Get Your Free EstimateAsphalt sealcoating involves cleaning your existing asphalt surface, filling any cracks, and then applying a protective liquid layer over it. This process isn't just about making your driveway or parking lot look good; it's about safeguarding your asphalt from sun, rain, and traffic wear. We use commercial-grade coal tar or asphalt emulsion sealers, depending on what your pavement needs.
Our approach starts with a thorough inspection of your asphalt to identify any problem areas like oil spots or larger cracks. We'll clean the surface using power blowers and wire brushes to remove all dirt, debris, and loose aggregate. This step is critical because the sealer won't stick properly to a dirty surface, leading to early peeling.
For Springdale properties, sealcoating is especially important due to our local climate. The hot, humid summers and freezing winters can cause asphalt to expand and contract, leading to cracks and potholes. Sealcoating forms a barrier that slows down this weathering process, keeping moisture out and preventing UV damage that makes asphalt brittle.
Homeowners often ask if sealcoating will fix existing damage. While it protects against future wear, it's not a repair for significant structural issues. We address minor cracks before sealing, but major damage might require patching or more extensive repair first. We'll always give you an honest assessment of what your pavement needs.
Sealcoating is crucial for asphalt pavements in Springdale because our weather is tough on blacktop. The intense summer sun and high humidity here break down the asphalt binder, making it dry out and crack faster. Then, when winter hits and temperatures drop below freezing, water that seeped into those cracks expands, causing even bigger damage like potholes.
A good sealcoat acts like sunscreen and a raincoat for your pavement. It blocks harmful UV rays from the sun, preventing the asphalt from oxidizing and becoming brittle. It also creates a waterproof barrier, stopping rain and melting snow from penetrating the surface and getting into the base layer, which is where most pavement failures start.
Beyond weather, sealcoating also protects against oil and gas spills, which can dissolve asphalt. It makes the surface easier to clean and gives it that fresh, dark black look. For Springdale residents, this means your driveway or parking lot will last longer, look better, and save you money on costly repairs down the road.
We start by thoroughly cleaning your asphalt. This means using power blowers, wire brushes, and sometimes even power washing to remove all dirt, debris, oil spots, and loose aggregate from the surface.
Next, we address any existing cracks. We fill minor cracks with hot rubberized crack filler to prevent water from seeping into the sub-base, which is key to stopping further damage.
Once the surface is clean and cracks are filled, we apply one or two coats of commercial-grade asphalt sealer. We use spray application for an even, consistent finish across the entire surface.
After application, the sealcoat needs time to cure. We'll give you clear instructions on how long to keep traffic off the sealed area, usually 24-48 hours, depending on weather conditions.
