How can you tell the difference between solvent sealer and water based sealer?
Solvent-based sealers are typically oil or petroleum based, have a stronger odor, provide a higher level of protection, and are more durable than water-based sealers.

The type of sealer can usually be determined by reading the label or product information.

If the sealer is starting to peal or delaminate then a cleaner and powerwasher may help lift the rest of the sealer off the surface. If you know what type of sealer was used, contact the manufacturer and get suggestions on removal.
