Asphalt and Sealcoating

 

Asphalt is an interesting yet strange compound. We usually don’t put too much thought into it despite its presence throughout nearly every American city. But can you imagine being in a city or town that has no asphalt streets? The problem with this material is that it can be easily damaged because of how porous it is. So what exactly is sealcoating and why is it so important to consider? Sealcoating, or pavement sealing as it is often referred to, is a process that involves the application of a special coating that protects asphalt-based pavements from traffic, UV damage, vehicle fluids, and the weather.

 

Why should you Sealcoat Your Driveway on a regular Basis?

 

If you’re questioning the reason to sealcoat your driveway and the importance of doing so, the following 8 reasons should clarify the matter for you. Driveway sealcoating:

 

• can significantly extend the asphalt surface’s lifespan when applied properly
• is the most cost-effective way to restore your driveway’s function and save you money on repairs in the long run
• keeps the asphalt looking black, thereby maintaining its aesthetic appeal
• makes your driveway easier to clean while giving it a sleek appearance
• prevents water damage by sealing cracks and surface blemishes
• protects your driveway from damaging chemical spills such as gasoline and oil
• provides long-term protection against oxidation and the harmful UV rays of the sun
• restores the appearance of your driveway by making it look brand new

 

As a responsible homeowner, you’re well aware of the importance of regular home maintenance such as mowing the lawn, replacing damaged or missing roof shingles, washing the siding, and so on. Maintaining your driveway is equally as important when it comes to protecting its appearance and longevity. Driveway sealcoating is the ideal option where this is concerned.
