Frequently Asked Questions About Asphalt Repair and Maintenance
Left unfilled, cracks will allow rain and moisture to flow through the pavement and erode base materials, ultimately resulting in potholes and pavement failure. Filling cracks with crack filler helps prevent rain and moisture from flowing through the pavement and causing erosion or failure. Superior Seal Coating uses acrylic and/or hot asphalt crack filling to fix cracks in your driveway or parking lot. Once we have the cracks free of debris, they are backfilled with sand, and the material is applied with a squeegee to be flush with the blacktop surface. If you have cracks and need asphalt repair, Superior Seal Coating can help.
The average lifetime of an unmaintained asphalt driveway is about 20 years. However, with a proper asphalt maintenance program, you could double the lifetime of your driveway. Seal coating and crack repair cost pennies on the dollar compared to paving. A small investment now can add years to the lifetime of your driveway.
Yes, regular maintenance and seal coating will significantly extend the lifetime of your driveway. Seal coating protects the asphalt binder by protecting against elements that could harm the surface, such as moisture, UV rays, and chemicals. Seal coating will protect and beautify your asphalt at the same time.
Not all types of damage to asphalt surfaces can be repaired. Small, linear cracks can be sealed to prevent water penetration, but potholes or large patches of “alligator cracks” should be removed and new asphalt installed. This is called asphalt patching. There are lots of options when it comes to asphalt repairs, be sure to rely on experienced personnel like the Superior Seal Coating team. Inexperienced repair teams or low-quality work will not last. Fix it right the first time with Superior Seal Coating.
The cost of asphalt repairs can vary depending on the extent of the damage and the necessary repairs. Larger surface areas and cracks demand more time, tools, and material, so you should expect to pay more. But remember, It is always best to consult with a professional for a more accurate estimate. Contact us today, and we'll break down the cost of repairs for your residential driveway or commercial parking lots.
In general, repairing asphalt surfaces is a more cost-effective solution than replacing them. However, it ultimately depends on the extent of the damage and the needs of the client. Remember, the goal should be to get the best value for your money. Trust our team to evaluate the condition of your asphalt and provide an effective solution.
The liquid asphalt in blacktop needs time to fully harden and cure, which can take 6-12 months on average. During that time, repairs can remain soft and malleable. While you may walk on your new repairs right away, we recommend holding off on driving over them for at least 2 days. In addition, refrain from parking on the new asphalt for 5 days, and possibly even longer in hotter temperatures. Do not turn your wheel/tires while your vehicle is not moving. It will cause power steering tire marks (especially in confined back-up areas) that can “tear” the surface of the blacktop.
At Superior Seal Coating, we recommend having your asphalt surface inspected for maintenance and repair needs every 2-3 years. However, the frequency of inspections may vary depending on the level of usage and environmental factors. For example, if your asphalt surface experiences heavy traffic or is exposed to extreme weather conditions, annual inspections may be necessary.
Want to protect your surface from damage? Pavement maintenance is key, but so is preventing problems BEFORE they occur. This means avoiding some critical issues that we see most companies and homeowners in the industry fail to adhere to.
Things like standing water can erode the asphalt surface, weaken it, and lead to significant damage. Make sure to prevent standing water by checking drainage regularly, and removing debris from the gutters. Regular cleaning of asphalt surfaces is important, as debris, leaves, and other materials can accumulate and hold moisture on the surface. This moisture — similar to standing water — can weaken the surface and cause cracks and potholes. A power washer is an excellent tool to blast away dirt and debris, so consider renting one for a deep cleaning periodically.
Additionally, you want to avoid heavy machinery that can cause damage to asphalt surfaces. We know this may be difficult for some of our clients. So, if you must use heavy machinery, be sure to place plywood or rubber mats on the surface to protect it from damage. Sealcoating is extremely important to protect asphalt surfaces from damage caused by UV rays and water. Sealers help to keep water from seeping through the surface and weakening it.
Our Repair Services:
- Asphalt Patching: Severely damaged asphalt can be unsightly and dangerous. Potholes pose tripping hazards and can damage vehicles. Superior Seal Coating’s asphalt driveway patching services can remove and replace bad asphalt and keep your visitors safe and happy. The perimeter of the old asphalt will be cut, and the bad asphalt will be completely removed. After we make sure the base is solid and add stone if needed, we will pave the area with new asphalt to be flush with the existing asphalt surrounding it.
- Asphalt Paving: Sometimes, you just need to start over. When asphalt has deteriorated beyond the point of the driveway or parking lot repairs, the only recourse is a replacement. Every project is different, and our asphalt repair and maintenance company offers the expertise to make sure yours is done in the most effective, efficient manner possible. Since asphalt paving involves larger, heavier equipment, we offer a smaller service area. Please inquire to see if we service your area.
- Traffic Sign Installation: Traffic signs are a vital part of any traffic control program. Whether you need to be ADA compliant or you want to make sure cars are parked where they should be, Superior Seal Coating can provide and install any sign that you need.
- Asphalt Crack Repair: Asphalt crack repair on driveways and parking lots minimizes water penetration and is an important part of protecting and preserving your asphalt driveway or parking lot. Cracks larger than ¼” should be treated with commercial-grade asphalt crack repair whether you plan on sealcoating or not. Our asphalt repair and maintenance company can help you identify and fix the cracks in your driveway or parking lot with asphalt driveway patching and parking lot repairs.
- Driveway Expansion: Life changes, and sometimes we need a bigger driveway. Superior Seal Coating can increase the size of your driveway to add parking, eliminate that patch of grass that keeps getting run over or just provide more space to play.
- Drain Repair: If your drain is not functioning correctly, it can undermine and damage your asphalt. Superior Seal Coating can evaluate and repair your drainage system. Whether it’s regarding proper drainage or replacing your drain itself, we are the right contractor for the job.
- Parking Lot Line Painting: Superior Seal Coating is the leading line painting and striping contractor in the Philadelphia area. Clear traffic markings provide safe traffic flow and maximize parking.
