Concrete Maintenance to Take You From Winter to Spring

Winter has come and is almost gone once again… It’s time to prepare for the springtime that is right around the corner! Make sure you and your concrete are ready for the temperature and weather change that is about to happen. Out with the snow and in with the rain!

Why Care For Concrete?

In the winter, there is a lot of preparation that comes with the possibility of water freezing. However, it is now time for post-winter projects to take place. Don’t neglect your concretes care— it needs regular maintenance just like the other elements of your home in order to keep it strong and beautiful for a long period of time. Be sure to consider your concrete a part of your spring projects this upcoming season!

Maintaining Your Concrete

The spring is a great time to inspect your concrete for any gaps, cracks, damage, etc. In the winter, the melted snow and ice often seep through cracks and refreeze, causing further damage to issues that may already be going on with your concrete. The constant freezing and thawing cause the cement to rise and fall, which creates cracks, gaps, and damage as well as messing with the leveling of the concrete. This task can seem overwhelming to some, and it can even be hard to identify the damage and what needs to be done for it. Hiring a professional is always a good option to ensure your concrete is being treated properly. This not only protects your concrete, but it also protects you.

Cleaning and Covering Cracks

If you find a lot of cracks when springtime comes around, resealing them is always a good option to upkeep them. All of the snow being gone from the winter also shows how dirty your concrete can get from the winter season. All of the salt and washed away snow and dirt can build up all over your home's concrete. This is why it is important to clean the concrete. It can be done through power washing, scrubbing, etc. Keep your concrete clean!
