Significantly, the driveway should be dried for 4 to 8 hours before the rain starts. But what happens if it rains at a time when the driveway is being made? It is harmful because heavy rain can ruin the driveway and wash away the sealer.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><\/li><li><ul><li><ul><li><\/li><li><\/li><li><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"Is_rain_harmful_while_sealing_the_driveway\"><strong><span style=\"color: #252525;\">Is rain harmful while sealing the driveway?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Light rain is also harmful to the driveway when it is under construction. Even a light mist can harm the newly sealed driveway if it is not properly dried.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, heavy rain can also damage a concrete driveway surface. The extra water from the rain changes the ratio of concrete and water, and therefore the driveway may be damaged. Also, it will wash away all the sealing chemicals from the driveway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making a driveway in the summer is the best way to do it safely. If you cannot avoid the rainy season by any means, you can take advantage of the artificial drying process by using a fan or a blow dryer. Otherwise, sunlight is the best solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"How_can_I_apply_driveway_sealant_in_the_rainy_season\"><strong>How can I apply driveway sealant in the rainy season?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several tasks before starting the driveway-making task.
