Paver Sealing Process

Seal My Pavers

Seal My Pavers brings over three decades of hands-on experience to every project. Our job is to get your brick pavers as clean as possible, and that starts with using the right equipment. Our commercial-grade power washing equipment helps get the dirty work done and reduce the need for harmful chemicals.

We begin with a visual inspection of the pavers, noting problem areas that may need extra attention during cleaning.

How We Clean Your Pavers

1. We use a commercial-grade pressure washer rated at 4,000 PSI, adjusting our cleaning approach to the surface. We wash the pavers and joints, then check the area again to ensure it is clean and ready for the next step.

How do we give your pavers a thorough clean?
2. Our equipment provides high-heat steam cleaning at up to 350°F. We use walk-behind surface cleaners for the main areas and wands for detailed work.

3. We then pressure wash around all edges, corners, columns, etc. Pool areas also get detailed around the pool screen, pool coping, hot tubs, and other water features. The wand helps remove paint spots, mortar, grease, and more from the surface of your pavers.

Rinsing the Paver Area

4. After the washing process, we thoroughly rinse all dirt and debris from the paver area. Flushing the mold and algae from the paver joints is a key part of the rinsing process. Once the pavers are cleaned and rinsed thoroughly, we can then see the actual condition of the pavers, remove additional stains, etc.

Algaecide Deep Treatment

5. Some paver systems need our exclusive algaecide deep treatment where the paver joints are flooded with our algaecide/sodium hypochlorite mixture and allowed to dwell, which will help kill additional mold and weeds between paver joints and under the paver system. This is a particularly important step with older paver systems and thin paver systems that are laid over concrete. After the appropriate dwell time, we then rinse all pavers again with this process.

Applying the Sealer

6. We apply our solvent-based acrylic sealer with a 9-inch roller with a 3/4-inch nap. Rolling provides thorough coverage across the paver faces and joints, helping the sealer penetrate the surface and form a protective barrier.

The sealer enhances the natural colors of your pavers and helps protect their appearance.

Applying sealer into the paver joints helps stabilize the sand. We use roller application for our solvent-based acrylic sealer to achieve consistent coverage on the surface and between the pavers.

Finishing the Job

7. After the sealer is applied, we recommend waiting 24 hours to return furniture to patios, and 48 hours before driving vehicles on driveways or paver roadways.
