Protect Your Concrete With TFS
Many homeowners overlook the importance of maintaining their concrete surfaces until they notice issues like cracks or sinking in driveways, sidewalks, patios, or garage slabs. Unfortunately, by the time these problems become visible, the underlying issues have often worsened. Factors such as soil softening, shifting, or erosion due to water seepage can lead to uneven concrete surfaces, creating unsightly, hazardous areas. However, the good news is that you can protect your concrete and prevent these issues with TFS’s long-lasting solutions. We offer free inspections for homeowners in Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, and Alabama.
Why Concrete Settles and Cracks
Concrete slabs lose support when the soil beneath them becomes weak or erodes, leading to cracking or settling. This not only creates trip hazards but also diminishes curb appeal. Key contributors to these problems include
Water Erosion:
- Firstly, water penetrating through cracks and joints washes away the soil, creating voids and undermining support.
Weather Exposure:
- Additionally, weather changes can cause some sealants to dry out, crack, or bubble, exacerbating the problem.
How NexusPro® Protects Your Concrete
To protect your concrete effectively, TFS offers NexusPro® Joint Sealant. This highly flexible, silicone-based material seals out water and debris, ensuring the longevity of your concrete surfaces. Here’s why NexusPro® stands out:
Durable Flexibility:
- Firstly, its silicone base allows it to handle the natural movement of concrete without cracking or peeling.
Weather-Resistant:
- Additionally, NexusPro® withstands extreme weather conditions, maintaining effectiveness in high and low temperatures.
UV Protection:
- Overall, it resists UV rays, preventing drying, bubbling, or yellowing, which are common in many other sealants.
Quick Application:
- Additionally, it dries quickly, allowing the use of the concrete surface soon after application.
Long-Lasting Solution:
- Lastly, unlike traditional caulking, NexusPro® lasts over 20 years.
Why DIY or Store-Bought Caulking Doesn’t Measure Up
While it might seem cost-effective to use store-bought polyurethane-based caulk, these products degrade quickly under sunlight, leading to bubbling and cracking. Improper installation or failing caulking can allow water to seep beneath the concrete, weakening the soil and accelerating damage. For a lasting solution, a professional application is essential to truly protect your concrete.
Already Have Caulked Joints? Get Them Checked
Even if you’ve already caulked your concrete joints, it’s wise to have them inspected. Improper installation or low-quality materials can allow moisture to seep through, compromising the soil and causing further issues over time.
