The Importance of Regular Sealcoating for Long-Lasting Pavement

A Regular Sealcoat Will Extend the Life of Your Pavement

Regularly sealing your pavement is a great way to extend the life of your asphalt. Sealing your pavement not only restores its dark color, but it can also help you avoid cracks and protect it from regular wear. With regular use, your asphalt can begin to crack and develop more serious issues. Repairing cracks and other major issues that inevitably happen to asphalt can be very costly and may end up needing a complete replacement.

What Is Sealcoating and What Is the Process?

It is important to know what to expect when you decide to sealcoat on your pavement. When you call Tolliver & Curl Paving, we begin by coming out to assess the pavement or parking lot that you are looking to service. We offer free estimates for all of our maintenance jobs, so you are able to get all the information to be able to decide how you want to proceed. We will work with you to find the perfect maintenance service plan that will fit the needs of your asphalt. Once you decide to proceed with our services, we will begin to prepare your pavement for sealer. We will clear away any debris and fill any cracks to ensure the coating application goes on smooth and lasts long. Once the crack fillings are dried, we can begin to seal the asphalt. Our sealant is applied as a liquid and placed on top of your existing asphalt. Once the coating is dry, it becomes a solid surface. This surface will seal and protect your asphalt and make it last longer.

There Are Many Benefits to Sealing Your Driveway Regularly

Sealing can have both aesthetic and functional advantages. Understanding all the advantages and what type of asphalt you have will help you decide why you should reseal and how often you should get it redone. Below are a few benefits that you can expect when you reseal your asphalt.

Protection From Water Damage

Water is one of the main causes of asphalt deterioration. Over time, small cracks will develop in your pavement from natural use. Water can get in these cracks and naturally will cause surface erosion. This erosion can cause large pieces of asphalt to eventually fall off and create large potholes. Once a crack becomes too large and a hole starts, it is hard to make repairs that won’t need constant attention. Sealcoating will create a barrier that prevents water from seeping into these cracks. In the long run, your pavement will last longer and be protect from weather, such as snow, and other natural wear and tear.

Improves Your Curb Appeal

Sealing your driveway is the perfect way to update the look of your home. Resealing will help restore the dark color of the asphalt and make it look fresh and properly cared for. This could be a great way to prepare your home for sale, or if you are looking to improve the curb appeal of your home for your own enjoyment.

UV Rays Can Cause Damage

Asphalt needs to be protected from ultraviolet rays. There are many affects the sun can have on your pavement. UV rays can cause asphalt to become brittle and crack over time. This is due the asphalts oil and components being down by the ultraviolet rays. When you choose to seal your pavement, you are replenishing the oils and making your asphalt and pavement as strong and durable as it can be which will help it last a long time.

A Sealer Can Resist Erosion from Chemicals

Vehicles and other machinery can leak oil, gas, and other chemicals. Overtime, these leaks can weaken and stain your pavement which ruin the look and weaken the bonds overtime. When you choose to sealcoat, you can protect your asphalt and help it resist these substances. Regular sealcoating will prevent chemicals from seeping into the surface and help avoid degradation.

Sealcoats Can Improve Traction

Sealcoating can help provide a smoother surface. Not only can this improve the ride of your vehicle, but it can also improve the traction for when you are walking on the pavement. This is perfect for heavy traffic areas where safety is priority.

Sealcoating Is Cost-effective

Sealcoating is the most cost-effective way to extend the lifespan of your pavement. It is proven that a sealcoat will protect the surface from water, chemical stains, and natural wear and tear. It helps reduce the need for expensive repairs. Routinely caring for your pavement can save you so much money in the long run.

Sealcoating Your Asphalt Can Be a Sustainable Practice

When you choose to seal coat your pavement, you are also extending the lifespan of your asphalt. This helps reduce the need to replace all the asphalt or driveway down the line. This can be expensive and harmful to the environment. Completely replacing asphalt is not only expensive, but the resources needed to lay asphalt from scratch is far greater than if you choose to seal your pavement every so often. Additionally, todays sealcoating products are more eco-friendly and use less harmful compounds.
