Increase the longevity of your commercial asphalt parking lot.
What is sealcoating?
Sealcoat material consists of either asphalt cement mixed with fillers, water, emulsifying agents, and/or additives, or coal tar. Applied in two thin coats by either squeegee and/or spray, sealcoating helps prevent surface agents such as salt, oil, water, and UV rays from entering the sub-base of your asphalt. This helps to extend the longevity of your parking lot, which will keep your maintenance costs to a minimum.
Sealcoating must be applied when surface and air temperatures are above 50 degrees. It is best to apply during the spring, summer, and fall months, although it is possible to sealcoat year-round in states like Florida, Texas, and California.
SEALCOATING – DOES YOUR PARKING LOT REALLY NEED IT?
In general, you will want to sealcoat your parking lot every three years. However, this is just a baseline figure for the average property. The traffic you receive, weather, and drainage can all impact how often you need repaving.
To determine whether or not you need to contact an asphalt company about sealcoating, ask yourself the following questions:
HOW OLD IS THE PARKING LOT?
If your parking lot is brand new, chances are you won’t need sealcoating for a few years. But you should still keep an eye on your parking lot. Water runoff, traffic, and exposure to sunlight can result in cracks and potholes. If you spot any damage, then contact Mad Jack’s for sealcoating services in Franklin, TN.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD SEALCOATING?
If 3-5 years have passed since your last sealcoat, then it’s probably time to apply sealant as soon as possible. Sealcoating is more than just an aesthetic fix; it strengthens the performance of your parking lot by improving durability.
CAN YOU SEE DAMAGE ON YOUR PARKING LOT?
Don’t blame yourself if you see damage to your pavement. Cracks, fissures, and potholes are all natural effects of traffic, age, and harsh weather. However, if you can visibly see damaged surfaces, then it’s time to contact Mad Jacks.
