Seal Coating & Crack Sealing
Seal Coating
Asphalt seal coating services refer to the application of a protective coating on asphalt surfaces, such as roads, driveways, parking lots, or other paved areas. The process involves applying a thin layer of liquid asphalt-based material over the existing asphalt surface. This creates a protective barrier that helps extend the life of the pavement and enhance its appearance.
Crack Sealing
Asphalt crack sealing is a maintenance activity carried out on asphalt pavements to prevent water infiltration and further deterioration of the pavement. It involves the application of specialized materials into cracks and joints in the asphalt surface to create a waterproof barrier and seal the cracks. Most importantly, preventing the expansion of cracks due to freeze-thaw cycles and the intrusion of water, debris, and other harmful substances.
The Process
Our team will clean and prepare your driveway for seal coating application. We will ensure it is ready so the application will adhere and dry for a finished and professional look.
Protective seal coating typically has to be redone every 2-3 years. It depends on various elements where reapplication could be sooner or later. These elements could be climate conditions, harsh weather, traffic, and wear and tear.
Once the application is complete our team will set up caution tape and cones to make sure no one walks or drives on the application. Drying time can take anywhere from 24-48 hours in ideal conditions. We will conduct a follow-up inspection after that time passes to make sure there aren’t any issues. Lastly, once inspected we will deem the project complete.
The success of the seal coating process depends on the quality of the materials used, proper surface preparation, and the skill of the applicators. So, it’s essential to choose a reputable and experienced service provider like M&D Asphalt for the best results.
Purpose: Seal coating is primarily done to protect the asphalt from the damaging effects of sunlight, water, oil, and other elements. It acts as a shield, preventing cracks, oxidation, and erosion, and it also helps to resist chemicals and prevent water penetration.
Application: A professional seal coating service involves a thorough cleaning of the asphalt surface to remove debris and dirt. Cracks and potholes are repaired before applying the sealant. Lastly, the seal coat material is then spread evenly over the asphalt using specialized equipment like a squeegee, spray system, or brush.
Timing: Seal coating is typically done on a well-cured asphalt surface, usually 6 to 12 months after the initial installation. It is also recommended as part of a regular maintenance plan every 2 to 5 years, depending on the traffic and weather conditions.
Benefits: Seal coating offers several advantages, including:
- Improved appearance: A fresh, black surface enhances the overall look of the property.
- Extended lifespan
