Sealcoating Myths
Here is a list of the 5 most common myths about sealcoating explained
1. Myth: Sealcoating is Only for Aesthetic Purposes Reality: While sealcoating does enhance the appearance of asphalt by giving it a fresh, dark finish, its primary purpose is protection. Sealcoating acts as a barrier against UV rays, water, oil spills, and other damaging elements, preventing cracks, potholes, and deterioration.
2. Myth: Sealcoating is a One-Time Job Reality: Sealcoating is not a permanent solution. Over time, the protective layer wears down due to traffic, weather, and exposure. For optimal results, it’s recommended to reseal your asphalt every 2-3 years, depending on usage and environmental conditions
3. Myth: DIY Sealcoating is Just as Good as Professional Services Reality: While DIY sealcoating kits are available, they often lack the quality of materials and equipment used by professionals. Improper application can lead to uneven coverage, premature wear, and even damage to your asphalt. Professionals ensure a durable, long-lasting finish.
4. Myth: Sealcoating Can Fix Large Cracks and Potholes Reality: Sealcoating is a preventive measure, not a repair solution. While it can fill small cracks, larger cracks and potholes require proper repair before sealcoating. Ignoring these issues can lead to further damage, even after sealcoating.
5. Myth: Sealcoating is Too Expensive Reality: Sealcoating is a cost-effective maintenance practice. By protecting your asphalt from damage, it reduces the need for costly repairs or replacements in the future. Think of it as an investment that saves you money in the long run.
