Driveway Sealing Columbus Ohio
What is Asphalt Sealcoating
Asphalt sealcoating is a process that provides the asphalt surface with a protective coating. Asphalt pavement is the material that is laid down to create the driveway, but the sealcoating is an added layer meant to coat and protect the pavement. Like all pavement types, asphalt is susceptible to general wear and tear including damage from sun exposure, fluids from vehicles, and the elements of nature. To protect the asphalt a sealer is added on top of driveways in order to greatly increase the lifespan. Ultraviolet rays from the sun can cause binding materials in the asphalt to shrink and loosen, which can lead to the driveway degrading, cracks, and let water seep into the asphalt layers. A driveway sealer can reduce the impact that the weather can have on asphalt which will reduce the amount of maintenance necessary. Overall anytime a residential property uses asphalt for a driveway it would be wise to consider sealcoating. Sealcoating is the best way to protect your investment and lengthen the time between having to pay for a driveway replacement.
Benefits of Asphalt Driveway Sealing
The most straightforward benefit to sealing any asphalt pavement is the protection it provides. The seal offers protection from many conditions that have the greatest impact on the stability and lifespan of asphalt. Protecting your asphalt driveway from crack formations, freezing water, water erosion, U.V. rays from the sun, and oils all ensures the pavement will last longer and remain intact.
A sealcoating not only protects the driveway and increases the lifespan, but it also can make the pavement look more appealing. After applying the asphalt sealcoating a driveway will appear darker and richer in color. Adding an asphalt driveway sealing will make the pavement seem brand new, and it will continue to look new for a long time.
Sealing your asphalt pavement will also increase your investment long-term as the driveway will last longer and require less maintenance. To learn more about our Columbus Ohio residential asphalt services call our office or request an estimate today.
Reducing Asphalt Driveway Maintenance
Any pavement should receive regular maintenance in order to protect it from excess long-term erosion. A typical asphalt driveway that has not been seal coated will experience drying, cracking, and other forms of erosion. In order to reduce the effects that the elements can have on your pavement it’s important to have any visible damage repaired quickly, so it doesn’t continue to spread. A small crack in an asphalt driveway can quickly grow into a much larger problem. In Ohio, we experience freezing temperatures, which can lead to water freezing inside cracks and breaking down the structural integrity of the pavement. All of the maintenance that goes into keeping an asphalt driveway in good condition adds up over several years. With a proper sealing, an asphalt driveway is much more likely to withstand the elements and require significantly less maintenance. While it will cost money to sealcoat your driveway every couple of years the savings from reduced maintenance and a longer lifespan for the driveway are well worth it. By having a professional seal your asphalt driveway you are extending the life of the pavement, which will save you money on having to repave the driveway earlier than expected.

Asphalt Sealcoating: Cost vs. Investment
There are some house maintenance projects that may not seem cost-effective to a homeowner, however sealcoating an asphalt driveway is a great investment. Sealcoating doesn’t last forever, but by having the seal reapplied every few years a homeowner will not spend as much money on maintenance, or ultimately having the entire driveway repaved. As an added bonus the curb appeal of a sealcoating will make your home look more valuable and visually appealing. An asphalt sealcoating is an investment that is well worth the upfront costs and will quickly pay for itself. We highly recommend to any customer having us pave asphalt on their residential property to include our sealcoating service. We will return after the asphalt pavement has fully set and dried and install the sealing to provide a layer of protection.
Reapplying Asphalt Pavement Coating
Sealcoating applied a temporary coating to the asphalt surface that protects it for several years. Protective coatings take the brunt of potential wear and tear and reduce the damage that can be accrued over time. Asphalt sealing is designed to protect the pavement as long as possible and therefore isn't permanent. In order to provide the best form of protection for your drive it is recommended to have the pavement resealed every 2-3 years. This will ensure that the coating doesn’t fully break down leaving the pavement exposed.
