After service tips
Sealer
Sealcoat will fade as the binders and polymers degrade and the asphalt will begin to turn back to a grey Hue after a few years. It is important to refresh the sealer every few years in order to readd binders and protection to the asphalt to extend the life and longevity as much as possible.
Sealcoating WILL not fix potholes, cracks, high spots, low spots or defects. It WILL protect and strengthen your asphalt.
Preventive Maintenance is Key
Crackfill
When using Hot Liquid Crackfill, sometimes a cooling off or indentation can show giving the appearance that a crack may not be sealed. This may be an illusion due to the cooling and "bell" shaping of the liquid within the crack itself.
Crackfill IS NOT an insecticide. It also does not kill grass or weeds. Grass can sometimes STILL break through liquid crackfill. The goal of the crackfill is to prevent moisture penetration at the crack that can and will erode the sub base and weaken the underlayment of the asphalt.
Sealing the cracks will significantly slow the erosion and deterioration that is happening to extend the overall life of your asphalt.
