Concrete Cleaning in Beaverton, Tigard, and Lake Oswego

Chem-Tec One, which is actually a “preservative and densifier”, is like adding liquid concrete to your existing driveway or sidewalk. Once added to the concrete, the “sealer”, which is the same consistency as water, penetrates deeply into the substrate. There it begins a chemical reaction with the calcium and lime that exists in the concrete. As it reacts, it forms a gel that over time will harden and permanently fill the pores of the concrete. In addition, as it hardens, it pushes out contaminants such as oil and salt that lie within the concrete. This process takes about 30 days and the old salt and oil are then washed away with rain or snow.

Compared to the less expensive sealers on store shelves which are silicone-based and are nothing but surface sealers that wear off quickly, Chem-Tec One, as a concrete sealer, is a permanent product. Once applied, especially with our 2-coat application, it should not have to be reapplied for 5-20 years depending on the structure type and use. So not only is it significantly more effective, but it is more cost-effective in the long run.
