Sealcoating St. Charles is among the most critical parts of any smart plan for asphalt management. Applied carefully in thin layers, pavement sealer is used for the protection of paved surfaces against sun exposure, gas, salt, oil and water.
Sealcoating St. Charles
Once freshly covered with the black sealant product, asphalt pavement appears like new. Whether applied to a residential driveway or the parking lot of a large business, Sealcoating St. Charles helps present an updated look that enhances curb appeal in addition to other benefits like:
Slows down the oxidation process and water seepage. Quality sealant fills in gaps on the surface, which minimizes exposure to sun and oxygen while also reducing how deep water and vehicle fluids can seep into the asphalt and cause disruption. Without the protection of sealant, rainwater can penetrate freely, leading to problematic expansion from freeze and thaw cycles and asphalt contraction that forms cracks and gaps.
Safety first. A well-maintained and sealed asphalt driveway will be shielded from premature eroding and extensive cracks. That makes for a much smoother ride and a generally safer surface.
Sealant protects an asphalt driveway from gas and oil spills, sun exposure, deterioration from ice melting salt, and actually helps to melt away snow and ice quicker while improving appearances.
Prolong the service lifespan of your driveway with Sealcoating St. Charles
When it is a part of a preventive maintenance plan sealcoating – when applied around one to two years after initial asphalt installation and every two years after – can serve to lengthen the service life of an asphalt driveway by as long as 20 years.
Sealcoating St. Charles also makes sweeping off and cleaning your asphalt driveway or lot much easier because it creates a smoother surface.
Note that when an asphalt driveway has not been maintained for a long period – say for ten years or more – and shows cracks, discoloration and crumbling edges, then sealcoating will not provide much value in terms of structural improvement and its result will be purely cosmetic. Sealcoating a neglected driveway or parking lot may help it look better in pictures or in passing, but a sharp-eyed property inspector would most likely recommend repaving. Sealcoating will perhaps add a year or two to asphalt that has not been very well maintained.

A few more suggestions about sealcoating:
*The recommended pavement and air temperature for applying sealcoating is a minimum of 55 degrees.
*The two most commonly utilized ways to apply sealcoat are by manual squeegee or automatic spray.
*While Sealcoating St. Charles is certainly a fairly rapid application, vehicle traffic should be prevented from driving on a freshly sealed driveway for at least 24 to 36 hours to permit enough drying time. If this is not doable, DNM’s team can perform sealcoating in sections for maximum convenience.
*It is important to not use lawn sprinklers near a recently sealed driveway for at least 48 hours after application.
