Driveway Paving & Sealing

Benefits of our driveway sealing services

Sealcoating your Parking lot or Driveway within the first three years of it being paved is crucial. Driveway sealing slows down oxidation and water penetration, blocking out natural elements such as, sun, wind, rain, snow, frost, and ice. It will also resist harmful man made element spills such as fuel, antifreeze, oil, and salt. The sealer we use is made from a coal tar emulsion that isn’t soluble in oil or gas. Asphalt sealer fills small voids in asphalt reducing exposure to oxygen and water and extending pavement life.

Asphalt pavements are a simple combination of rock, sand, and a glue which is the liquid asphalt that binds everything together.

Asphalt surfaces can be effectively protected by using a seal coating which acts as a barrier between the external harmful elements and the asphalt pavement. Usually a coal tar emulsion sealer is used which is highly resistant to water, gas and oil, salt, chemicals, and UV radiation . It is the perfect substance to combat the degradation of your asphalt pavement.

Besides savings in money another great advantage of seal coating is that a well maintained property increases the value of your property and is more pleasing to your patrons. The first impression of possible tenants or customers is the parking lot. Is it maintained? Does it look nice? Is it safe? They think to themselves, "If they maintain their parking then they probably maintain they apartments and condominiums." It is proven by marketing studies and I am sure from your own personal experience, that a well maintained property leads to higher occupancy rates, less turnover, and overall greater satisfaction.

Driveway Beautification

Fresh seal coat brings a dark black color to the pavement, making it look and wear like new. A black parking lot has a clean, rich look that presents a positive image of the company, facility, or residential complex.

Protects the base/sub base

A good pavement needs a sound base and sub base. Effective crack sealing keeps water from entering and weakening these areas. This weakness can result in loss of structural support, which in turn can result in additional cracking or faulting and eventually forms a pothole. Preserves the pavement adjacent to the cracks. Cracks that are properly cleaned and sealed contain material that firmly adheres to the sides year-round, during times of expansion and contraction. Without this material the adjacent pavement would have increased exposure to the elements, resulting in increased oxidation of the binder, hardening and secondary cracking along the main crack.

Driveway Sealing Eliminates

Eliminates the damaging effects of incompressibles like sand, stone, and dirt. When sand, stone, and dirt get into the crack they can restrict crack closure during warm weather. Also, they can cause compressive stresses at the crack faces that result in spalling and loosening of the asphalt concrete. In some highly oxidized pavements these stresses can even cause pavement lipping, which is the upheaval of pavement at transverse cracks. Extends pavement life and cost-effectiveness. By sealing cracks, control over base and sub base conditions, pavement interference, and crack growth, thereby extending the pavement’s life. Crack filling which is the placement of materials into cracks to reduce water intrusion and reinforce the adjacent pavement. Crack sealing is the placement of specialized materials either above or into working cracks to prevent the intrusion of water and incompressibles such as sand, stone, and dirt.
