- Snow and ice melt faster on seal coated surfaces
- Protects against water penetration, reducing damage caused by frost, snow, and rain
- Sealcoating allows asphalt to be more pliable reducing the risk of cracking
- Sealcoating leaves your pavement with a fresh new look
- Reduces future cleaning costs
When Is It Time to Replace Your Lot?
You know it’s time to replace your asphalt parking lot when you see cracks everywhere. This is completely normal, and happens over time to every lot. Cracks occur in various different ways, depending on the stressors of the environment. It’s important to keep track of the cracks in your parking lot, monitoring their formation and how quickly they are growing.
Another sign it is time to get your parking lot redone is if you have uneven surfaces and drainage issues. Not only does an unlevel lot make a bumpy ride for your visitors, it can also create drainage issues which must be looked at quickly to prevent even more damage to your lot.
Has your parking lot changed from black to grey? Aspects like direct sunlight and heavy vehicle usage will change the color of your asphalt. Not only does this make your lot look older and less put together, aged pavement is more prone to cracking in the future due to brittleness.
