What Finishes Possible with Concrete Restoration?

Concrete may be hard to the touch, but don’t confuse its durability with indestructibility. As with all things, concrete wears down over time and requires regular maintenance to keep it in the best shape possible for as long as possible. Wondering if you’re taking care of your concrete flooring properly? Watch out for these signs that you need your concrete restored:

One of the most obvious indications of aging or a need for repair in concrete is the appearance of cracks. The mixing of concrete involves a very delicate balance of water and rock, and errors made during the installation of concrete can sometimes result in cracks. Unfortunately, even if your concrete is poured perfectly, you can expect some cracking, according to the American Concrete Institute. That’s because concrete is highly porous and therefore sensitive to the elements, like heat and water. Heat causes concrete to expand, and if it bumps up against anything that can’t bend along with it, it cracks. Concrete is also worn down by regular traffic.

Peeling is another mark of a need for repairs, such as a new sealant. Like cracking, peeling can be a result of multiple factors, including mistakes made during the installation of your concrete.

Don’t wait until the cracks get bigger and bigger and the peeling worsens. Keep yourself from needing more and more work done on your concrete flooring by addressing the problem right away with professional help. However, even if you’re not currently dealing with cracking or peeling, a new sealant can be helpful in keeping your concrete well-maintained and looking fresh. So don’t be afraid to reach out to our experts in order to have your concrete resealed often.

Concrete Resealing

Many people know that there are surfaces that need to be sealed to keep it in its best condition. However, when it comes to concrete, people tend to forget about it and the protection it requires to keep a smooth surface. Just like any other surface, concrete needs to be maintained with regular sealing and resealing. If you are interested in keeping your concrete free of any fissures, cracks, or chips, you may need to invest in regular concrete resealing.

Concrete Resealing Fort LauderdaleHow Can Sealing Concrete Help its Appearance?

Concrete is a strong surface that can be reliable for you if you keep it in great shape. In Fort Lauderdale, there is a lot of moisture. It is in the air and the ground, there is no escaping moisture anywhere in South Florida. Moisture and concrete do not mix well, so it is important to seal your concrete to protect it from the effects of moisture.

When moisture enters the porous cracks and fissures of concrete, the constant expanding and contracting of the water destroys the bond of concrete. Sealing the concrete keeps water from breaching the stone altogether. It is equally important to administer follow-up sealants as the original coat is worn from excessive traffic, time, and natural elements.

You may be thinking that because your concrete in the garage is not exposed to the amount of moisture that is outside. However, you would be wrong. All it takes is the humidity in the air to destroy a slab of concrete. Even worse for the concrete that is inside a garage, the concrete is exposed to the hazardous dirt, oil, chemicals, and grease stains that can muddy up the appearance of your concrete floors.

Concrete sealing doesn’t only protect your floors from damaging and expensive cracks and ugly chips, but it also protects your floor from the cosmetic slip-ups of permanent grease and chemicals that can penetrate deep into the concrete. Keeping up with concrete sealing in Fort Lauderdale is also important to protect it from the UV rays that are so strong in South Florida.
