Asphalt sealing is the process of applying a protective coating to asphalt surfaces, such as driveways or parking lots, to safeguard them against damage from water, UV rays, oil spills, and other elements.
Asphalt sealing is an important part of protecting your investment, and it can add years to the life of your asphalt. In addition, it provides protection from the damaging effects of the sun, rain, snow, road salt, freeze/thaw cycle, vehicle traffic, oil spills, etc. Sealcoating restores and beautifies your property. If you are planning on selling your home, this dramatically increases the curb appeal.
Ideally asphalt requires annual crack sealing. For best results, sealing the entire driveway/parking lot generally should be done every two years. Please note that this is a general guideline so recommended intervals can vary depending on a variety of factors such as:
Benefits include increased longevity of the asphalt, protection against cracks and potholes, improved appearance, resistance to oil and chemical spills, and reduced maintenance costs.
Seal-coating can significantly reduce their occurrence of cracks by protecting the asphalt from water penetration and UV damage, which are common causes of cracking. When cracks occur, we use a liquid rubber product to fill the cracks.
The lifespan of asphalt sealing varies depending on factors like climate, traffic, and the quality of the sealant used. Generally, it can last 2-5 years or more with proper maintenance.
Factors include the quality of the sealant used, application method, climate conditions, traffic volume, and the condition of the asphalt surface.
While DIY sealing kits are available, hiring a professional ensures proper preparation, application, and quality of materials, leading to better results and longer-lasting protection.
The process typically involves cleaning the surface, repairing cracks and potholes, applying a primer (if necessary), and then applying the sealant using a squeegee or sprayer.
It's best to avoid driving or walking on the sealed surface for at least 24-48 hours to allow the sealant to cure properly.
Sealing can enhance the appearance of asphalt by restoring its color and giving it a fresh, uniform look.
Yes, sealing can help protect against oil stains by creating a barrier that prevents oil and other substances from penetrating the asphalt surface.
It's generally recommended to seal asphalt when temperatures are consistently above 50°F (10°C) and there is no forecasted rain for at least 24-48 hours.
Yes, sealing asphalt can significantly increase its lifespan by protecting it from damage caused by water, UV rays, and other elements.
Sealing alone cannot fix significant cracks and damage, but it can help prevent further deterioration and should be combined with proper repair methods for best results.
