DOES SALT DAMAGE CONCRETE?

Unfortunately, yes. Though concrete is strong, it is porous. So when salt enters the concrete, it can cause damage.

The reason behind this is that salt lowers the freezing point of water, leading to a repeated freeze-thaw cycle. This cycle can significantly weaken the surface of the concrete.

WHAT DOES SALT DAMAGE ON CONCRETE LOOK LIKE?

Spalling is the most common type of salt damage. It shows up as flaking or chipping on the concrete surface, making it look rough and pitted.

Additional signs of salt-damaged concrete include:

Chips
Cracks
Discoloration
Surface erosion
Flaking
Pitting
Scaling

The effects of salt on concrete can be detrimental. To safeguard your surfaces, it’s crucial to adopt preventative measures and appropriate maintenance practices.

HOW DO YOU KEEP SALT FROM DAMAGING CONCRETE?
1)Use a sealer that prevents salt intrusion.
2)Clean your concrete often. *Salts can still come in on your tires from trips out*
3)Use concrete-safe de-icers.
4)Ensure good drainage.
