Perfect Power Wash - The Solid Truth About Concrete

AKRON, Ohio, Sept. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- With the late starting spring and an aggressive and extended freeze/thaw cycle last winter, it's imperative that homeowners take steps to protect concrete surfaces around their home before winter takes over again. 

If not properly maintained, the very porousness of the material, designed to absorb moisture, can make your driveway and patio susceptible to costly damage during the cold-weather months. This is because the water that accumulates inside the microscopic cavities of concrete turns to ice when the temperature drops below freezing.  When water freezes it expands - about 9% in volume.  This internal "swelling" damages the structure of the concrete, eventually causing costly cracks to appear on its surface.

Unfortunately, repairing this damage can be an expensive problem.  It can cost up to $3,000-$4,000 to repair a concrete driveway and tens of thousands of dollars to pour a new one, according to HomeAdvisor, depending on the driveway's size, severity of damage, and other factors. 

But the good news is that this cold-weather damage can be avoided with some easy preventative maintenance at a fraction of the cost. Local concrete expert Perfect Power Wash offers a fast and inexpensive concrete maintenance service that has been used by tens of thousands of homeowners throughout Northeast Ohio to safeguard their driveways, patios, stoops, walkways and front porches from winter's ravages. In fact, the Akron, Ohio-based company has maintained over 23 million square feet of concrete – over 400 football field's worth – making them the clear market leader in concrete maintenance.

Perfect Power Wash is relied on by so many homeowners because it offers a superior driveway protection process, which utilizes a chemical sealant called siloxane.  A compound of silicon, oxygen, and hydrogen, siloxane is safe and much more protective than the acrylic, silicone, and epoxy coatings that have traditionally been used on driveways. That's because siloxane penetrates below the surface of the concrete, unlike materials that merely coat the top and can be gradually worn away by sunlight, precipitation and automobile tires.

"Siloxane truly seals concrete surfaces.  It doesn't just coat them like many of these other treatments, which can eventually wear to allow water in," explained Mike Palubiak, owner of Perfect Power Wash.  "Siloxane provides total protection against dirt, water, and other contaminants, while allowing the concrete to breathe.  If you're not getting a siloxane sealant, you're not getting the best protection for your driveway or patio.  Our Concrete Wash & Seal service is the best way to clean and protect your concrete surfaces."

Palubiak, who started Perfect Power Wash over 18 years ago, knows the ins and outs of driveway protection perhaps better than anyone.   He helped write the standards on concrete maintenance for the PWNA (Power Washers of North America), the national trade group that serves the industry.

"This isn't something to put off – it's imperative that homeowners take action now before the next freeze/thaw cycle begins," says Palubiak.  "Delaying concrete protection significantly increases the risk of cracking, chipping, and pitting this winter."
