Benefits of Sealcoating Asphalt
Nothing lasts forever – including asphalt pavement. But with regular maintenance like sealcoating, you can help extend the life of asphalt paving and improve the curb appeal of your property. Think of sealcoating as a preventative maintenance for your driveway or parking lot. Being proactive saves you money in the long run, protecting from cracks and potholes.
Improves the Appearance of Asphalt
New sealcoating can preserve the resilience of asphalt surfaces, hide small cracks and make traffic lines on parking lots more visible. The dark black color of newly applied sealcoat improves the appearance of old asphalt, making your parking lot look nearly brand new. The smooth, non-porous surface stays cleaner because rain washes away dirt and debris more easily. It is ideal for sweeping, which lowers cleaning costs for your parking lot.
It Protects the Asphalt
Cracks in asphalt can absorb oxygen and UV rays. The sun’s rays can warp the asphalt and cause the color to quickly fade. Sealcoating prevents water, car fluids, water, the sun, salt, and other chemicals from warping the color or eating away at the asphalt. It also acts as a waterproofing agent, minimizing the rate at which water enters the asphalt.
Sealcoating Promotes Longevity
Sealcoating costs pennies per square foot compared to the cost needed to repair or replace damages asphalt. Asphalt weathers more quickly than concrete and it’s prone to damage from both the elements and from the cars that pass over it. When sealcoat is properly applied, it can significantly lengthen the lifespan of asphalt. That means the road or parking lot will last much longer after it’s been sealed than it would otherwise since it helps prevent damage that would naturally occur over time.
It’s much easier to prevent issues than to find someone to quickly fix damaged asphalt. Our team at AAA Total Property Solutions can sealcoat your parking lot to keep it looking new.
