Concrete Sealant
Permanent Concrete Sealing
Extend the Life of Your Home's Concrete
Concrete surfaces are constantly exposed to water, sunlight, chemicals, and daily wear. Over time, moisture can soak into unprotected concrete, leading to staining, surface deterioration, and increased vulnerability to cracking and freeze-thaw damage. As concrete absorbs water, it becomes more prone to pitting, flaking, and long-term breakdown. Protecting your concrete early helps it stay stronger for longer, reducing aging, preventing damage, and avoiding premature repairs or replacement.
What is SealantPro™?
Concrete naturally absorbs water, chemicals, and debris, which can lead to staining, surface damage, and faster deterioration. SealantPro™ protects concrete by creating a permanent barrier that blocks moisture and contaminants before they cause problems. With a single professional application, it helps concrete resist freeze-thaw damage, reduce staining, and maintain a clean, durable surface, extending the life of driveways, patios, sidewalks, and other concrete areas while reducing maintenance.
SealantPro™ Capabilities
Concrete sealant acts as a protective layer over your surfaces, extending their life and keeping them looking great.
- Helps prevent moisture from seeping in and causing cracks or erosion.
- Protects concrete from oil stains caused by vehicles or spills.
- Reduces fading and surface wear caused by sun exposure.
- Guards against damage from salts, cleaners, and other harsh chemicals.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
When concrete isn’t sealed, it can absorb water, stains, and chemicals through its porous surface. This moisture can lead to discoloration, salt buildup, and freeze-thaw damage in colder climates. Unsealed concrete is also more vulnerable to wear and surface deterioration, which can shorten its lifespan. Sealing concrete helps protect it from the elements, improves its appearance, and makes it easier to maintain over time.
-
The best sealer for concrete is one that matches how the surface is used and provides long-term protection, not just a temporary coating. Many store-bought sealers sit on top of the concrete and wear away over time. At Ayers Basement Systems, we use a professional-grade, penetrating sealer designed to repel water while allowing concrete to breathe. This type of sealer bonds within the slab to protect against moisture, chemicals, and wear, helping concrete last longer with less maintenance.
-
Almost any concrete surface can benefit from sealing, especially those exposed to daily wear and the elements. This includes exterior areas like driveways, patios, and sidewalks, as well as interior surfaces such as garage and basement floors. Concrete sealing helps protect against moisture, chemicals, and seasonal changes, reducing the risk of pitting, flaking, and cracking over time.
-
Most concrete sealing projects take our crews a single day to complete, and SealantPro™ dries and cures quickly, allowing your concrete to be used normally within hours.
-
Power washing can remove concrete sealers, especially if the sealer is older or has already begun to wear down. High-pressure water can strip away the protective layer, leaving the concrete exposed to moisture and damage. Higher-quality, professionally applied sealers are generally more resistant, but it’s always best to use proper cleaning methods to avoid damaging the concrete or its protection.
