Here are answers to some common questions.
Asphalt maintenance involves various techniques such as crack filling, pothole repair, and sealcoating to extend the lifespan of your pavement. Regular maintenance prevents costly repairs, enhances safety, and improves the appearance of your property.
Common signs include visible cracks, potholes, fading color, pooling water, and rough surface texture. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent more extensive and expensive repairs.
We offer a range of services including crack filling, pothole repair, sealcoating, line striping, asphalt patching, and resurfacing. Each service is designed to keep your pavement in optimal condition.
Crack filling involves applying a hot or cold sealant to cracks in the asphalt to prevent water from entering and causing further damage. It's necessary to prevent cracks from expanding and leading to more serious pavement issues.
Pothole repair can be done by cleaning the pothole, applying a tack coat, filling it with hot or cold asphalt mix, and then compacting the area to ensure a smooth, durable surface. This process prevents further damage and enhances driving safety.
Regular maintenance like crack filling and sealcoating, proper drainage, and addressing any issues as soon as they arise can significantly reduce the likelihood of potholes forming.
Sealcoating is the application of a protective layer over asphalt to shield it from damage caused by UV rays, water, oils, and chemicals. Benefits include extending the pavement's lifespan, improving appearance, and making the surface easier to clean.
Sealcoating typically takes 24-48 hours to dry completely, depending on weather conditions. It's important to keep the area free from traffic during this time to ensure a durable finish.
Typically, asphalt should be sealcoated every 2-3 years. However, the frequency can vary depending on traffic volume, weather conditions, and the overall condition of the pavement.
Sealcoating can fill very minor surface imperfections, but it is not a substitute for crack filling or pothole repair. It works best as a preventative measure to protect the pavement.
Asphalt maintenance is best performed in warm, dry conditions. Cold or wet weather can affect the effectiveness of treatments like crack filling and sealcoating. Spring through early fall are ideal seasons. We can do pothole repair during the winter months.
Clear the area of any vehicles and obstacles. If there are any scheduled deliveries or events, reschedule them to avoid conflicts during maintenance.
The cost varies based on the size of the area, the extent of damage, and the specific services required. It's best to contact us for a detailed quote tailored to your needs.
After these services, it's important to avoid heavy traffic on the treated areas for at least 24-48 hours. Regular cleaning and inspection will help maintain the pavement's condition and extend the time between major maintenance.
