Why Sealcoat

Protects From Freeze and Thaw Cycle:

Water is one of the most damaging elements to your asphalt surface. When frozen, water expands in size and becomes one of the strongest forces in nature. This problem is extreamly prevalent in the the Vancouver/Portland area, due to our climate. The problem with water collecting in the pores and cracks of asphalt is that the surface freeze first, forcing the ice to move downward. This, in turn, will cause deep cracking of the asphalt down to the gravel base, which will soften and damage the integrity of the base, leading to further deterioration of the asphalt, the effect of the freeze and thaw cycle will destroy the asphalt in a short period of time.

Resists Gas and Oil Drippings

Sealcoat fills the naturally porous surface of asphalt, protecting it from the damaging effects of water, gasoline, oil, diesel, salt, cleaning products, and chemicals.

Protects Surface From Drying Out:

Sealcoating will also restore the elasticity to the surface of the asphalt. Asphalt is elastic by nature, since it expands and contracts from the heat of the sun. Asphalt, being black in color, absorbs heat form the sun very efficiently. If the asphalt is left unprotected, the heat will dry out the blacktop and cause it to become brittle. This will lead to cracking and “alligatoring” followed by premature failure of the asphalt. After the asphalt has failed, the only option is to replace, which is costly compared to preventative maintenance.

Keep The Weeds and Moss Out:

Weeds tend to grow through cracks and breaks in the asphalt. At AME Asphalt Maintenance, we clean and fill in all cracks using a hot rubberized crack filler before sealcoating. This keeps the vegetation from growing back. Moss and weeds have a difficult time growing though a sealed surface. Call today, to request a free pavement maintenance estimate.
