Around 10 million tons of salt are used every year to get rid of ice on roads and driveways. As often as salt is used on the road and driveway, it’s really bad to use because it will damage the road and driveways. Salt damages concrete over time by causing corrosion under the surface which then leads to discoloration, cracking, and potholes. To avoid any damage to your driveway, try to avoid putting salt on your driveway.
