The Clean Guys Paver Sealing Shares Guide to Cleaning Pavers Before Sealing

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL., March 25, 2026 — Fort Lauderdale homeowners risk sealing failure when moisture and contaminants remain active beneath pavers that appear surface-dry, a problem that intensifies during the city's May 15 to Oct. 15 rainy season. The Clean Guys Paver Sealing has published a homeowner guide addressing the preparation steps required before sealing in this climate. For homeowners planning paver maintenance, the guide to cleaning pavers before sealing in Fort Lauderdale outlines what must be addressed before any sealer is applied.

Why Fort Lauderdale Pavers Require More Preparation Before Sealing

Fort Lauderdale's rainy season runs from May 15 to Oct. 15, a period during which National Weather Service South Florida climate data shows nearly 70% of the region's annual rainfall is concentrated. The sustained moisture load leaves pavers exposed to prolonged saturation, while high humidity between storm events prevents surfaces from fully drying. The City of Fort Lauderdale resilience programs document a shallow aquifer, extensive canal system, and tidal conditions that keep subsurface moisture active throughout the year. King tides and groundwater fluctuations mean a paver surface can appear dry while moisture, algae, salt deposits, or residue remain present underneath, conditions that become trapped under sealer and lead to bonding failure.

What the Guide Helps Homeowners Identify Before Sealing

The guide published by The Clean Guys Paver Sealing gives homeowners a pre-sealing inspection outline, identifying specific surface and subsurface conditions that must be corrected before a sealer can bond and perform correctly in South Florida's climate. It covers six categories: algae and organic buildup, efflorescence, failed or peeling sealer, missing joint sand, drainage problems, and staining. Each of these represents a condition that, if left unaddressed, can prevent proper adhesion or cause the sealer to fail ahead of its expected lifespan. The guide specifies which conditions require remediation before sealing should proceed, giving homeowners a clear standard for evaluating whether their pavers are prepared.

Owner Explains Why Cleaning Impacts Sealing Results

Mike Crimmins, owner of The Clean Guys Paver Sealing, said the company published the guide to clarify how local conditions affect sealing outcomes.

"In Fort Lauderdale, pavers can look ready on the surface while moisture and buildup are still present underneath. Cleaning before sealing is not just preparation. It determines whether the sealer bonds correctly and lasts in this climate. We want homeowners to understand what needs to be addressed before sealing begins," said Mike Crimmins, Owner, The Clean Guys Paver Sealing.
