Sealing Concrete Question

[SI86]

How long do you have to wait till you can seal your concrete floor after they pour?


Ive heard 1 yr.... Is that true or can I do it earlier before I fill it full of my stuff

28 days

I've seen it done the day it was poured with no issues that I'm aware of.

Depends on the type of sealer. Timing, weather and if you are gong to keep the concrete wet after the pour. Some sealers can be put on right after the pour (same day). It will probably say "curing" somewhere on the bucket.
If not using curing sealer (or if you don't get it on soon enough) I believe that 7 - 28 days is suggested.

Ok that's better news... I was hoping it wasn't going to be 1 year. Thanks!

This is what was done on the section of driveway I had repoured a couple years ago...no issues to speak of.
