There are many things which can affect the deterioration of asphalt pavement. These include moisture in the form of rain or snow. When there are normal wear and tear due to dirt collecting in minute cracks, a layer of seal-coating will prevent those minor imperfections to become major ones.

There are two benefits to sealcoating. Crack filling and restoration of the original black asphalt color. The coating creates an effective barrier against water, ultraviolet rays, and petroleum, each of which will contribute to the deterioration of the surface. Protection from ultraviolet rays is one of the more important elements because the liquid asphalt is broken down and weakened over time. The asphalt will oxidize and lose its flexibility when it does not have any sealcoating. The weight of vehicles will cause the exposed asphalt to become brittle and show cracks.

In order to reduce further damage, taking pro-active measures is important. The major cause of surface paving decay is the effect of water. Cracks usually begin small as a result of the freeze-thaw cycle. As moisture gets into the crack, it works its way beneath the top layer. The water then begins to disturb the deeper layer, which can cause major damage to the affected area.

The seal coating applied to cracks extends the life of the paving. This makes good economic sense. This is not a do-it-yourself project, though. To be sure of good quality results which last, it is important to use the right professional equipment and the expertise of good installers.

If cracks are untreated, vegetation can begin to grow in the dirt which collects. The roots from the vegetation put further pressure on the asphalt. As these cracks become larger, they can become more vulnerable to more water collecting. Over time, this can cause major potholes and soft spots. We are able to take care of these problems easily, especially if they are addressed quickly.
