B-Level provides Columbus concrete caulking as an add-on to our lifting and leveling services. Caulking fills cracks and seams in concrete, including sidewalks, patios, porches, and driveways, for a smooth and protected surface. Caulking allows us to protect concrete against erosion, improve its appearance, and prevent weed growth.
Benefits of Concrete Caulking
- Stop water intrusion and protect concrete against sinking or heaving
- Keep dirt and debris out of cracks for clean-looking concrete
- Prevent plants, weeds, and insects from coming up through openings in the concrete
- Improve the look of your concrete by sealing unsightly cracks
Our Process for Columbus Concrete Caulking
Our professionals begin by grinding the seam or crack to create a clean and bondable surface. Then, we use a material called backer rod to put in the crack. Finally, we apply a polyurethane sealant specifically formulated for concrete to the seam, providing a long-lasting solution.
Unlike some of our competitors who caulk on the same day as concrete lifting or grinding, B-Level returns to complete the caulking process on a separate day. Our reason for doing this is to ensure the concrete is completely dry, which is crucial for proper caulk adhesion and longevity.
B-Level also provides multiple color options for concrete caulking in Columbus. Our wide range of colors allows for better matching to your concrete’s specific color than the limited options offered at stores for DIY projects.
We Use the Highest Quality Materials and Techniques
B-Level exclusively uses professional-grade materials and techniques to caulk your concrete. We use high-quality polyurethane caulk rather than the self-leveling caulk typically used in DIY applications.
After the caulk is applied to the seam or crack, it usually forms a rounded line. Properly shaping and smoothing this line of caulk is essential to ensure the caulk fully contacts both sides of the crack. This process is known as “striking a bead,” and it allows our professionals to remove excess caulk, create a uniform appearance, and improve the seal’s effectiveness.
This technique requires significant practice but is essential for the process. A properly “struck” bead of caulk will have a neat, finished look and provide optimal sealing performance. Our professionals are highly trained and experienced in this process for a stunning final result.
