Benefits of Sealcoating Asphalt
In a perfect world, asphalt pavement would last forever. Since this isn’t the case and it will eventually deteriorate over time due to wear and tear, you may be wondering what you can do to extend its lifespan.
Sealcoating is one way to ensure your asphalt pavement lasts for as long as possible. It involves applying a liquid mixture of coating every three to 8 years depending on traffic. Here are several of the many benefits of sealcoating asphalt.
Extends the Life of Your Asphalt almost double.
As stated, sealcoating can help you prolong the lifespan of your asphalt and protect your investment for quite some time. By investing in this technique every few years, you can significantly reduce the risk of costly repairs pennies versus dollars per SF, or the need to completely replace your asphalt down the road.
Protects From Chemical Damage
Since asphalt parking lots and driveways are constantly filled with vehicles, they’re prone to chemical damage from oil, gasoline, and salt. Unfortunately, these chemicals can weaken the asphalt surface and lead to erosion as well as more extensive problems. Sealcoating can protect your asphalt from harsh chemicals and the damages they tend to cause.
Improves the Appearance of Your Property
If you invest in sealcoating, your asphalt will appear smoother, shinier, and darker. Not only will this enhance the appearance of your asphalt, it will improve the aesthetics of the house, building, or land that surrounds it. Sealcoating is a quick and affordable way to give the exterior of your property an updated, attractive look and feel instantly.
Enables Easier Cleaning
The smooth, sleek layer that sealcoating creates will make it easier for you to clean your asphalt surface. You can quickly sweep or hose it so that it looks great for guests. You won’t have to worry about the concrete tugging on your broom or hose like you probably would if you didn’t sealcoat your driveway or parking lot.
Saves on Repair and Replacement Costs
Since asphalt repairs and replacements can get expensive very quickly, maintaining your asphalt through sealcoating is ideal. You’ll be able to prevent serious damage like water or chemical damage from accumulating and extend its lifespan. Sealcoating is a great way to get more bang for your initial investment.
