A Properly Constructed Asphalt parking lot or driveway seldom wears out. However, it is not immune to the deterioration process that begins immediately after the asphalt is put down. Under most normal conditions and without maintenance major problems will start within 5 to 7 years and will almost always need to be replaced if not properly maintained over the expected life of the asphalt surface you have.
Why Sealcoat? - An asphalt parking lot or driveway represents a significant investment and requires attention. Raw wood on a building requires paint and a cedar deck needs stain. These are protections against damage by the elements. The rich black appearance stores heat from the sun making the asphalt more flexible and pliable.
Crack Filling - An asphalt parking lot or driveway requires, sometimes, a crack filling process whereby we fill cracks in the blacktop andf asphalt in order to keep the elements from deteriorating the surface itself. Count on us to do the job right when it comes to repairing the blacktop or asphalt surface before we seal coat it. This ensures a proper job and helps extend the life of the surface.
Asphalt and Blacktop Areas don’t seem to get the same priority but sealcoating and crack filling a sound pavement will give it a much longer life than that of an unsealed pavement. Our goal is to minimize damage to the surface and to avoid or delay an expensive asphalt overlay or complete removal. Contact the asphalt and blacktop professionals at A.A.T.
