3. Seal Cracks Promptly Tiny cracks grow into significant issues faster than one can imagine. The first thing to do when there is a crack is to apply a concrete crack filler. This prevents water infiltration and protects your curb from damage caused by the freeze-thaw cycle.

4. Clean With Care If not handled professionally, pressure washing can damage concrete surfaces. Employ a wide-angle nozzle and ensure that it is 6 inches from the floor. Use a biodegradable concrete cleaner instead of a chemical-based one.

5. Address Drainage Issues The soil supports the curb, but excess water flow can erode the soil, compromising the curb’s stability. Prepare the ground around your house to ensure proper drainage and prevent water from pooling near the curb. If water accumulates near the curb base, install a French drain.

6. Protect From Vehicle Damage Put reflectors and steel poles on vulnerable curb sections. This prevents accidental impacts from cars, especially in tight parking areas or busy driveways.

7. Apply a Penetrating Sealer It is recommended that a silane or siloxane-based sealer be applied to the curbs about once every 3-5 years. This significantly slows down the penetration of water and de-icing salts, increasing the concrete’s durability.
