Frost, Freezing, And Sealing Your Concrete Before Winter

We’ve already seen our first frost this fall in the Kansas City area, which means that that first hard freeze isn’t far behind. For homeowners and business owners that have unsealed sidewalks, patios, porches, outdoor living spaces, garages, and driveways, this is a wake-up call because most weather experts are predicting an above-average with colder temperatures and more snow/ice in the Midwest than in previous years. While that may sound great for a picture-perfect holiday scene, it can be disastrous for unsealed concrete surfaces as any trapped liquids that when frozen can expand by up to 9% or more when salt is present, causing tiny fractures at first but eventually leading to visible cracking and enormous costs to homeowners that aren’t typically covered by insurance.

Concrete and Driveway Sealing Near Kansas City, Lees Summit, and Pleasant Hill, MO

At Rock Solid Concrete Sealing Systems, we’ve spent years researching and testing all types of concrete sealants and have found that most of them simply don’t stand up to the rollercoaster temperature swings and freeze/thaw cycles that we see in the Kansas City area. We choose to use the most proven, effective, and lasting seals, but obviously, there are varying types of concrete, and we have the specific sealant for each one. For standard concrete like you might find on your sidewalk, porch, driveway, or garage floor, we use a deep penetrating sealer that protects not only the exterior but also the internal elements, including rebar, which can rust or corrode if unsealed. For decorative concrete surfaces (i.e., stained/stamped/colored), we use a non-acrylic, non-slip sealant that not only protects but also restores the colors and contour of faded, chalky-looking concrete.

Our polyaspartic seal combines superior protection and stylish functionality to homeowners that don’t want to settle for just a dull, grey garage floor, and it can be applied throughout the winter months, unlike our other sealants that require the ground temperature to be at least 38 degrees or warmer. With winter looming on the horizon, now is the time to make sure your concrete surfaces are sealed, protected, and ready for whatever mother nature delivers this year.
