Why does sealant fail and turn white in florida?
The majority of jobs we come across that need stripped are due to poor sealant selection. Florida has a high humidity level and also a high water table level. This results in a constant moisture on the surface due to moisture trying to escape from the ground. The majority of sealant which tend to fail in Florida are solvent based sealant, which are designed to keep moisture and water out. The problem with solvent based sealant in Florida is that they also keep moisture and water trapped in the paver. The moisture and water deteriorates the bond that the sealant has with the paver and turns a white color.
What are my options?
Sealant has a very durable bond and requires strong stripper to be removed. Unfortunately the sun won't remove old or failed sealant. The only option to fix failed sealant is to have it stripped. Give us a call for a free estimate to have your failed sealant stripped off completely and re-sealed the correct way.

What does failed sealant look like?
Once the sealant has failed it will start to turn white. This is because the sealant has detached from the paver and water is trapped between the sealant and paver. This sealant needs to be stripped.
