How To Fix Potential Issues With Your Resin Driveway

Some resin driveways may have cracks or potholes, depending on the company that installed your driveway and their respective standards. This could be due to vehicle traffic, weather conditions, and other factors, but it is most likely due to suboptimal installation. Our company offers a 10-year guarantee to reassure our customers and demonstrate that we have the highest standards in the industry.

Fading Colours

Some driveway companies use a resin that is not UV resistant, which causes the drive to fade and become discoloured over time. If you were unlucky and used one of these companies, the best thing you can do is clean your driveway on a regular basis with a mild detergent. Strong chemicals should be avoided because they can cause this type of resin to fade. In our case, we make certain that we use the best product available, so that it is both UV resistant and stain resistant. Fortunately, if you hired us or a similar company, your driveway will not be discoloured.

Weed Problems

Weeds can be an annoyance if your driveway was poorly installed. Because they can grow through small cracks or gaps in the driveway, you'll need to weed on a regular basis or use a weed killer designed for resin surfaces. To avoid this type of issue, we use a weed-resistant membrane during the installation process.

Stain Issues

It is uncommon to see stains in any type of resin driveway; however, if you do see a stain, it should be simple to remove. Substances such as oil, grease, and strong chemicals pose a higher risk if not addressed quickly. You can easily remove these stains with a mild detergent; just don't leave them for too long. Please contact us for specific cleaning recommendations.

Drainage Problems

You could have a problem if a company overlooked the drainage situation for your driveway. If the drainage system is not installed properly or at all, you may experience poor drainage and water pooling. In our case, we use a permeable resin surface to help with water run-off, and if necessary, we install a new drainage system beneath the resin to avoid water pooling or flooding.

Resin driveways have many advantages, but they can also have some drawbacks over time. By addressing these common issues as soon as possible, you can ensure that your resin driveway lasts a long time and looks great. A beautiful and durable resin driveway will last for years with regular maintenance, proper cleaning methods, and timely repairs. To ensure that the company you're working with is the right one for you, always ask them if they offer a guarantee and if you can see work from several years ago.
