Asphalt driveways start to fail when water
penetrates the asphalt base. This happens when
the driveway pavement surface oxidizes, causing
the asphalt to dry and become brittle. Erosion of
the top layer of fine particles follows, revealing
larger stones and small cracks.
If left untreated, the driveway cracks will grow over
time, eventually allowing water to penetrate to the
base of the pavement. Water entering this base
material settles and lead to further driveway
cracking and an “alligator appearance.” Once
pavement reaches this stage, removal and
replacement is your only option.
Sealcoating seals the asphalt pavement, which
prevents oxidation and top layer erosion. Driveway
sealers replace the fine particles that have been
lost on older asphalt driveways. The process also
seals small fissures before they turn into large
driveway cracks, and prevents water from seeping
to the base material.
In addition, driveway sealers protect asphalt from
the harmful effects of the sun and chemical spills
such as oil and gasoline. The attractive black
surface provided by driveway sealcoating is easily
cleaned, and ideal for painting parking lot lines and
other markers. Finally, sealcoating costs pennies a
square foot compared to the dollars needed to
repair or replace damaged asphalt driveways.
