You can help protect your concrete and asphalt surfaces from destructive weather conditions by following these steps:
- Clean Surfaces: Before applying any protective coating, make sure to clean the surfaces thoroughly to remove any dirt, debris, or oil stains. You can use a pressure washer or a degreaser for this purpose.
- Apply a Sealer: Apply a high-quality concrete or asphalt sealer to protect the surface from water damage, freeze-thaw cycles, and UV rays. These sealers will help prevent cracking, spalling, and fading.
- Fix Cracks and Potholes: If you notice any cracks or potholes on the surface, it is important to repair them before applying a sealer. Use a concrete or asphalt repair product to fill in any gaps or holes.
- Maintain the Surface: Regular maintenance is key to keeping your concrete and asphalt surfaces in good condition. Sweep away debris regularly and avoid using harsh chemicals or heavy equipment, if possible, that can damage the surface.
With consistent maintenance you can significantly prolong the life and durability of your concrete and asphalt surfaces, even in Oregon’s harshest weather conditions.
