Much
like any material exposed to the outdoor elements, concrete
requires proper care in terms of protection & maintenance.
The sun's UV rays, rain, snow, freezing temperatures, oil,
gas, & chemicals all combine to produce wear & tear on
your concrete surfaces.
The
day your flatwork is poured, Lambert Concrete sprays
a cure & seal agent on the concrete after it is finished.
However, new sealer should be re-applied within the first
year (especially before the first winter season) &
every 3-5 years thereafter to guarantee the best protection
through the winter months. Call Lambert Concrete to receive
a free
estimate
on a professionally
applied concrete sealer that's right for your driveway.
Freezing
temperatures cause the most damage to concrete. Please
read Lambert Concrete's "Cold
Facts" concerning
flatwork, salt, de-icers, & the damaging elements introduced
during the winter weather months.
One
of the most common complaints about concrete is that it
cracks. Cracks in poured concrete walls & flatwork
may be unsightly, but are often not cause for concern.
Please read the following CFA
article concerning concrete cracks. Urethane and epoxy crack
injection is
a professional service performed by Lambert Concrete's Specialty
Services Division.
