Seal Coating

Why do you need seal coating?

Seal coating and crack filling are important for maintaining the integrity and durability of asphalt surfaces. Here's why they're necessary:

 

 

1. Protection from Elements: Seal coating provides a protective layer that shields the asphalt from the damaging effects of sunlight, rain, snow, and chemicals like oil and gasoline. This helps prevent premature deterioration and extends the lifespan of the pavement.

2. Prevention of Water Damage: Crack filling seals cracks and prevents water from seeping into the underlying layers of the pavement. Water intrusion can lead to erosion, weakening of the base, and ultimately, the formation of potholes and larger cracks.

3. Preservation of Structural Integrity: By filling cracks and applying seal coating, you maintain the structural integrity of the pavement. This reduces the likelihood of costly repairs or complete asphalt replacement down the line.

4. Enhanced Safety: Smooth, well-maintained surfaces are safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles. Seal coating helps maintain a uniform surface, reduces skidding, and improves visibility of pavement markings.

5. Cost-Effective Maintenance: Regular seal coating and crack filling are proactive measures that save money in the long run. They help avoid the need for extensive repairs or reconstruction, which can be much more expensive.

Overall, seal coating and crack filling are essential preventive maintenance tasks that protect your asphalt investment, ensure safety, and save you money on repairs.
