Sealcoating
What Is Sealcoating?
Sealcoat is a durable material used to refresh worn-out asphalt and prevent further weathering from occurring. Sealcoating is the process of applying asphalt emulsion across desired surfaces.
How Frequently Is Sealcoating Required?
Your asphalt is likely in need of sealcoating if it has been in place longer than 10 years. Once your asphalt has received an initial round of seal coat it needs to be recoated every 2-5 years.
- It’s a crisis-based approach
- It reflects a neglect of work responsibilities
- It causes unexpected downtime
- It produces delays in service
- It costs more long-term
Save yourself time, money, and headaches when you opt for a proactive approach to maintenance. Here are some other benefits of being proactive:
- It’s a preparation-based approach
- It reflects an organized execution of work responsibilities
- It maximizes the pavement’s lifespan
- It helps you provide a detailed report of facility management metrics
The Process
Prepare
Edge and Tape
We want to make sure that sealcoat is only applied where it’s needed. We will tape off and seal areas where sealcoat won’t be applied to avoid confusion and mistakes from the get-go.
Apply the Sealcoat
We will apply the sealcoat to the indicated areas using a spray or squeegee technique.
Coat Application
After the initial application, we will also add another sealing layer to guarantee a flawless finish.
Dry & Cure
We will allow the sealcoat to dry and cure for 12-36 hours depending on the size and scope of the project.
Striping and Markings
If necessary, we will repaint lane markers, parking spot lines, and other essential pavement markings.
