Process
 |
Initially,
your driveway or parking lot will receive a thorough cleaning. |
|
|
Cracks will
be sealed with a quality hot rubber product to keep out water
and prevent further damage. Hot rubber crack sealer is applied
at extremely high temperatures to get deep into the crack. As
the rubber cools, it solidifies, but stays flexible so it can
expand and contract with the thermal movements of the asphalt. |
|
|
Next,
sealcoating is applied (using a spray method) over
the entire asphalt area with a "rich" flat black coat. (Sealed
pavement should never have a shine or appear to be wet.) |
|
|
The sealcoating will seal the porous surface. Once dried (average of 24 hours), it forms a tough, protective layer that protects your pavement investment from the elements and keeps the surface looking new. |
Sometimes people are misled into believing seal coating is only for beautification purposes. Professional grade sealcoating not only extends the life of your asphalt investment, it makes the surface more resistant to deterioration from gasoline, oil, and chemicals. It also prevents weather-related erosion from natural elements, such as the sun, rain, frost, freezing, and thawing.
We apply
multiple coats of professional grade FAA approved sealcoating with a
spray system, paying careful attention not to get any sealer where it
should not be.
A favorite analogy is that of spray painting your vehicle; you wouldn't
want someone to brush or roll the paint onto your vehicle! Some inferior
companies actually brush or squeegee the product onto the asphalt, which
in may result in a sub-optimal job in most cases, leaving broom or
squeegee marks on your asphalt.
