As a homeowner, you may be asking, "Why should I sealcoat my driveway?" It all comes down to understanding the nature of asphalt. Bitumen, or what we commonly call asphalt, is a petroleum-based product that binds materials like sand, crushed stone, and gravel together. As this material oxidizes over time, it loses bitumen, resulting in your driveway becoming less flexible and more prone to cracking.
This is where sealcoating steps in. This process creates a protective layer that slows down asphalt oxidation, preserving the flexibility of your driveway. As a result, the likelihood of cracking and other damage significantly decreases. Moreover, sealcoating ensures that the deep, rich black color of fresh asphalt is maintained, signaling a well-cared-for property.
Don't wait until your driveway has faded to a dull gray to consider sealcoating. Regularly scheduled sealcoating with Erickson Asphalt can help maintain the integrity and appearance of your driveway, extending its lifespan and making your investment worthwhile.
Just like how a coat of varnish protects wood, sealcoating acts as a barrier for your driveway, adding a line of defense against external elements. This process offers several benefits beyond merely slowing the oxidation of your asphalt.
For instance, sealcoating effectively fills hairline cracks, preventing water from penetrating into the base of your driveway. This is crucial in preventing larger, more detrimental cracks from forming in the future. Additionally, the sealcoating layer protects the aggregate in your asphalt from wear, extending its service life.
But the benefits of sealcoating aren't purely practical - they're aesthetic too. It can rejuvenate the appearance of your driveway, restoring its dark black color and enhancing your property's curb appeal. Sealcoating also increases skid resistance, providing a safer surface for driving and walking. Plus, come winter, you'll notice that sealcoating helps snow and ice melt more quickly on your driveway. Let Erickson Asphalt show you the way to a safer, more durable, and appealing driveway with our professional sealcoating services.
While every driveway is different on average, you should have your driveway seal coated every three years.
No, we do not. We use Asphalt Emulsion Sealers, composed of the same components used in asphalt production. It's blended with extra minerals, polymers, and emulsifiers to strengthen its longevity. This is a great benefit, as the asphalt will take in more of the vital oils that the driveway sealer provides. At the same time, it's far more eco-friendly than coal tar. So rest assured that you're making a smart choice for the environment.
No. It is best to wait at least a year or two before sealing a brand-new asphalt driveway. This allows the oils in the asphalt to escape and be broken down by the sun's warmth. If you seal too soon, the sealer and the oil in the asphalt will mix and end up causing cracking and flaking.
