Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: Can sealing my pavers or stone prevent the growth of algae?
• A: Sealing pavers or stone alters their properties but does not have the ability to modify the surrounding environment. If you have a damp and shaded backyard, sealing the stone or pavers will not change those conditions. However, sealing reduces the porosity of the surface, which can inhibit the growth of algae and make cleaning easier. While it is worth considering sealing in most cases, it is important to understand that sealing alone may not completely eliminate algae growth if the environmental conditions are conducive to its development. Additional measures, such as regular cleaning and maintenance, may be necessary to effectively manage algae growth in such situations.
• Q: What are the benefits of hiring a professional to seal my outdoor tiles?
• A: Organizing a professional to seal your outdoor tiles offers several benefits. Firstly, professionals have the expertise and knowledge to select the appropriate type of sealer for your specific tile material and outdoor conditions. They are familiar with industry standards and can ensure that the sealer is applied correctly and effectively. Additionally, professionals will thoroughly clean the tiles before sealing, removing any dirt, stains, or blemishes. This step is crucial as sealing over dirt or blemishes can lock them in, affecting the appearance and long-term durability of the tiles. By hiring a professional, you can have peace of mind that your outdoor tiles will be sealed to the highest standard, maximizing their protection and enhancing their overall aesthetic.
• Q: What can one expect during the floor sealing process when professionals arrive?
• A: When our professional team arrives to seal your floors, you can expect a thorough and transparent process. We will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the entire process, ensuring effective communication. The sealing process typically begins with the potential removal of any previous sealer, if necessary. The floor will then undergo meticulous cleaning and neutralization to eliminate dust, residues, and other substances that could affect the performance of the new sealer. Afterward, a fresh layer of sealer will be applied, allowing sufficient time for it to set and cure properly. This will restore your floors to their original appearance while providing enhanced protection. Additionally, the sealed floor will be easier to maintain, reducing the effort required for routine cleaning and upkeep.
• Q: How often should tiles be fully resealed?
• A: The recommended frequency for fully resealing tiles can vary depending on factors such as the type and quality of the sealer used and the expected lifespan of the sealer. It is advised to regularly assess the condition of the tiles and evaluate the effectiveness of the existing sealer. If there are visible signs of wear, staining, or diminished protection, it may be necessary to undertake a complete resealing process. The specific timing for resealing will depend on these factors, and it is important to consistently monitor the tile's condition and consult the manufacturer's guidelines or sealer recommendations to determine the appropriate intervals for full resealing.
• Q: Can accumulated efflorescence be removed from surfaces?
• A: Yes, it is possible to remove accumulated efflorescence from surfaces. We have the expertise and tools required for this task. Our process involves using effective efflorescence removers and employing specialized cleaning techniques. It is important to note that efflorescence is often caused by underlying issues such as leaks behind stones, tiles, or damaged grout lines. While we can successfully eliminate the visible efflorescence, it is crucial to address and resolve the root cause to prevent its reappearance in the future. By addressing both the efflorescence buildup and the contributing factors, we can restore the surface to its desired condition.
