A Sealcoating Program Saves Money & Prolongs Pavement Life
We understand that maintaining your asphalt surfaces isn't just about aesthetics - it's about protecting a significant investment. Cracks, fading, and wear-and-tear are inevitable enemies of asphalt, leading to costly repairs down the road. Here's where sealcoating comes in: a proactive approach that saves you money and extends the lifespan of your pavement.
Sealcoating: A Wise Investment
Think of sealcoating as an investment in your asphalt's future. This protective layer acts as a shield against:
Water damage: Rain, snowmelt, and even minor spills can seep into cracks, weakening the asphalt from the inside out. Sealcoating creates a waterproof barrier, preventing water infiltration and the formation of potholes.
Sun damage: Ultraviolet rays contribute to asphalt cracking and drying. Sealcoating contains UV protectants that shield the asphalt from the harsh sun, keeping it flexible and strong.
Oxidation: Over time, asphalt naturally oxidizes, losing its elasticity and turning brittle. Sealcoating slows down this process, maintaining the asphalt's integrity.
Oil and gas spills: These fluids can soften asphalt, leading to cracks and disintegration. Sealcoating creates a barrier against these harmful substances.
The Cost-Saving Power of Regular Sealcoating
While some may view sealcoating as an added expense, it's crucial to consider the long-term benefits. Studies show that a regular sealcoating program, applied every 1-2 years, can save you a staggering 48% over a 15-year period compared to neglecting your asphalt.
Here's the breakdown:
Regular sealcoating: Protects your asphalt, preventing minor cracks from becoming major problems. This reduces the need for costly repairs and premature repaving.
Neglecting sealcoating: Allows minor cracks to worsen, leading to water infiltration, base erosion, and pothole formation. This necessitates expensive repairs or even a complete asphalt replacement.
