Why Consider Professional Service over DIY Concrete Sealing

Sealing concrete isn’t as simple as pressure cleaning it and spraying a sealer down. There are dozens of factors that come into play on every single job, which will depend on application time, method, saturation requirement, and whether it can be done at that moment during the concrete sealing process. 

There are so many technical factors to sealing concrete that we highly discourage anyone from doing a DIY project that requires both expertise and intensive labor, especially if the concrete to be sealed takes up a large space. 

The Advantages and Disadvantages of DIY Concrete Sealing Projects 

At first, it may seem that DIY concrete sealing projects are as easy as pie, especially if you watched YouTube videos of the process. However, in reality, many homeowners found out that, in the end, concrete sealing requires specific skills and techniques that cannot be accomplished through DIY. 

Another concern is that the concrete sealing chemicals sold online or in DIY shops are often not generally applicable to all types of concrete makeup. Hence, once applied for sealing, they often cause more wear out than protection for the surface being treated. 

Going into the decision to do a concrete sealing project based on DIY strategies requires more than just the guts to start and complete the project. It also requires that you be ready for all the possible problems that may occur along the way. 

You may be thinking, what could go wrong if I seal concrete by myself? Some clients who went with a DIY approach first before calling professional help say that their problems range from simple to more severe range of caring for and protecting their concrete pavements. Ground moisture levels play a significant part in sealing – every job we perform gets a moisture test to ensure the product will not have any adverse reactions. Something that can happen when concrete isn’t sealed correctly is moisture can become trapped between the concrete and the sealant, turning your surface white or yellow. Requiring a VERY COSTLY (usually $5/sq ft) stripping of the failed sealant and re-application.

Hence, while it may seem that you can save a lot by choosing the DIY Concrete Sealing option, you may find later that this condition could be subjected to several problems if not handled carefully. Just make sure that as you do this, you have contact with a professional concrete maintenance team ready just in case anything wrong happens. 

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Hiring Professional Help 

While many may assume that DIY Concrete Sealing is more cost-practical, the many problems that occur while accomplishing these tasks make this option of concrete sealing much more problematic than helpful.
