The Advantages of Infrared Repairs

April 19th, 2015

asphalt repairThere are two difficult things about asphalt: laying it down and taking it up.  The difference between them, besides the purpose of the action, is the complexity of the process.  Laying asphalt is relatively simple, if time consuming.  However, taking it up requires a lot of labor, using lots of tools and machines—or it used to before infrared technology.  This new process allows asphalt to be taken up and reused far more quickly, resulting in a simpler process that recycles the old asphalt into a new form on-site.

Have you got cracks in your concrete or asphalt?

This past winter was full of snow and that meant lots of potholes for spring. Now, we’ve got to watch out for little plants pushing their way through the cracks in your pavement. The reason your concrete or asphalt might crack is two-fold. The first reason that might contribute is moisture, and we’ve had a lot of that. The second thing that can lead to cracking is a lot of changes in temperature. With this past winter, we’ve had a lot of both. So, let’s check out some ways you can minimize the cracks in your pavement. Read the rest of this entry »

Caring for Your Concrete

April 3rd, 2015

concrete drivewayWhen you have a concrete driveway, patio, or other structure on your property, you might want to think about caring for it as well as you can. You want your concrete to last as long as possible so that you don’t have to replace it for a long time. Caring for your concrete is easy and cost effective for your property in the long run. Let’s take a look at some of the things you can do to care for your concrete.

Sealant is Your Friend

Placing a sealing coat onto your concrete will be incredibly helpful down the line. Make sure to invest in a proper sealant so that you know your investment will last. After all, your concrete will probably be taking quite a beating depending on where it is placed. A concrete driveway will certainly experience a sizable amount of wear and tear. If you placed sealant on your concrete a long time ago, then you may want to reseal it. It’s better to protect the concrete you have rather than replacing it.

 Keep Stains at Bay

Stains on your concrete can be unsightly and worsen over time. You should try and keep your concrete as stain-free as possible, but if you happen to get something like oil or grease on your concrete then you can get it cleaned. Power washing your concrete is probably a good idea. You can also use chemicals, but be careful. Some chemicals may damage the concrete over time and then you might have to replace it. Rock salt is famous for hurting concrete, so make sure to keep your concrete clean year round. There shouldn’t be too much of that anymore, but considering all the snow we had this past winter, you might want to inspect your concrete surfaces.

If you think your concrete could use some sealant or a new coat of sealant then give us a call! We are more than happy to help you figure out the best way of protecting your concrete surface both big and small.
