As we move into late October, it’s a smart time to start thinking about sealing any exposed concrete block walls. Even in drier areas like Jurupa Valley, winter can bring cooler nights, rain, and more moisture than most concrete can handle bare. If walls aren’t sealed, water can soak in, freeze overnight, and start breaking
