and solvent-based sealants.

Benefits of Water-Based Sealants

Water-based sealants have rapidly increased in popularity in recent years despite a bad reputation due to not working as well as solvents. Thankfully, water-based methods have become more sophisticated, and in some cases, even better than its solvent-based competitor. Thanks to water’s natural ability to absorb deeply into porous surfaces, water-based sealants can give up to 25 years of protection. And within that time, additional coats can be added without stripping previous ones, making it easy to freshen up the look of your concrete. 

Since water-based sealants use a thin nanofilm, you won’t find your sealant peeling or blistering. But as you might guess, water-based sealants also are non-toxic, easy to clean up, and completely safe for the environment and people. Concrete coated with water-based sealants also maintains breathability, though, so you may find that moisture is still able to seep through.
