Concrete Sealing in Clarksville, TN
Concrete sealing helps protect driveways, sidewalks, patios, porches and other concrete surfaces from moisture, weather exposure, oil, automotive fluids and other contaminants. Clarksville Exterior Cleaning provides professional concrete sealing using the type of sealer and application process best suited to the concrete, its condition and the property owner’s goals.
Since 1999, we’ve understood that exterior surfaces aren’t one-size-fits-all, and concrete is no different. We measure the areas to be serviced, evaluate the condition and surroundings, and provide an exact cost quote before work begins. Proper cleaning and surface preparation are included as part of our concrete sealing process so we control the condition of the surface before applying the sealer. We also protect nearby siding, garage areas, landscaping and other surfaces as needed while completing the work professionally and carefully.
Protect Your Concrete with the Right Sealer
Not every concrete sealer is designed to accomplish the same thing. Some sealers penetrate into the concrete to help reduce moisture and contaminant absorption, while others provide more protection at the surface. Clear sealers can preserve the natural appearance of the concrete, while colored concrete sealers can provide protection while also changing or refreshing its appearance.
We select the sealer based on the condition of the concrete, how the area is used, its exposure to weather and surrounding conditions, and what the property owner wants to accomplish. A driveway exposed to vehicle traffic, oil and antifreeze has different concerns than a covered porch or patio. Trees, shade, drainage and other conditions around the concrete can also affect the appropriate product and application process.
Our goal isn’t to sell every customer the same product or application. It’s to use our experience to recommend a sealing system that makes sense for the particular concrete and the protection or appearance the customer wants.
Our Concrete Sealing Process
A professional concrete sealing job begins before the sealer is applied. During our initial assessment, we measure the concrete areas to be serviced so we can accurately determine the amount of cleaning, preparation and sealing product the job will require. We evaluate the concrete, take photographs when needed, consider surrounding conditions and provide an exact cost quote based on the actual work involved.
Concrete cleaning and surface preparation are performed by Clarksville Exterior Cleaning as part of our sealing service. This gives us control over the condition of the surface before any sealer is applied. Once the concrete is properly prepared, we protect nearby siding, garage areas, landscaping and other surfaces when necessary to help prevent overspray or unwanted product exposure.
Most concrete sealing projects receive two coats for consistent coverage and protection. Some previously sealed or colored surfaces may only require a maintenance recoat depending on their condition and the customer’s request. After application, we’ll explain when the area can safely be walked or driven on based on the particular sealer used and curing conditions.
Benefits of Concrete Sealing
Concrete is constantly exposed to moisture, weather, vehicle traffic and contaminants that can affect its appearance and condition over time. Professional concrete sealing can help reduce the penetration of water, oil, antifreeze and other contaminants while providing additional protection against staining, discoloration and everyday exposure.
Sealing can also help protect concrete through seasonal weather changes. Limiting moisture penetration is especially important during freeze-and-thaw cycles, when water entering porous concrete can freeze, expand and contribute to surface deterioration. Sealing newer concrete may also help homeowners follow maintenance recommendations provided by their concrete contractor.
Sealed concrete still requires routine cleaning and maintenance. A sealer doesn’t prevent dirt, algae or outdoor pollution from reaching the surface, but it can help keep contaminants from penetrating or bonding as tightly to the concrete. That can make future concrete cleaning easier while helping protect the appearance and condition of the surface.
