How to Water Proof Concrete

by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Concrete Since 1993 January 30, 2023

This post was most recently updated on January 30th, 2023

Water Proofing Concrete in 2023

Concrete Sealer Review remains a trusted resource for concrete sealer tips and advice from professionals. Here we have an updated article for 2023 on how to waterproof concrete to increase the lifespan of your concrete surfaces. Any questions? Feel free to leave us a comment with any pictures below.


Most concrete surfaces will last a very long time when they are properly maintained. Maintaining a concrete surface is no different than other surfaces, it just needs to be cleaned periodically and protected from the elements. Harsh weather and climate can take their toll on concrete that is not waterproofed. When water and moisture are able to penetrate the concrete, it can cause all types of problems. Most notably, constant moisture can create mold, mildew, and algae buildup. This can break down the concrete over time and is extremely unsightly. It can also create a slippery when wet surface, which can be dangerous.

In climates that see below-freezing weather in the Winter, freeze and thaw damage is very common. When moisture penetrates the concrete and freezes, it expands. This can cause chipping, cracking, and heaving of the concrete, literally breaking it up and ruining the structure. Repairing this type of damage can be costly. The good news is that it is avoidable with some regular maintenance. The best protection you can give any type of concrete surface is to waterproof it so water and moisture cannot penetrate the surface.

How to Seal Concrete Surfaces

How to Seal Concrete Surfaces 2023

We at Concrete Sealer Review are proud to be a trusted source for concrete and brick paver sealer professional tips and advice through 2023. Here we have an updated tutorial on how to seal your concrete surfaces. If you have sealed a concrete surface or have any questions, feel free to leave us a comment below.


Concrete is a very versatile material that can be used in many applications. It is most commonly used for driveways, sidewalks, porches, and patios. It can also be used for retaining walls, landscape edging, and other areas of construction. Concrete can last a very long time if it is maintained and protected from the elements. Unprotected concrete, especially in northern areas, can be subjected to freeze and thaw damage during the colder months. This most commonly causes cracking, chipping, and heaving of the concrete.

Ideally, you want to maintain the nice level clean surface that the concrete was when it was new. To stop any damaging effects it is important to maintain the concrete in several ways. First, the concrete needs to be cleaned periodically. This will remove contaminants such as dirt, grime, mold, and mildew, which can cause discoloration and attract and hold damaging moisture. In between cleaning maintenance, about every couple of years, the concrete should be sealed. This will help to waterproof the concrete so moisture cannot penetrate the surface. Sealing concrete is a great way to prevent freeze and thaw damage.

Sealing Different Types of Concrete Surfaces

This post was most recently updated on January 30th, 2023

Update Sealing Different Concrete Surfaces

We appreciate you visiting Concrete Sealer Review for 2023, your source for the latest tips and trends for your concrete and brick paver sealers. It is important to know how to approach a concrete sealer project. In this updated article, we give suggestions for how to seal different types of concrete surfaces. If you have any suggestions for how to seal different types of concrete or have any questions, please comment below.


Different Types of Concrete Surfaces that need to be sealed.

Decorative Concrete – This is any concrete surface that is not simply a means of construction but that is also altered to enhance its beauty. While still serving as an integral part of the building process such as floors, walls, driveways, or patios the concrete is also transformed into a decorative piece. The altering of concrete to enhance its beauty is accomplished through a number of procedures such as stamping, acid staining, polishing, coloring, overlaying, and more.

How to Water Proof Concrete

This post was most recently updated on January 30th, 2023

Update for 2023: Water Proof Concrete

In this updated article, we explain How to Water Proof Concrete. If you have encountered any issues and have any suggestions or have any questions, please comment below.


How to Water Proof Exterior Concrete, Brick, and Masonry

When water is able to penetrate the concrete, it can cause all sorts of damage. Water and moisture absorption causes concrete to swell, which can lead to pitting, cracking, and heaving. In colder climates, freeze and thaw damage is a major concern. As the water gets into the concrete and freezes it expands causing major damage if neglected.

To prevent damage to the concrete, the surface should be waterproofed. Waterproofing concrete creates a water repellent barrier to lock out moisture. This stops all water-related damage from occurring. In addition, waterproofing concrete will also prevent spills and stains from penetrating and potentially leaving permanent staining.

How to Seal Concrete Driveways

by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Concrete Since 1993 January 30, 2023

This post was most recently updated on January 30th, 2023

Update for 2023 – How to Seal Concrete Driveways

In this updated article, we explain How to Seal Concrete Driveways. If you have encountered any issues and have any suggestions or have questions, please comment below.


When it comes to protecting your concrete driveway, nothing can be more beneficial to its longevity than a concrete sealer. Concrete sealers provide protection from weather exposure, moisture, oil stains, tannin stains, deicing salts, and will protect from freeze/thaw damage. They enhance the natural beauty of the concrete and make it easier to clean and maintain in the future.

Preparing an existing concrete driveway for a sealer is vitally important. It is best to wash the surface with a pressure washer and a high-quality concrete cleaner. Dirt, mold, mildew, and all unsightly stains should be removed prior to applying a driveway sealer. If there are remnants of an old concrete sealer, it should be removed using a concrete sealer stripper prior to sealing.

SuperSeal M Concrete Water Repellent Review 2023

by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Concrete Since 1993 January 30, 2023

This post was most recently updated on January 30th, 2023

Update – SuperSeal M Concrete Water Repellent Review

The SuperSeal M Concrete Water Repellent is one of our top sealers for waterproofing concrete based on performance and price. If you have any questions or have used the SuperSeal M Concrete Water Repellent product, please ask below in our Q&A area. We are here to help!


SuperSeal M SealerSUPER SEAL-M is a water-based Silicone Water Repellent made of a special hybrid of Silane and Siloxane. SUPER SEAL-M provides water repellency to porous construction materials such as bricks, stone, concrete blocks, mortar, and grout. It is not suitable for very low-porosity substrates such as polished stone.

The active ingredients in SUPER SEAL-M Water Repellent Sealer are a mixture of different-size particles-some larger, some smaller to fill different size voids. This ensures good penetration into porous substrates, resulting in good coverage and durable water repellency. The active ingredients in SUPER SEAL-M Water Repellent can chemically react with the substrate, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Concrete Sealer Ingredients: Blend of Silanes and Siloxanes

Concrete Sealer Type: Penetrating Clear Water Repellent

SuperSeal M Concrete Water Repellent Scores (1-10)

Ease of Application: 10

– The SuperSeal M was applied to a new concrete driveway the day after installation. SuperSeal specifically says that the sealer can be applied to new concrete as soon as the bead water is gone from the install. We used 5 gallons for the 1000 sq. feet. It took 30 minutes to apply and did not have any issues.

Water Repellency: 8

– After 3 days we tested the water beading with the garden hose. All of the water beaded up on the driveway with a light mist of water. A heavier saturation and the water still did not penetrate into the concrete.

MasonrySaver Heavy Duty Water Repellent Review 2023

by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Concrete Since 1993 January 30, 2023

This post was most recently updated on January 30th, 2023

Update – MasonrySaver Heavy Duty Water Repellent Review

The MasonrySaver Heavy Duty Water Repellent is one of our top sealers for waterproofing concrete based on performance and price. If you have any questions or have used the MasonrySaver Heavy Duty Water Repellent product, please ask below in our Q&A area. We are here to help!


MasonrySaver Heavy Duty Water RepellentMasonrySaver® (Also known as “Defy”) All-Purpose Heavy Duty Water Repellent is a modified siloxane-based product designed to penetrate deeply into most masonry and concrete pores. Unlike acrylics, silicones, and other waterproofing sealers that remain on the surface and trap water vapors, this masonry waterproofing product allows deep penetration of its active ingredient of up to 1/4 inch or more. This proprietary blend of silanes and siloxanes creates a “SaltShield™” barrier on concrete surfaces, for greater resistance to the deteriorating effects of road salts and de-icing chemicals. This 100% breathable concrete waterproofing product is a great choice for both horizontal and vertical above grade surfaces.

Concrete Sealer Ingredients: Blend of Silanes and Siloxanes

Concrete Sealer Type: Invisible Water Repellent. It does not change the appearance.

MasonrySaver Heavy Duty Water Repellent Scores (1-10)

Ease of Application: 10

– We applied the MasonrySaver Heavy Duty Water Repellent to a 1000 sq. foot driveway using a plastic pump sprayer. The sealer goes on milky white and dried clear in about 20 minutes. It took less than 30 minutes to seal the entire driveway.

Water Repellency: 8

– We waited a day after the application and then did a water test. The water did bead up well and did not penetrate into the concrete.

SB-4000 Water Repelling Invisible Sealer is a water-based, penetrating, low VOC sealer that provides an invisible, durable barrier against liquid absorption on retaining walls, concrete, and pavers. The finish has a natural look that does not affect the appearance of the substrate.

Concrete Sealer Ingredients: Blend of  Siloxanes

Concrete Sealer Type: Penetrating Clear Sealer

SB-4000 Concrete Sealer Scores (1-10)

Behr Concrete Waterproofer

Behr Concrete Waterproofer

Update Behr Premium Waterproofer Review 2023

If you have any questions or have used the Behr Premium Waterproofer product, please ask below in our Q&A area. We are here to help!


A premium interior/exterior waterproofing formula that uses the latest water-based silicone technology designed to penetrate surfaces up to 1/2″. This waterproofer creates a barrier inside the surface that keeps water out, but lets trapped water vapors escape; reducing corrosion, spalling, efflorescence, and freeze-thaw damage. It reduces staining due to mold, mildew, algae growth and ensures greater durability of the surface. The protection is not worn away with normal use. It protects long after the water beading is gone!

Concrete Sealer Ingredients: Silicon

Concrete Sealer Type: Invisible Water Repellent. It does not change the appearance.

Behr Premium Waterproofer Scores (1-10)

Ease of Application: 7

– The Behr Premium Waterproofer is very thin in consistency and looks like you are applying white water. The issue we had is that the sprayer kept getting clogged from large white chunks in the sealer. After running the sealer through a screen, we did not have any more issues. Very frustrating though!

Water Repellency: 7

– After a few days, we tested the Behr Premium Waterproofer with a hose. Light saturation of the water and it beaded well. Heavy saturation and the sealer did not repel the water very well.
