• Seal the Deal

To prevent stains and moisture damage to your
concrete, it should be sealed. While concrete may
appear to be as solid as rock, it actually is
very porous. Concrete absorbs water, which can
lead to staining and pitting of the surface.
Applying a sealer can help protect your concrete
and extend the life of the material. There are
different types of concrete sealers available.
Always follow the manufacturers directions when
applying a sealer.

Avoid Deicing Chemicals

• It can be important to avoid certain
  chemicals when cleaning, staining, or sealing
  concrete. For example, deicers that work through
  the sealer can cause damage to the concrete.
  Fertilizer can also stain your concrete. if
  staining does occur, clean it away quickly. Read
  instructions carefully for chemicals and cleaners
  used on concrete before use.

Remove Stains

• You should clean oil or other stains from
  concrete as soon as they arise. Oil, for example,
  can cause discoloration and staining if it is not
  immediately cleaned from your driveway. This will
  help to preserve its look and keep it in good
  condition.

Cold Conditions

• Pits and pop-outs are a common form of
  concrete damage caused by extreme cold. These
  cosmetic flaws do not compromise the integrity of
  your concrete, but they do cause unsightly
  cracks. Sealing the holes will prevent water from
  penetrating the concrete and freezing, which can
  help reduce this type of damage.

Water Stains Discoloration 

• Water should not be left on concrete
  surfaces for long periods of time, as it could
  lead to the formation of mould spots, making the
  surface slippery. Exposed concrete surfaces
  should be sloped to allow rainwater to drain off
  or they should be cleaned immediately after a
  spill to reduce the chances of damage or
  discoloration. A powerful hose can be used to
  keep patios, driveways, and retaining walls free
  of dirt and debris.
