Benefits to Maintaining with Seal Coat

The Problem

Asphalt is a combination of many materials composed in a structure that allows for weather

elements (such as rain), salts, and other substances to attack and break it down.  As the asphalt

molecules break down, much of the original benefits - including weatherproofing - are lost.  this is

first observed visually by the color change in the asphalt surface: from black to gray.  The rate of pavement deterioration depends upon variables including weather or climate conditions, traffic volumes and frequency of maintenance.  After the visual change in color of the asphalt surface, weather, oils and other harmful materials can significantly deteriorate the pavement surface.  Oils from vehicle engines, often parked stationary for long periods of time, can cause considerable damage to any unmaintained pavement surface.

     Also, further deterioration of unmaintained pavement leads to minor cracks which become wider and deeper without remedy.  If these cracks are not remedied, water and other harmful substances will seep into the base and damage the pavement's load bearing capacity, ultimately causing pavement failure.  The effects of this are shown in serious "alligatoring", rutting, and overall pavement failure.

     Before long, your parking lot is riddled with cracks, potholes and drainage issues that are seemingly beyond repair.  Unmaintained asphalt shows its deterioration and damage quickly, in as little as two years, and cracks and potholes quickly develop.  Once the cracking forms, lack of

proper maintenance will lead to serious liability issues caused be severe potholes and your pavement investment will be in risk of complete failure.  The deterioration of unmaintained asphalt

happens much faster than maintained asphalt and, consequently, costs much more money over time.

The Solution

Seal coat, specifically refined coal tar, is a mixture of chemicals with a structure that does not allow

destructive elements to affect its properties.  This material, as a protective coat of asphalt, forms a barrier to protect against weather, salts, oils, and destructive substances that lead to pavement failure.  This sealant also restores the asphalt's rich black color, dramatically improving property appearance.  Potential customers' and guests' first impression is your parking lot: a fresh, new appearance will be the best presentation no matter your industry.  By consistently protecting the asphalt pavement from deterioration and from failure, you are prolonging the life of your original asphalt by as much as eight years, or almost double the expected life of an unmaintained pavement surface, without considerable investment in an overlay or other significant remedy.

     Parking lot maintenance with seal coat usually means a three to five year cycle of seal coating, including crack fill for developing cracks later in the pavement's life cycle, which prolongs the original pavement's life as well as ensuring the appearance of your property.  

The benefits to consistent parking lot maintenance are clear:

     * Protecting your asphalt pavement investment

     * Avoiding serious liability issues to tenants, guests and customers

     * Beautify the landscape and appearance

     * Plus - save money over the life of your pavement vs. a unmaintained  pavement
