What Is Asphalt Sealing?

Asphalt emulsion sealants are made of asphalt, water, and an emulsifier. Asphalt sealcoating limits permeability of the surface and helps prevent cracking and pothole formation in the pavement. Asphalt sealing should be done within 6 months of asphalt installation and then re-done every 1 to 3 years.

Is Sealing My Asphalt Surface Necessary?

Yes. Sealing your asphalt surface is 100% necessary to maintain a long-lasting, crack-free, and aesthetic surface. Asphalt sealcoating prevents damage from water, UV rays, and oil spills. These elements can cause cracks, oxidation, and pothole formation over time. Asphalt sealcoating mitigates the deterioration of asphalt by overlaying the existing asphalt surface with an emulsion sealant layer. Sealcoating can also enhance the appearance of faded asphalt. The result is a protected and sealed pavement surface that is more durable and more attractive.
