Fast and Effective Asphalt Sealings to Minimize Disruption
A newly sealed asphalt surface provides a smooth, uniform appearance and enhanced durability. Proper sealing helps protect against water penetration and surface wear.
During sealing, a liquid asphalt-based coating is applied to fill surface cracks and create a protective barrier. This process extends the lifespan of asphalt pavements.
Finished asphalt sealing showcases a clean, sealed surface that resists damage from weather and traffic, maintaining the pavement's integrity over time.
Statistics indicate that asphalt sealings can double the lifespan of pavement when performed regularly. Sealings help prevent the formation of cracks that can lead to more extensive repairs. Typically, a well-maintained asphalt surface can last up to 20 years with proper sealing intervals, which are usually every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic and weather conditions.
Time Required for Professional Asphalt Sealings
The duration of asphalt sealing depends on the size of the area and the condition of the surface. For small driveways, the process may take a few hours, including preparation and drying time. Larger parking lots or roadways may require a full day or more to complete properly, ensuring thorough coverage and curing.
The Asphalt Sealing Process
The process begins with cleaning the surface to remove dirt, debris, and oil. Any existing cracks are filled to prevent water intrusion. A liquid sealant is then uniformly applied using spray or squeegee methods. After application, the surface needs to cure for several hours, during which traffic should be restricted to ensure proper adhesion and drying.
Benefits of Hiring a Professional for Asphalt Sealings
Professional sealers have the expertise and equipment to ensure an even, thorough application. This results in better protection and a longer-lasting seal. DIY sealing may lead to uneven coverage, missed cracks, or premature failure, which can increase long-term costs. Engaging experienced contractors guarantees quality work and optimal results.
