When we handle concrete sealing for concrete in Kenner, LA, it comes down to three things: protecting your plants and property, cleaning with the right method, and walking the job with you at the end. For concrete, that means pressure wash with a surface cleaner.
How we clean it
Cleaning solution: A degreaser for oil spots and a pre-treatment for organic growth; post-treatment slows regrowth.
What to know about cleaning concrete
Plain broom-finish concrete is the surface pressure washing is made for. A rotary surface cleaner gives an even finish without the stripes a wand leaves, and hot water helps with grease and oil.
Avoid: Holding a narrow tip close to the surface, which etches lines into the cream layer of the concrete.
How often: Every year, or every 6 months in shaded, damp spots.

- Applying too thick a coat, which peels
What happens on the day

- Repair cracks where needed

Concrete Sealing for Concrete in Kenner, LA
Shaded driveways, walkways and pool decks in Louisiana grow black mildew and algae quickly and can become slippery. Pre-treating the growth before washing, and post-treating after, keeps them clean longer than pressure alone.
Spring pollen season in Louisiana coats houses, cars, screens and patios in a yellow-green film, and pollen gives mildew something to feed on. Many homeowners book their wash after pollen season ends so the house stays clean longer.

Is concrete sealing for concrete 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.

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.
