Concrete flooring is built to endure heavy day-to-day traffic, but it’s also susceptible to cracks and other damages. Tri-State Coatings & Repair advises homeowners to take one simple step to protect your concrete driveways, walls, and more. This is the regular application of a concrete sealer or floor coating. Consider these reasons why concrete sealer is such a big deal:

• Waterproof the Surface: The main culprit for cracks in concrete surfaces is water absorption. As a remedy, your flooring contractor from Tri-State Coatings & Repair will paint over the entire surface with a non-slip floor coating, which acts as a waterproof barrier. Your flooring contractor will also know the best brand and type of sealer to use.
• Create a Healthier Home: How can one sealer application make your home healthier? The explanation is quite simple. Without a sealer, your concrete surfaces absorb water, which then creates excess moisture in the home. Excess moisture becomes the perfect breeding ground for mold growth, which can be hard to eradicate. A sealer solves the issue before it even starts.
• Increase the Appeal: A floor coating or sealer will leave a polished concrete finish, which makes it more attractive compared to leaving it bare.

Ultimately, a concrete sealer will extend the life of your concrete flooring, walls, and more. Experts at Tri-State Coatings & Repair recommend applying these at least once per year as a preventative measure.

Winter is fast approaching, which means your concrete surfaces will be more susceptible to cracks and leaks. To protect your concrete flooring against the harsh climate, call Tri-State Coatings & Repair today at (513) 777-1234.
