It is often easier to prevent something from happening than it is to deal with it after it happens. This is especially true when it comes to your driveway. Winter will be here before we know it, and on top of everything an unsealed concrete driveway will endure, it’s also facing the onslaught of ice exposure and winter sidewalk deicers: all of which will wreak havoc on your concrete. The only way to make sure that you won’t have to make hefty crack repair next summer is to invest in a concrete sealer from Jaco Waterproofing this summer.

The professionals at Jaco Waterproofing have been in the waterproofing business since 1972, and they know that winter can mean a lot more trouble for your driveway than just holiday traffic. First, water that’s allowed to seep into an unsealed driveway is absorbed by concrete and turned to ice by cold weather. Since water expands as it freezes, that water seepage will widens any concrete gaps and makes new spalls and flakes in your concrete.

If you’re the conscientious homeowner who’s salting and deicing your driveway every winter, you’re exposing your driveway to further risk because of these chemicals. Not only is your driveway exposed to winter ice, but it must also contend with salt and deicers corroding the steel reinforcement in your concrete. It’s the perfect recipe for disaster!

Fortunately, the team at Jaco Waterproofing has the perfect antidote to solving your winter woes: concrete sealing. Beginning with a good cleaning, a Jaco Waterproofing team member will make sure all the impurities are removed from your driveway. Then, after drying, your concrete will be given a great coating to ensure optimum waterproofing.

Within just a few hours, the Jaco Waterproofing team can outfit your driveway with a no-gloss concrete finish that will protect your driveway from whatever winter will throw at it. What’s more you’ll only have to employ their team for this cost-effective protection every 2 to 3 years. Summer won’t be around forever.
