Preventative Maintenance Solutions
Protect and Preserve Your Commercial Sidewalks
Maintaining the concrete sidewalks around your commercial property in Ontario is crucial for safety, aesthetics, and longevity. At Clean & Seal Solutions Inc., we offer professional sealing services using INTRAGUARD by W. R. Meadows to provide long-term protection and enhance the appearance of your sidewalks.
Why Seal Your Sidewalks?
Winter weather in Ontario necessitates the use of salt for de-icing, which can cause significant damage to concrete surfaces. Sealing your sidewalks with INTRAGUARD offers numerous benefits:
Water Repellency: Prevents water penetration and reduces freeze-thaw damage.
Salt Resistance: Protects against the harmful effects of salt, extending the lifespan of your sidewalks.
Stain Resistance: Shields against oils and other contaminants.
Enhanced Safety: Well-maintained sidewalks reduce the risk of accidents and potential lawsuits.
Importance for Commercial Properties
For commercial properties, maintaining safe and attractive sidewalks is essential. Proper sealing ensures your sidewalks remain durable and safe, reducing the risk of slip-and-fall accidents that could lead to costly lawsuits. In regions with harsh winters, sealing is especially critical to prevent salt damage.
Efficient and Convenient Application
At Clean & Seal Solutions Inc., we understand the importance of minimizing disruption to your business. Our cleaning and sealing process can be conducted overnight, ensuring no interference with your daily operations. INTRAGUARD sealers dry to the touch within an hour, allowing pedestrian traffic to resume quickly.
