Concrete Joint Sealant for Concrete MaintenanceAfter your concrete is cured and sealed, it is a good idea to use a concrete joint sealant to caulk the control joints that were made with a saw. This will prevent water, dirt and ants from entering the cracks and causing erosion. Typically, a contractor will not come back to caulk the control joints, but it is something anyone can do. To caulk your control joints, make sure that the joint is clean and dry. You can use a broom, a water hose or an air hose if it has been awhile since your concrete was poured. Purchase an exterior caulk and caulking gun (if you don't already have one) from a home improvement store. You can buy caulk in various colors. Pick one that matches your concrete (if you colored your concrete.) The caulking material has more specific directions, but it is a simple process.
