Asphalt Defects

Sealcoating extends the appearance and durability of your driveway

Sealcoating Protects Driveways

Crack Filling

Cracks are among the most common types of asphalt defects. Crack filling is necessary maintenance to prevent water penetration during freeze/thaw cycles delaying further deterioration of the asphalt surface.  Crack repairs sometimes re-open and are not a permanent fix. We recommend yearly maintenance to prevent water penetration.

We use two different types of crack filling material. Cold pour crack fill is a material that is usually hand applied to minor crack, usually a quarter to a half inch in size. Hot pour crack fill is a rubber -like commercial grade material that has elastic like properties and is used for most repairs The hot pour crackfill dries in less than two minutes and can be sealcoated immediately.  Note that all crack fill materials used will have a subtle appearance through the sealcoating.  All measures will be taken to prevent exposure.  The solid block is melted to a temperature of 375 degrees in a kettle applicator.  Once that temperature has been reached the materials spread over the crack adhering to the inside, creating a barrier ensuring long lasting protection.

Hot pour crack filler remains soft and flexible to flex with the seasonal temperatures. However, due to its properties, it will be noticeable once the driveway has been sealcoated and can not be prevented. All measures will be taken to prevent exposure.

Sealcoating Preserves Driveway Appearance

Oil Stains

Typically oil stains are sprayed with a cleaner, scraped, then blotted with a cloth and then treated with an oil spot latex primer which ensures the sealer adheres to the asphalt surface.  For severe oil stains we sometimes use a torch to remove an abundant amount of petroleum product to help prevent oil stains from resurfacing through the sealer. 
Sealcoating Prevents Water Infiltration

Moss/Algae

Through process of elimination, we have found the best method to remediate moss/algae is a bleach, trisodium phosphate and water mix.  The mix is applied liberally with a garden sprayer, then scrubbed with a metal bristle brush.  This is a very labor intensive approach, but is the most effective way to prevent a defective sealcoat application. The mix is primarily water and is safe for humans, pets and vegetation. It is applied cautiously with consideration to the surroundings.
Sealcoating Stops Oxidization

Asphalt Patching

Our company uses high grade quality cold patch material to fill in holes that need to be patched. The material is carefully compacted in layers for best adhesion and  to prevent loss of material over time.  After compaction, a liberal a mount of Black Sand is poured over the patched area and further compacted to fill voids and to improve the appearance before and after sealcoat application.
