How Proper pH Levels Ensure Long-Lasting Paver Sealing Results - When it comes to protecting your investment in pavers, sealing is essential — but few homeowners realize that one simple factor can make or break the process: PH BALANCE. At Elegant Styles Power Wash, we’ve mastered how to achieve perfect pH levels to ensure that your pavers stay clean, vibrant, and sealed for years to come.
WHY PH BALANCE MATTERS IN PAVER SEALING
The PH LEVEL measures how acidic or alkaline a surface or solution is, using a scale from 0 (acidic) to 14 (alkaline). For successful paver sealing, both the surface and cleaning products used must have the right pH balance — otherwise, the sealant won’t properly adhere, leading to poor protection and premature wear.
HOW PH AFFECTS CLEANING AND SEALANT ADHESION
Before any sealant is applied, pavers must be thoroughly cleaned. Cleaning solutions that are too acidic can etch or damage the paver surface, while overly alkaline products may leave behind residue that interferes with sealant bonding. Achieving a balanced pH — typically between 6 AND 8 — ensures:
* Efficient removal of dirt, oil, and organic buildup
* Proper surface neutralization before sealing
* Stronger adhesion for long-lasting protection
