Protecting Your Asphalt Driveway

Increase the life span of your Asphalt

The cost of replacing an asphalt driveway can cost a homeowner a lot of money! Crack sealing and Asphalt Sealcoating are two excellent methods any homeowner can use to extend the lifespan of their concrete.

Asphalt Sealing on Driveway

Crack Sealing

The key to these small repairs is to catch the cracks while they are still small. Once filled, the filling inhibits crack growth and helps to prevent new cracks from forming. The sealing will prevent water and non-compressible materials out of cracks. By keeping out water, this will eliminate any sub-base erosion, reduce damage caused by changing temperatures and improve the overall service life of your pavement.

Sealcoating

Is a proactive method of preventing cracks from happening. Sealcoating provides a layer of protection by blocking out water, oils, and UV damage. The coating creates a slip resistant surface with a beautiful dark finish that will increase the curb appeal of any parking lot or Driveway. It is recommended to asphalt sealcoat your pavement every 2-3 years to extend the lifespan of your asphalt.

The Process of Sealcoating

Our team of professionals will pressure wash removing dirt, dust and debris. Then, we fill any cracks, potholes, or additional damaged areas. Followed by, our team will complete the job by applying seal coating material on top of your driveway or parking lot.

Benefits of Sealcoating your Asphalt

  • Prevents costly damages created by the Elements and UV Rays
  • Increases your home or business’s curb appeals
  • Keeps wear and tear on the surface to a minimum
  • Creates safer driving conditions on your property
  • Cost savings in the long term because of the reduced risk of repairs.

Recommendation for Asphalt resealing in Alberta

It is recommended that asphalt resealing be done every 3-4 years. This time frame though can be altered by several factors including traffic and weather in your area. If you are not sure about your property, you can get a complimentary estimate through our team.

The best time of the year for seal coating is typically later in the season at end of summer of early fall. This period of time sees less rain fall that can help with the sealcoating process for a better outcome.
