What is the Purpose of Sealcoating Your Pavement?

Even the most durable asphalt surfaces can be affected by UV rays and chemicals like oils. Over time, exposure to these elements can cause the surface to weaken, leading to cracks and warping. This can turn a once smooth parking lot into an unsightly and hazardous area.

Instead of spending thousands on reactive repairs, opt for sealcoating services from PKS Paving to prevent further damage and protect your pavement.

Sealcoating creates a waterproof barrier that shields asphalt or concrete surfaces from water, weather fluctuations, oxidation, and other sources of damage. It’s an essential service for property owners looking to preserve both the appearance and durability of their pavement.

Reactive vs. Proactive Asphalt Pavement Maintenance

Sealcoating is a proactive maintenance solution that prevents costly repairs by adding a protective barrier to your pavement. It doesn’t address existing damage like cracks or potholes, which must be repaired before sealcoating.

Unlike reactive maintenance, which fixes current issues, proactive maintenance like sealcoating helps avoid future problems, saving time and money. Contractors and property owners prefer it because it:

The Asphalt Sealcoating Process

You can trust the team at PKS Paving for a professional, top-quality sealcoating application. For every surface we sealcoat, we follow these comprehensive steps:

Clean

We begin by cleaning and prepping the surface. Using power blowers and stiff brooms, we clear away grime, dust, and debris for proper sealcoat application and adhesion.

Prepare

The sealcoat material is then prepared in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendation. This helps prevent the coating from additional wear or slickness that could affect its functionality.

Striping & Marking

Once the sealant is fully dry and cured, we will restripe and remark the surface according to your surface needs and ADA regulations. This may include stall lines, traffic flow signage, or ADA markings. 

Benefits of Sealcoating Your Parking Lot

Your parking lot is one of the highest-traffic surfaces on your property, so routine preventative maintenance helps you avoid potential safety hazards and maintains your customers’ positive impression of your business.

Parking lot sealcoating provides a smooth, safer driving or walking experience for customers by preventing or delaying deterioration from the elements and wear and tear.

PKS Paving offers superior parking lot sealcoating services that deliver the following perks:

Slows Oxidation of Your Pavement

When exposed to damaging UV rays, the asphalt binder that holds the components together starts to rapidly deteriorate in a process known as oxidation. When this progresses, the asphalt loses necessary oils, becoming brittle and prone to cracking.

However, the best defense against asphalt oxidation is seal coating. It adds an extra layer of protection against UV rays, making oxidation less likely to occur.

Enhances Curb Appeal

Damaged pavement can create a negative first impression, deterring new or returning customers and even potential buyers.

With regular maintenance, such as sealcoating, you can ensure your pavement remains smooth and attractive, protecting it from cracks and potholes that can make your property look unkempt.

Prevents Water Intrusion

Sealcoating prevents water intrusion into surfaces by filling in even the finest cracks or spaces that form when pavement starts to age.

Filling these cracks limits any entry points for water to seep into the surface, preventing water damage and extending the pavement’s lifespan.

Extends Pavement Life

Sealcoating plays a crucial role in enhancing the longevity of pavement by protecting it from wear and tear. With proper care, a well-built asphalt pavement can endure for over 15 years, and proper sealcoating is key to maintaining its condition throughout that time.

How Long Does Sealcoating Last?​

Typically, sealcoat will provide optimal protection for your surface for about 2 to 3 years, depending on your local climate and usage. 

Our team at PKS Paving will help create a customized maintenance plan for sealcoating, based on your usage and location.

How Long Does Sealcoating Take to Dry?

Typically, asphalt sealer requires 24 to 48 hours to fully dry, which can vary depending on weather conditions such as wind, rain, or temperature. For optimal results, sealcoating should be applied when temperatures are between 50 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

At PKS Paving, we aim to minimize disruption to your business. We ensure a quick and efficient process while allowing ample drying time for lasting results.
