Why is waterproofing important?
Waterproofing can prevent wood from rotting and warping and keeps concrete from flaking and aging rapidly. It's a good way to preserve exterior surfaces so they won't need replacement or major repair as often.
What outdoor surfaces need waterproofing or sealer?
Typical surfaces for waterproofing and sealing are wood and concrete, as both are at risk of water damage. A multi-surface waterproofer is your best option to protect many surfaces.
How do you waterproof outdoor wood?
Once you've treated, stained, or conditioned outdoor wood, apply timber oil, wood sealer or waterproofer on top. Using a brush is the best way to apply sealer, but a paint roller is an option if you need to quickly seal a large surface.
How do you waterproof a concrete exterior wall?
You'll need to apply the sealer with a roller or brush once the concrete has cured. If you're waterproofing an old concrete wall, you'll need to clean it and let any repairs cure before applying waterproofer.
