Paver Cleaning and Sealing Services

Your pavers contribute to the aesthetic look of your home. Pavers sometimes function as driveways and, because of this, are constantly under the heavy force of a vehicle. If you don’t seal them, pavers will likely grow grass and accumulate dirt at the joints. This look can be unsightly, and it will be hard to remove once the grass and dirt have been lodged in between the tile spaces.

Many manufacturers will say that it is not necessary to seal in pavers, but it is better to be safe and apply a sealant. That way, you can be sure that your pavers are protected. The maintenance of pavers is crucial to keep their beauty.

Here are just some important reasons why you should maintain your pavers by washing and sealing them:

If you don’t seal your pavers, it can be a big hassle. Pavers will require more frequent cleaning and will collect more dirt and grime easily. Not only that, but unsealed pavers also get stains and blotches more easily, and, in some cases, these will be hard or impossible to remove.

An unsealed paver is a porous material that will eventually collect and trap water. When you apply a sealant, the pavers harden, including the joint and gaps. There is also a protective water-resistant surface that forms after a sealant, allowing water to flow through and empty to the drainage.

If your paver does not have proper drainage, there are chances that water will accumulate and cause vegetation to grow along with the gaps of your pavers. It is important to have proper drainage in your paver area, as well as have a sealant in between the joints where sand sometimes collects. The sealant hardens the sand, making weeds and vegetation impossible to grow.

Your pavers are exposed to shifts of weather from sunny to rainy. The materials of your pavers are under a lot of stress, especially when there is continuous rainfall. Water accumulated on the pavers and unsealed pavers will cause the water to enter the tiny holes on the stone, eroding it over time. A sealant helps prevent water from entering the microscopic holes in your pavers.

Sealants harden the surface of the paver and strengthen it. Sealants also have a gluey and sticky consistency, which can keep your pavers from having cracks. Having a sealant will also prevent pavers from loosening because the sealant hardens the material, keeping it in place.
