SealCoat EXTENDS Asphalt's Life
To prevent more costly asphalt repairs, asphalt sealcoat is a low-cost solution for your Tacoma property. Some of the main benefits of driveway sealing or parking lot sealing are:
- Protection from sun exposure and water intrusion
- Resists spills fro oil and gas
- Restores appearance
- Easier to maintain
Why Protect Unsealed or Old Sealed Surfaces?
Unsealed asphalt surfaces and old sealed asphalt surfaces eventually deteriorate.
Sealing protects the asphalt from the sun's ultraviolet rays, which deteriorate its strength and flexible properties. Asphalt deteriorates over time, becoming brittle and full of cracks, allowing water to penetrate. Gas leaks and oil leaks deteriorate asphalt even further, softening and pitting it. In all of these cases, you will need to hire a Tacoma asphalt contractor to either patch or repave.
Asphalt Sealcoat process
1) Surface Preparation
Preparation is key to long a long-lasting sealcoat for your property in Tacoma! As asphalt contractors, we ensure the asphalt is 100% clean we use a combination of pressure washers, blowers, and power brooms to remove any moss, dirt, oil, and other impurities prior to sealing.
2) Crack Fill
If the asphalt has cracks greater than 1/4", we fill them using hot (400 degrees) rubberized crack filler. For heavily cracked (alligatored) areas we use specialty cold patch filler.
3) Sealcoat Application
Using our Tacoma supplier's premium sealer, we apply two coats of sealer using specialty sealing brooms. If there are any areas where more precise application is required, such as next to a garage door, we use paintbrushes.
4) Cure Time
After the second coat is applied, curing time is about 24 hours. During this time, keep the sprinklers off and we highly reccommend that no one should drive on it.
