Asphalt Sealcoating
Sealcoating
Asphalt sealers can either be sprayed or brushed. While brushed-on sealant lasts longer, and imparts a thicker coat, it can be cost prohibitive for large properties. For this reason, commercial properties often opt for sprayed on sealant. Either way, high quality asphalt sealcoat protects pavement from wear and tear, harsh UV rays, water penetration, and other damaging elements like winter salt and car fluid leaks. It is a cost-effective and valuable part of regular maintenance for asphalt driveways and parking lots.
Crackfilling
Before sealcoating is performed, crack filling is completed. Filling deep cracks with rubberized crack filler helps prevent debris and water infiltration and extensive damage. When water seeps in through cracks, it can compromise the asphalt foundation as well as cause potholes, from expansion due to freeze-thaw cycles. Sealing large and small cracks is an important part of routine maintenance.
Patching
If your paved area has more extensive damage, like potholes, we first repair these areas before sealcoating. Patching potholes helps prevent further damage. Vehicle traffic over potholes causes more damage and crumbling. Water infiltration through these breaks in the pavement can cause further damage. Cutting and patching is the best way to repair potholes for good.
