Yes, sealcoating makes your asphalt look clean and uniform with a fresh, black finish. But there's more to sealcoating than good looks.
Without sealcoating, asphalt is vulnerable to a range of damaging effects that can significantly reduce its lifespan. Over time, exposure to sunlight, water, chemicals, and heavy traffic can cause the asphalt to deteriorate, leading to cracks, potholes, and other forms of damage.
One of the main issues with unsealed asphalt is water penetration. When water seeps into cracks and pores in the asphalt, it can weaken the base and sub-base layers, leading to more extensive damage such as potholes and heaving. In colder climates, water that freezes and thaws can further exacerbate these issues, causing the asphalt to crack and break apart.
UV rays from the sun can also degrade the asphalt binder, causing it to become brittle and more susceptible to cracking. Chemicals such as gasoline, oil, and de-icing salts can also break down the asphalt and accelerate its deterioration.
Sealcoating helps to mitigate these risks by providing a protective barrier that seals out water, UV rays, and chemicals, prolonging the life of the asphalt. Typically, asphalt that is sealcoated regularly can last up to 30 years or more, versus about half that time if unsealed.
