Sealcoating
Sealcoating
What Is Sealcoating?
Sealcoat material is poured onto a worn asphalt surface to rejuvenate it and prevent further damage.
How Frequently Is Sealcoating Required?
Schedule sealcoating services based on 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 produces delays in service
- It costs more long-term
Preventative Maintenance
Proactive maintenance is the preferred approach because it fixes small problems before they worsen and prevents other problems from happening at all. Here are some additional benefits:
- 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 follow these six steps for each sealcoating service:
Prepare
We ensure the proper application of sealcoat material by eliminating debris and obstructions from the pavement. We also repair cracks, potholes, and other damages as needed.
Edge and Tape
We use tape or other materials to block off areas that don’t require sealcoat treatment.
Apply the Sealcoat
We apply the coal-tar-based or asphalt-based sealcoat material with a spray or squeegee system.
Coat Application
We equip the sealcoat with a sealant layer to ensure it adheres properly and has a smooth finish.
Dry and Cure
We wait 12 to 36 hours for the sealcoat to dry.
Striping and Markings
We apply new lane markings, parking spot lines, and other pavement markings as needed.
