What is Sealcoating?

Sealcoating is a protective layer applied to asphalt surfaces to guard against the damaging effects of the elements. This process involves applying a layer of sealant that acts as a barrier against water, sunlight, air, and oil, all of which can cause asphalt to deteriorate over time. By investing in sealcoating, property owners can protect their asphalt surfaces, extend their lifespan, and maintain their appearance. This not only prevents costly repairs but also reduces overall maintenance costs, ensuring that driveways and parking lots remain safe and functional for years to come.

Benefits of Sealcoating

Sealcoating offers numerous benefits for property owners, making it a wise investment for anyone looking to protect their asphalt surfaces. Here are some key advantages:

  • Extended Lifespan: Sealcoating can significantly extend the life of asphalt surfaces, potentially adding up to 30 years of durability, depending on the quality of the sealcoat and the condition of the asphalt.
  • Cost Savings: Regular sealcoating helps prevent costly repairs by protecting the asphalt from damage, ultimately reducing maintenance expenses.
  • Improved Appearance: A fresh sealcoat enhances the appearance of asphalt surfaces, making them look newer and more attractive, which can boost curb appeal.
  • Increased Safety: By preventing cracks and potholes, sealcoating improves the safety of asphalt surfaces, reducing the risk of accidents for vehicles and pedestrians.
  • Environmental Benefits: Sealcoating helps minimize the environmental impact of asphalt surfaces by preventing oil spills and other hazardous materials from seeping into the ground.

Sealcoating Process

How it Works

The sealcoating process is a meticulous procedure that ensures your asphalt surfaces are well-protected and maintained. Here’s how it works:

  1. Cleaning: The asphalt surface is thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt, debris, and other contaminants. This step is crucial for ensuring the sealcoat adheres properly.
  2. Preparation: Any cracks or potholes in the asphalt are filled, and a primer may be applied if necessary. This preparation step ensures a smooth and even application of the sealcoat.
  3. Application: The sealcoat is applied to the asphalt surface using a sprayer or squeegee. This layer acts as a protective barrier against the elements.
  4. Drying: The sealcoat is allowed to dry completely, which can take several hours or even days, depending on weather conditions. Proper drying is essential for the sealcoat to bond effectively with the asphalt.
  5. Inspection: Once dried, the sealcoated surface is inspected to ensure it is even, smooth, and free of defects. This final step guarantees a high-quality finish that will protect your asphalt for years to come.

By following these steps, property owners can ensure their asphalt surfaces are properly sealcoated, extending their life, reducing maintenance costs, and enhancing their appearance. Regular sealcoating is a smart investment that protects your property and saves you money in the long run.
