Asphalt is a durable material, which is why both residential and commercial properties use it for driveways, parking lots, and more. It’s meant to be long-lasting, but you’ll want to prioritize services like asphalt sealing to extend your asphalt’s lifespan as much as possible. We recommend resealing your asphalt every two to three years. Below are three reasons why you should hire asphalt sealing services when the time comes for them.
Aesthetic appeal. Applying a fresh coat of sealant to your asphalt freshens up the asphalt’s appearance. Visual appeal is important for your property and given asphalt’s tendency to look duller the more it ages, periodically adding a sealant will boost curb appeal.
Durability. Constant exposure to outdoor elements can cause your asphalt to become more brittle. Certain elements, such as oil from cars and UV rays, can cause your asphalt to be more susceptible to certain damages, such as cracking or fading. Asphalt sealing helps increase the durability of your asphalt by providing a protective barrier between the asphalt and these outdoor elements.
Pothole prevention. Perhaps the biggest issue that an asphalt surface can encounter is pothole formation. Potholes can damage vehicles and pose a tripping hazard for people, so you’ll want to do what you can to prevent them from forming. Due to the protective barrier of an asphalt sealant, potholes are less likely to form on properly sealed asphalt.
