When the contractors first installed your pavement, they started from the bottom foundation and worked their way up to the final layer. Now, that surface on top serves as the primary point where most damage occurs. As cars travel over the pavement and it gets exposed to the weather, the asphalt surface can begin to break down. Planning a successful sealcoating job creates the ultimate layer of protection that prevents many common asphalt problems that require extensive repairs.
What Is the Importance of Arranging for a Sealcoating Job?
Asphalt maintenance involves cleaning, protecting and making minor repairs on the surface. A seal coat is simply a layer of protection that provides benefits such as blocking UV rays and preventing oil and other fluids from seeping into tiny hairline cracks in the asphalt. If you were to opt out of doing this important part of the maintenance plan, then you could expect the pavement to wear down within just a couple of years compared to lasting for more than a decade with proper care.
How Much Does Material Selection Impact the Outcome?
Our asphalt sealcoating contractors will be the first to tell you that a successful job starts before you ever see us working. After we’ve had a consultation to determine your asphalt care needs, we’ll set to work choosing the right type of binder, fillers and aggregates to provide the highest level of protection for your asphalt pavement. Through our highly selective materials selection process, we’ve cultivated the highest grade suppliers for every ingredient that we put into our asphalt sealing mix.
What Other Decisions Go Into a Successful Sealcoating Job?
Sealcoating Marietta asphalt paved surfaces also includes taking the weather into consideration to make sure that the temperature range is ideal for the materials to cure properly.
In addition to the planning work that goes into a successful project, sealcoating contractors also understand the importance of properly prepping the surface. Cleaning off oil, blowing away debris and filling in larger cracks all make the surface better for the asphalt sealant to adhere to once we reach the application stage of the project.
Once the project begins, our contractors then use their knowledge and experience to prepare the materials. We begin by following the manufacture’s recommendations for mixing our materials, and we use special equipment to create mechanical agitation that helps to keep all of the particles mixed properly into the suspension. Maintaining a balanced mixture makes creating a smooth and even surface easier so that the finished pavement lasts longer.
