Is it time for concrete sealing?

What causes the dirt and stains

- Freeze-thaw cycles and deicing salts
- Unsealed concrete absorbing oil and water
Easy upkeep between cleanings

- Avoid deicers that contain ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulfate

- Applying too thick a coat, which peels
What happens on the day
- Clean the concrete thoroughly
- Treat stains and let the surface dry
- Repair cracks where needed
- Apply a penetrating or film-forming sealer
- Keep traffic off until it cures

Serving McLoud, OK and nearby towns
In Oklahoma, concrete has to deal with summer mildew and winter salt and freeze-thaw cycles. Annual cleaning and a sealer every few years help it last.
Red clay soil is common in parts of Oklahoma. Rain splashes it onto the bottom of the siding, walls and walkways, and its iron-rich color can stain light surfaces. It usually needs a dedicated clay or rust cleaner rather than pressure alone.

Do you use high pressure for concrete sealing?
Concrete Sealing is usually done with clean, then seal, with the pressure adjusted for each surface. Delicate surfaces nearby, such as siding, windows and plants, are protected or cleaned with lower pressure.
Is concrete sealing safe for my plants and pets?
We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I schedule concrete sealing?
Every 2-5 years, depending on the sealer. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do, and sealers and stains need dry weather to cure. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
