Your Trusted Sealcoating Contractor
Whether you’re a business owner or a homeowner, it’s important to keep your asphalt sealed. Sealcoating is one of the most important aspects of paving maintenance and can help prevent serious damage to your property. If you have an asphalt driveway or parking lot that is unsealed, it’s important to schedule regular sealing sessions in order to keep it in good repair. However, before we get into how often you should seal your driveway or parking lot, let’s take a look at what exactly sealcoating is:
Asphalt Sealcoating
Asphalt sealcoating is a maintenance service that helps protect your asphalt from moisture damage, which causes cracking and potholes. Asphalt sealcoating protects the asphalt from cracks, potholes, UV damage and more while keeping it looking great. Because asphalt is porous, it needs to be protected with an impervious layer of material like bitumen or polyurethane. This protective layer will help prevent moisture from getting into your driveway or parking lot where it can cause damage to your driveway.
Asphalt sealcoating is often used as a way to increase curb appeal by making driveways brighter and cleaner looking without having to pay for new asphalt installation. Sealcoating also provides better traction when walking on ice in winter months since the grit gets caught in between grooves instead of compacting down into them like what happens when snow melts after freezing overnight then refreezes during warmer temperatures later in day which creates slippery conditions for people walking on sidewalks/patios but won’t affect those who drive cars so much (unless they’re driving trucks).
Sealcoating Frequency
While roads are typically sealcoated every 2-3 years, driveways and parking lots should be sealed every 1-2 years.
Sealing asphalt is a quick, inexpensive way to keep it functional. If you have an asphalt driveway or parking lot that is unsealed, it’s important to schedule regular sealing sessions to keep it in good repair.
