Deep Cleaning for Pavers
Pavers are a popular choice for outdoor living surfaces due to their durability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. It is important to know that over time, exposure to the elements and regular use can take a toll on pavers, leading to dirt buildup, stains, and other forms of damage. Deep cleaning for pavers is essential to restore their appearance and prolong their lifespan.
Importance of Hot Water Pressure Wash by Professional Paver Cleaners
One of the most effective methods for deep cleaning pavers is a hot water pressure wash using a specific head. This process involves using high-temperature water and specialized cleaning and/or stripping products to remove various types of stains, old sealer, and debris from the surface of the pavers.
During a hot water pressure wash, water heated up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit is used to clean the pavers thoroughly. This high temperature helps to dissolve tough stains like oil, grease, old sealers, rust, and tire marks, leaving the pavers looking fresh and rejuvenated.
Adding Missing Joint Sand
In addition to cleaning the surface of the pavers, it’s essential to address any issues with joint sand. Joint sand plays a crucial role in stabilizing pavers and preventing them from shifting or becoming uneven over time. During the cleaning process, any missing joint sand is carefully replaced to ensure the structural integrity of the paver surface.
Important: Adding sealer on top of old sealer can lead to undesirable consequences. The application of new sealer over existing sealer will result in the pavers turning white, which is an aesthetically unpleasing outcome. To avoid this issue, it is crucial to have professionals strip the old sealer and then resealing the surface. This ensures a clean and effective sealing process that maintains the integrity and appearance of the pavers.
Benefits of Sealing Pavers
After cleaning and replacing joint sand, sealing the pavers is highly recommended. Paver sealers provide an additional layer of protection, helping to shield the pavers from damage caused by UV rays, moisture, car and foot traffic. Sealed pavers are also easier to clean and maintain, and the sealer can enhance the natural colors of the pavers, giving them a vibrant appearance.
Small Paver Repairs
In addition to cleaning and sealing, it’s essential to address any minor damages to the pavers promptly. Small repairs, such as filling in cracks or replacing chipped pavers, can prevent more significant issues from developing and extend the lifespan of the pavers.

Paver sealers are an essential component of paver maintenance, providing an additional layer of protection against moisture, UV rays, and other environmental factors. The application of a quality paver sealer can significantly extend the lifespan of the pavers and keep them looking beautiful for years to come.
