Check your Driveways
*Check for rutted or severely broken parts of the asphalt pavement where the pavement appears to be like the hide of an alligator which are called alligator cracks. At this point, you cannot crack fill it.
*Take a look at the cracks and also check if it is allowing water intrusion into the base, foundations, doors, or other important places. If yes, then a new driveway is the only cure to the issues.
Benefits of Sealcoating
*Blacktop sealcoating is the application of a thin liquid layer over an asphalt pavement to protect it from damage caused by UV rays, rain, snow, and fluids from vehicles. Before sealcoating, cracks, potholes and other damages must be repaired. After these processes, a quality blacktop sealcoating will help prevent such damages from forming in future and also extend the life of asphalt pavement.
*Regular sealcoating can be done at a very low cost but can save you from high expenditure for constructing a new driveway. A sealcoated and properly maintained asphalt surface will have a long lifetime and would reduce repair costs for an extended period.
*When exposed to hazardous elements, asphalt pavement fades away. A sealcoat application improves the appearance of asphalt and gives it an attractive black look.
*Sealcoating speeds up melting of ice on the surface of the driveway which protects it against rain, snow, and frost damage.
