Question By: What is Sealcoat?
Sealcoat is a layer of protection on top of your asphalt. There are two varieties of sealcoating: coal-tar emulsion and asphalt-based emulsion. Both of which can be effective methods for sealing. When applied, the sealcoating covers the pits and pores of the surface, preventing oil, gasoline, and moisture from seeping into the asphalt. Also, sealcoating reflects the harsh sun rays which can cause premature discoloration or failure in your asphalt lot. If your lot has small cracks and imperfections, the sealcoating process may fill them in and create a uniformly strong surface.
What is Crackfill?
Premature failure in asphalt happens often when cracks are left unattended. Water can seep down into the foundation of your lot causing erosion and pavement failure. Crackfill is a latex product designed to fill cracks and prevent moisture from penetrating your asphalt. Fixing cracks is an economical and effective solution which can prolong the lifespan of your lot, keep your lot safe, and preserve your budget.
Why is it Necessary?
Fixing cracks and sealing your lot will save money and efforts by avoiding a premature asphalt replacement. Also, your lot will remain in good condition, which can help prevent dangerous and costly slip and falls or car damage from potholes. Being proactive with your lot maintenance is wise for the safety of your guests and employees as well as your finances. Sealcoating and crackfill are affordable additions to your asphalt maintenance plan.
