Why Asphalt Sealcoating Matters
The primary cause of asphalt failure is the penetration of water into the asphalt base. Once water gets in, the process of damage accelerates:
- Oxidation begins shortly after asphalt is placed, causing it to become dry and brittle.
- The surface aggregate starts wearing away under traffic and weather.
- Cracks form, allowing even more water to seep into the base material.
- The base shifts and settles, leading to more surface cracking and potholes.
Sealcoating is the first line of defense. A properly applied sealcoat:
- Seals the surface from water, oil, and chemical penetration
- Slows oxidation and weathering from sun, snow, and ice
- Restores a clean, rich black appearance
- Improves curb appeal and property value
- Reduces long-term repair and replacement costs
