Sealant Pro Application: Concrete Protection at Sun City Home
Background:
On November 8th, 2023, a three-part job involving concrete lifting, joint sealing with Nexus Pro, and the application of Sealant Pro was executed on the driveway and walkway of a residence in Sun City.
Objective:
The primary objective of the project was to enhance the longevity and durability of the concrete surfaces. Sealant Pro, chosen for its protective properties, was applied to create a shield on the driveway surface, preventing water absorption into the concrete.
Process:
-
Concrete Lifting: A concrete lifting process was employed to address any unevenness or settling in the driveway and walkway surfaces. This involved injecting specialized material beneath the concrete to restore and level the surface.
-
Joint Sealing with Nexus Pro: Nexus Pro, a durable and flexible joint sealant, was applied to the concrete joints. This served to prevent water intrusion and minimize the risk of joint deterioration over time.
-
Sealant Pro Application: Sealant Pro, designed to act as a protective shield, was then applied to the entire surface of the driveway. The application formed a barrier, preventing water from being absorbed into the concrete.
Purpose of Sealant Pro:
Concrete, when exposed to water, has the tendency to absorb it, which can lead to long-term issues. Sealant Pro acts as a protective barrier on the concrete surface. Instead of water being absorbed, it forms beads on the surface, allowing it to either roll off or evaporate. This property significantly reduces the risk of water-induced damage, extending the life of the concrete.
Solution
Results:
The application of Sealant Pro on the driveway and walkway surfaces produced tangible results. Water, instead of being absorbed, formed beads on the surface, demonstrating the effectiveness of the sealant in preventing water intrusion. The enhanced surface protection contributes to the overall durability and resilience of the concrete.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the Sealant Pro application at the Sun City home successfully addressed the potential issues associated with water absorption in concrete. The three-part job, including concrete lifting, joint sealing with Nexus Pro, and the application of Sealant Pro, aimed at not only correcting existing concerns but also providing long-term protection against water-related damage.
Recommendations:
For homeowners considering concrete maintenance and protection, the Sealant Pro application, in conjunction with concrete lifting and joint sealing, proves to be a comprehensive solution. Regular inspections and maintenance, coupled with the application of protective sealants, can significantly extend the life and aesthetic appeal of concrete surfaces.
This case study provides factual insights into the process and benefits of applying Sealant Pro to concrete surfaces, offering a clear understanding of how this product contributes to the preservation and longevity of driveways and walkways.
