7 Ways To Protect Your Concrete Driveway

Best Ice Melt For Driveway

Driveways are one of the most heavily used areas of your home, and they are frequently overlooked until they become stained or cracked. Make repairs as soon as possible to give them the attention they deserve. You may not realize the extent of the damage until the snow melts. Safe Paw is an ice melt that won’t damage concrete. 

You can not only extend the life of your driveway and give it a more appealing appearance in the future, but you can also save money in the long run.

1-Use A Chemical-Free Ice Melt

Most ice melts include chlorine in some form or another. Ice melt consisting of salt or chemicals is not only terrible for the environment, but it is also hazardous for pets. 

Safe Paw is one such safe ice melt product that can be used around pets and children without harming concrete sidewalks.

2-Fill Cracks.

If you notice any cracks or holes, patch them right away. Before putting a crack filler and patching compound, remove loose particles with a masonry chisel and brush out the debris.

Seal the entire driveway after the compound has dried. When visitors come to your house, making sure your driveway is smooth, and level can help prevent tripping accidents.

3-Reduce The Amount Of Water On The Driveway.

Clear a 2-3 inch strip around the driveway’s edges. It will provide a runoff area for snow and water, reducing the likelihood of penetrating the surface. Downspouts should also empty into the yard rather than onto the driveway.

4-Do Not Add Salt To The Cement.

Cracks can be caused by cement salt and chemical deicers penetrating surfaces. Both need to be fixed. On icy driveways, instead of salting, use a safe paw. It can also be used to melt ice on sidewalks, parking lots, and other surfaces. It is an ice melt that won’t damage concrete as it is free of harmful chemicals such as chlorine, magnesium. It is made up of ammonia and has a patented formula.

5- Plow With Care.

When shoveling on uneven surfaces, use a plastic shovel to reduce the risk of catching on the driveway. Raise the snow plow blade high enough to avoid scraping and damaging the driveway surface. Then, either push the snow to the side and shovel it off or remove it with ice melt that is safe for concrete as you work your way down to the ground.

6-Keep The Edges Safe.

Heavy trucks aren’t designed for driveways, believe it or not. Edges are particularly prone to chipping when subjected to excessive force. As a result, make sure your car is parked away from the edges, and that construction vehicles do not park there during house renovations.

7-Make Sure Your Driveway Is Clean.

More than just the appearance of your vehicle is affected by removing stains caused by motor oil, radiator fluid, and other similar substances. To absorb fresh oil, use non-clumping kitty litter, followed by a dishwashing detergent that dissolves grease and warm water.
