A concrete driveway can be one of the best driveway as it is low in maintenance cost. However, no matter what materials you use for your driveway, it still needs to be maintained over its lifetime. It is important to maintain your driveway as a lowly maintained driveway may pose danger to both yourself and your vehicle.

This article will provide you some tips on how to maintain a concrete driveway.

concrete-crackTip #1

Clean your driveway occasionally. It is important to clean your driveway occasionally so that you can keep it looking at its best. The amount of traffic it receives will determine how often you will need to clean your driveway.

Tip #2

Resealing your concrete driveway when it is needed. Keeping it sealed is one of the best measures to prevent it from breaking apart. You should reseal the driveway every 2 years or so or when the driveway begins to show cracks and wears. Sealers should be available in every concrete material suppliers and hardware stores. If you are unsure what to get, contact your contractor for recommendations. There will not be any excuses not to reseal that crack on the driveway.

Tip #3

Remove any spills when you spot it. Although the sealer will be able to protect the concrete from any stain marks, it is still good to clean up any spills from oil, grease and liquid as soon as possible. However, if there are already stain marks there, you can always clean it by applying certain cleaning materials.

Tip #4

Do not use de-icing materials on concrete as it will cause scaling and damage to the concrete driveway. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT use products containing ammonium nitrates and ammonium sulphates as they are the most harmful to concrete and will directly harm the concrete chemically.

Tip #5

Maintain and treat it with care. With that said, concrete may be one of the most durable materials for pavements and driveways. However, it still needs to be handled with care. Do not go over the weight limit or putting heavy materials on these driveways as they are designed for residential uses. Avoid the use of metal blades when shoveling or plowing your driveway as it may cause scratch and scrape on the surface.

Tip #6

Always engage a contractor when you know that your driveway is beyond normal maintenance methods. For example if something happened to your driveway and the cracks or damages to it is severe to repair by yourself, always contact professional concrete driveway repair services to help you with it.

Now that you are familiar with these tips, I hope you can pass on the message to others so that they can maintain their concrete driveway the right way. Maintaining your concrete driveway may seem like a chore but doing it the right way will not only save you a lot of money but also create a safer environment for your family and friends.
