The Two Best Ways for Maintaining Asphalt
Repairing asphalt as it breaks is one method of asphalt maintenance. However, this is more reactive, with issues having to occur before contractors can take action. To preserve pavement, reverse damage, and increase the longevity of asphalt, asphalt contractors can offer either sealcoating or slurry seal services.
- Sealcoating
- Every asphalt contractor, property owner, and city municipality is familiar with sealcoating! Sealcoating is the process of applying a protective layer of asphalt to properly “seal” its surface. In sealing asphalt’s surface, sealcoating protects the pavement from deterioration caused by UV rays, moisture, and chemicals. Additionally, sealcoating can help reverse minor repairs such as cracking or minimal crumbling. Sealcoating is an incredibly affordable service lasting up to 5 years on average.
- Slurry Seals
- Slurry sealing is similar to sealcoating in that both achieve the same result of protecting asphalt pavement. However, slurry seals are best used for heavily trafficked roadways or asphalt needing more extensive repair. Slurry seals use a bituminous mixture made from water, asphalt emulsion, aggregate and additional additives to protect pavement, rebind asphalt, and strengthen roadways under severe stress. While slurry sealing is more expensive than sealcoating, an effective slurry seal can last up to 10 years.
