Importance of Asphalt Sealcoating

Asphalt sealcoating is an essential maintenance practice for anyone looking to protect their pavement investment. The primary purpose of sealcoating is to provide a protective layer on top of the asphalt surface that helps to prevent damage from weathering, oxidation, and other environmental factors. Without sealcoating, asphalt pavement can become brittle and crack, allowing water and other harmful substances to penetrate the surface and causing significant damage over time. Sealcoating also provides a fresh, black finish that enhances the pavement’s appearance and improves the property’s curb appeal. By maintaining a smooth, even surface, sealcoating can also help to reduce liability concerns associated with accidents or injuries caused by uneven or damaged pavement.

Frequently Asked Questions about Asphalt Sealcoating

Why sealcoat pavement parking lots?

Asphalt is made up of stones and fine sands; asphalt cement acts as the glue to hold them together, further providing the pavement with a rich, black color.

Unfortunately, over time, the binder begins to oxidize from exposure to the sun, rain, snow, and other elements, causing the pavement to fade to gray, and crack from vehicle traffic. Additionally, exposure to motor oil leaks, landscaping, and household chemicals degrades the pavement.

Appling sealcoating creates a barrier protecting the asphalt from the harmful sun’s UV rays, rain, snow, and harmful chemicals.

How long does sealcoating last?

Sealcoating can last up to three years if your pavement is in great shape, however, older asphalt may need to be resealed annually.

How long does sealcoating take to dry?

This often depends on the humidity, exposure to the sun, and temperatures. In most cases, you can walk on your pavement within 4 to 8 hours and open it to auto traffic within 24 to 48 hours after sealcoating.

What causes the most wear and tear to a seal coated asphalt surface?

In the Indianapolis area, we experience extreme weather conditions; freezing temperatures, snow and the effects snowplowing can have on your pavement, sand, salt, rain/water run-off and the summer heat. All these elements can wreak havoc on asphalt.
