Common Sense Tips for Maintaining Your Driveway

Driveways are among the most utilized areas of your home, frequently overlooked up until they stain or break. Give them the attention they should have by making repair work quickly. Not only can you extend your driveway’s life and attractive appearance well into the future, you can conserve loan in the long term.
Think about these 7 suggestions to help you care for your driveway:

1. Prevent fractures

For driveways, avoidance indicates sealing concrete annually and sealing asphalt every few years to avoid water from penetrating, freezing and cracking. Tree and shrub roots can cause cracks by rising from underneath. The option is to eliminate trees near drives or have their roots cut away.

2. Fill fractures

If fractures or holes do appear, patch them instantly. Utilize a masonry chisel to remove loose products and brush out the debris before using a crack filler and patching substance. After the substance dries, seal the whole driveway Ensuring your driveway is smooth and level may also help in reducing tripping accidents when guests visit your home.

3. Decrease water on the driveway.

Clear a 2 to three-inch strip around the edges of the driveway to provide a runoff area for snow and water to minimize its opportunities of permeating the surface. Likewise, ensure that downspouts empty into the lawn rather than onto the driveway.

4. Do not salt cement

Cement salt and chemical de-icers can permeate surfaces, triggering cracks. Both need to be fixed. Rather of salting, utilize a snowblower or shovel to remove snow and use options like sand, coffee grounds, alfalfa meal or cat litter to make surface areas less slippery. To melt ice, consider spraying the surface area with sugar beet juice, which lowers the melting point of ice and is considered reliable in temperatures as low at -20 ° F.

5. Rake carefully

Raise the blade of your snow plow enough to ensure it does not scrape and harm the driveway surface area. If shoveling, use a plastic shovel for uneven surface areas to minimize its risk of catching on the driveway. Then, either push snow to the side and shovel that off or remove snow a few inches at a time while working your way earthward.

6. Protect the edges

Believe it or not, driveways aren’t developed for heavy trucks. Edges are particularly vulnerable, chipping under extreme weight. So ensure that your car is parked far from the edges which construction vehicles never park there throughout house improvement jobs.

7. Clean your driveway

Getting rid of spots caused by motor oil, radiator fluid and comparable compounds impacts more than your drive’s appearance. Motor fluids can penetrate approximately a quarter inch in concrete and can soften asphalt. Use non-clumping kitty litter to absorb fresh oil, followed by grease-cutting dishwashing cleaning agent and warm water. For older spots, attempt scrubbing the stain repeatedly with grease-cutting, naturally degradable cleaners. Make sure to use a regular scrub brush. A wire brush can harm the driveway’s surface.

Take advantage of your house with a clean, well-kept driveway. It not only improves curb appeal, but just lasts longer than drives that are overlooked. A little upkeep now can bring big returns later. Find out more about how house insurance can assist you protect your financial investment.
