SIDEWALK AND DRIVEWAY PRESSURE WASHING AND RESTORATION


 Algae growth on sidewalks, oil stains on your driveway, moss and grass growing between paving stones -will make your property look neglected.  Algae and moss on your driveway or sidewalk can make the surface very slippery when wet and can cause slip and fall accidents.  Pressure washing is one sure way to correct that problem.  Eco-Green Power Washing and Restorations can make your sidewalks and driveways look new again.  Professional equipment including industrial hot water power washer,  hot water surface cleaners and environment friendly detergents will restore your concrete or interlock driveway to its original look.  We will make sure that all of the walls, plants and fences around the cleaned area are rinsed off any debris.  In case of interlock stone we will replace any sand washed out by the power washer.

In order to further enhance and protect the freshly cleaned surfaces we can seal them with high end professional quality eco-friendly sealer, which will also greatly reduce algae, moss and dirt from reappearing and reduce water damage.   Professional crack repair of concrete sidewalks and driveways will prevent further water damage.  Using professional grade caulk and its proper application will prevent the seal from breaking due to movement of concrete slabs.

IMPORTANCE AND PURPOSE OF CAULKING







“Caulking is one of several different processes to seal joints or seams in various structures and certain types of piping. The oldest form of caulking is used to make the seams in wooden boats or ships watertight, by driving fibrous materials into the wedge-shaped seams between planks” 1



The Importance of caulking is often overlooked when it comes to building maintenance. Caulking is more than just a purely cosmetic method to correct or finish imperfections in wood, metal and other common materials. Caulking prevents water, dirt and insects from penetrating the exterior building envelope causing structural damage or infestation. It can also make homes more energy efficient by preventing drafts, and heat loss. In short, it can solve many problems that are routinely encountered by the average home-owner.

Properly sealing windows, door frames, cracks, taps and electrical outlets will prevent water damage and mold between the walls of the house. Very small breaks in old caulking anywhere on the exterior of a building can cause a leak that may go unnoticed for years. If left unchecked, poor caulking and tiny leaks can lead to very costly repairs. Since building materials contract and expand with changes in temperature and humidity, annual inspections and repair (if required) of exterior caulking is recommended. A 5 dollar tube of sealant can prevent thousands of dollars worth in repairs a few years down the road

It is important to use proper sealant according to material being caulked; exposure to water, humidity, temperature makes a difference as well. Premium sealants and caulks are recommended.
