Sealcoating
What Is Sealcoating?
Sealcoating provides essential protection for pavement by guarding against oxidation and chemical spills while enhancing its appearance. This durable material revitalizes worn surfaces and acts as a preventative measure against future damage.
How Frequently Is Sealcoating Required?
The frequency with which sealcoat should be applied depends on these three factors:
The pavement’s age and condition
How often the pavement is used
Local climate and weather conditions
Reactive vs. Proactive Maintenance
Reactive Maintenance
Reactive maintenance is less effective because:
- 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
Proactive Maintenance
Proactive maintenance is a more effective alternative to reactive maintenance because it addresses minor damage before it worsens. Other benefits include the following:
- 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
We abide by the same six-step process for each sealcoating service:
Prepare
We remove debris and other obstructions from the paved surface to make sure the sealcoat material applies properly. We also fill cracks, patch potholes, and perform other repair tasks as needed.
Edge and Tape
We separate the areas that need sealcoating from the areas that don’t need sealcoating with tape or other materials.
Apply the Sealcoat
We use a spray or squeegee system to apply the coal-tar-based or asphalt-based sealcoat material.
Coat Application
We cover the sealcoat in an additional protective layer to ensure proper adhesion and a smooth surface.
Dry & Cure
We let the sealcoat dry for 12 to 36 hours.
Striping and Markings
We paint lane markings, parking spot lines, and more as requested.
