Asphalt Driveways and Patching

  Your parking lot makes the first impression when people show up at your community. For this reason, it is important to maintain the look of your property to preserve the value of your community. Seal coating provides an extra layer of protection, shielding against harmful intrusions of the adverse elements mentioned above. Furthermore, when the seal coating contractor applies the asphalt sealant according to the manufacturers’ recommendations, this will extend the lifespan of the pavement surface. Asphalt sealers are commonly bituminous-based products. Seal coating equates to a liquid formulation consisting of the stated emulsions and a combination of water, silica, and polymer additives alongside other property fillers and solids. During the seal coat process, these products are applied either by brush, spray, or squeegee. In a nutshell, when you regularly schedule seal coating as part of your asphalt maintenance, you’ll significantly reduce the cost of having to repair or repla...

  Crack sealing is a method in which hot sealant is applied to working cracks to prevent water intrusion.Crack seal products are used to fill individual pavement cracks to prevent entry of water or other non-compressible substances such as sand, dirt, rocks or weeds. Crack sealant is typically used on early stage longitudinal cracks, transverse cracks, reflection cracks and block cracks. Fatigue cracks are most often too extensive to warrant filling with crack sealer; they usually require an area treatment such as a patch or reconstruction. Crack filler material is typically some form of rubberized asphalt or sand slurry. In every crack seal estimate, Asphalt Driveway includes routing, a process performed before cracks are sealed. Routing is done with a piece of equipment that expands all cracks to ¼” wide, which creates a reservoir for the rubberized crack sealant to sit in. Next, crews clean out the cracks to allow the best adhesion possible. Finally, rubber is installed into the...
