Asphalt is generally designed to last a long time, it’s economical and low maintenance. But that doesn’t mean it requires no maintenance at all.
At Diamond Line Painting, we provide asphalt crack repair and seal coating services to keep your asphalt in good condition, ensuring it lasts well into the future.
Crack Repair
If you have found cracks in your asphalt, you need to have it tended to immediately, before the problem gets much worse – and a lot more expensive. Cracks generally result from water or moisture getting underneath the asphalt itself, creating small cracks which can easily become much larger if they are not fixed in a timely manner.
At Diamond Line Painting, we want to get to the small cracks before they have the chance to expand, which is why we recommend you call us at the first sign of any problems. If you leave it too long, you risk having to replace your asphalt which can be an expensive process.
Once you have your cracks fixed, the best way to stop cracks forming in future is to use preventative measures, including seal coating.
Extend the life of your paved areas.
Seal Coating
Seal coating your asphalt helps to extend its life, sealing the small cracks and keeping water out of the pores to help prevent further cracking. It is the process of using asphalt, mixed with water, fillers, emulsifying agents and additives and applying these in thin coats on your asphalt to seal it – before those small cracks turn into a much bigger problem.
Advantages of seal coating:
- Seal coating is applied to asphalt to protect it from the elements, including the weather (snow and hail, sunshine and extreme heat); to protect it from oil and gas; and to ensure it lasts under heavy traffic.
- It enhances the finish of your asphalt so it is easier to maintain and clean. It also makes it look better, giving it a rich satin-like finish, which is ideal if your asphalt is at the front of your home or business.
- It works like a waterproof agent, preventing water from being able to seep below the surface, reducing UV ray and oxygen exposure.
- Slows damage from the sun, which can lead to cracking; and it can help your asphalt to become more flexible so it can hold more traffic without damage.
- It will save you money. Asphalt isn’t cheap so if you can extend the life of your asphalt by seal coating, it means you won’t have to pay to replace it as fast.
Consider seal coating to be preventative maintenance, helping to protect your driveway from the elements; or enhancing your business brand by providing walk-in clients with a crisp and clean first impression.
