Let’s face it. Plain concrete gets boring incredibly fast. Sure, grey may be a popular color for home design, but not concrete grey. Concrete resurfacing offers a way to update the look of boring concrete and provide waterproofing protection in one process. It’s like a dynamic duo of protecting and beautifying at the same time. Batman and Robin have nothing on concrete resurfacing!

Essential Waterproof Protection

Concrete surfaces provide a hard, stable surface for walking, sitting, and even parking vehicles. But that doesn’t mean it stands up to everything nature and people throw its way.

Concrete looks solid, but it consists of many microscopic pores and capillaries. These create gateways to moisture penetration. And moisture penetration equals moisture damage.

Once moisture penetrates concrete, the problems start. If moisture reaches the metal reinforcing material, it causes corrosion. This results in flaking and cracking, and a weakening of the overall integrity of the concrete.

Waterproofing Plus

Concrete resurfacing protects against more than just moisture. Unfortunately, the water around pools in particular carries harmful chemicals that degrade concrete with repeated exposure. When you apply a waterproof coating to your deck, you protect your concrete against chemical intrusion as well.

Excess moisture creates an ideal environment for mold and mildew growth. Both of these create slippery and unsightly surfaces. Then there are the health concerns regarding mold. So, keeping water away stops this problem before it starts.
