Protect Your Concrete with Perfect Power Wash
When you are considering home maintenance options and priorities, your concrete surfaces likely never cross your mind as needing attention. Once concrete is laid and settled, it can become an afterthought because it appears to be strong enough to withstand your lifetime and beyond. However, while concrete is inherently strong, it requires proper care to help prevent deterioration. Winter weather brings freeze-thaw cycles that occur within your concrete that will lead to cracking, chipping, and additional damage that turn into costly repairs. Fortunately for you and your concrete, Perfect Power Wash’s team of professionals has a process designed to clean and protect your concrete in the safest possible manner. Over 20+ years in business, Perfect Power Wash has serviced over 200,000 satisfied customers using their proven processes and industry-leading equipment.
THE HARD TRUTH ABOUT CONCRETE
Concrete acts like a sponge; the pores on the surface take in moisture that seeps beneath the surface. When moisture is absorbed into concrete and freezes, it can expand the concrete by up to 9%. When this happens, the water will spread out in the concrete with nowhere to go. The expansion occurring inside the concrete will eventually lead to cracking, chipping, and pitting after enough of these freezethaw cycles. Additionally, salt and other anti-melting agents can cause surface damage that adds to the issue.
In short, the seasons, as well as daily wear and tear caused by vehicle traffic, can wreak havoc on your concrete if you do not maintain it on a regular basis. When concrete cracks and those cracks expand over time, the surface can be too far gone to have it leveled and would need replaced— and this process is extremely expensive. For example, the average driveway is around 1,200 square feet. If this concrete needed replaced, it would cost upwards of $7,200. Washing and sealing your concrete costs pennies on the dollar in comparison. Perfect
Power Wash’s Concrete Wash and Seal uses safe pressure to flush out the pores of your concrete before applying a premium, proprietary sealer to protect your concrete from within.
With winter just around the corner, this is the perfect time to have your concrete washed and sealed before freezing temperatures become the norm. An application of a penetrating siloxane sealer shortly before winter will increase the effectiveness of the sealer’s protective properties from freeze and thaw cycles. In fact, this time of year is known to the Perfect Power Wash team as “Concrete Season” due to the high demand from responsible homeowners who want to ensure they maximize the lifespan of their concrete surfaces and avoid costly repairs or replacement.
DECADES OF PERFECTION
Adam Hood, President and CEO at Perfect Power Wash, told us how their team has spent the past two-plus decades perfecting this process. “We’ve helped beautify and maintain tens of thousands of driveways and concrete patios over the past 20+ years,” said Hood. “Our process is, well, perfect.”
“First, we apply a cleanser to the concrete surface to help loosen all the dirt and other contaminants that sit on the surface and reside in the pores. We follow that up with our high-pressure surface cleaner that works with the cleanser to eradicate dirt and grime.
Next, we thoroughly rinse the surface with fresh water.
Last— and most importantly— we apply our proprietary siloxane-silane sealer to prevent cracking, chipping, and pitting.”
Their proprietary siloxane-silane sealer has only improved over the past few years and is now the strongest available on the market.
“We’re constantly improving the mix with our sealer and cleansers to make sure we’re using the absolute best products for our customers,” said Hood. “We’ve spent years refining and perfecting our sealer— it’s one of many things that sets us apart in this industry.”
