It’s the perfect maintenance to protect and preserve your asphalt investment. Over time asphalt pavement is subject to deterioration. There is no way to avoid deterioration since it comes from water, oil, gasoline, chemicals, ultraviolet rays, and everyday elements. The purpose of sealcoating is to create a protective barrier against this mineral buildup. The smooth seal coating layer will protect the asphalt from chemicals penetrating the surface.

Sealcoating maintenance is crucial for all asphalt surfaces. The benefits of seal coating are:

Sealcoating also provides an excellent curb appeal and improves property value. Once seal coating is applied it provides a smooth, black surface that is easy to sweep, clean, and maintain.

When Should Sealcoating Be Done?

For new asphalt pavement projects, sealcoating should be done several months after the asphalt has fully cured. The A.S.M.A. (Asphalt Sealcoat Manufacturers Association) recommends that all new asphalt cure for six to twelve months before seal coating is applied. Once the asphalt pavement has been seal coated, it should be reapplied every two to three years. Sealcoating & Asphalt Maintenance Services

How is Sealcoating Applied?

Before any seal coating is applied, the asphalt must be free from dirt and debris. Effectively remove dirt and debris with pressure washers, wire brooms, blowers, or sweepers. If any potholes or cracks are located in the asphalt, then these must be filled prior to seal coating. Chemicals, gasoline, and oil must be cleaned with the correct cleaner to ensure all residue is fully removed. Once the asphalt surface has completely dried, then the seal coating process can begin. Sealcoating can be applied by using a brush applicator, spray and hand squeegee, or a squeegee machine. The seal coating application should be applied evenly. There should be no overlapping of the seal coating. Generally, two coats of sealer are applied. and the asphalt surface should completely cure before the asphalt is utilized by traffic. Sealcoating will preserve asphalt pavement, in addition, to saving money on future costly repairs. Seal coating adds durability, resistance, and a new appearance to asphalt.
