Keeping Your Concrete Surfaces Intact

Concrete is a durable and sturdy material. But even with all of this sturdiness, it can fall prey to cracking, breaking, and more. Precision Soft Wash LLC has some tips and tricks for you on how to make sure that your concrete surfaces stay intact and look good all year long.

Inspect The Area

The first thing we must do before acting on anything is to inspect the concrete surfaces. You don't need to take a magnifying glass to every inch of the surface, but just give it a simple once-over. If you see any large cracking or missing chunks, this can be due to extreme heat or water damage.

Maintain Your Plants And Trees

If you have trees or large plants rooted near a concrete surface, the roots may cause issues at one point or another. If the roots are anywhere near the surface and are growing underneath the concrete, they can push up against the concrete and cause extreme breakage and even raise the surface of the concrete.

If this happens, you may need to trim down or even remove the tree/plant. You might also need to replace the entire concrete surface. One way to prevent all of this work is to regularly maintain the trees and plants with roots surrounding your concrete surfaces.

Keep Water And Pollutants Off

Water, if left to pool on a concrete surface, can cause damage to the concrete. It can seep into the grooves of the concrete and create cracks or even potholes.

To avoid this headache, make sure your concrete is free of pooled water and puddles. You'll also want to keep off any sort of pollutants like grime, mold, algae, and dirt. A surefire way to get rid of them is by investing in pressure washing surfaces to keep them clean all year long, like driveway washing or sidewalk cleaning.
