Reasons to Seal Coat

Seal Coating.  What is it? Why do we use it?  What are the benefits? Seal coating creates a barrier to keep oil and gas from weakening the asphalt below. Asphalt can start to deteriorate with snow, rain, sun and auto fluids that can leak into it.  Seal Coating can prevent the deteriorating from happening rapidly, extends the life of your pavement, and in the long run, saves you money.

Seal Coating Helps Prevent High Repair Costs

Your parking lot or driveway is directly exposed to the elements if it’s not seal coated. This causes damage such as cracks and potholes over time. It’s expensive to repair, and if the damage isn’t contained, you may need a whole new driveway or parking lot sooner than expected. How do you avoid these expensive costs? With seal coating.

 Seal Coating Prevents Damage from Automotive Fluids

Asphalt is a petroleum product, and when auto fluids such as oil and gas fall on the surface it can dissolve into the asphalt. This softens the surface and eventually causes breakage and cracks. Oil and gas will inevitably fall onto your asphalt driveway or parking lot. While you can clean the spills yourself, it’s far easier to protect your parking lot or driveway from this damage with seal coating.

Seal Coating Keeps Asphalt Looking New 

Seal coating goes on in a black color that immediately boosts the appearance of your asphalt and the overall look of your property. It also provides a smooth, non-porous surface that will allow rain to easily wash dirt and debris away. This keeps your parking lot looking clean and beautiful.
