Your business will benefit from sealing your parking area from Sid Vanauker's blog

Sealcoating your asphalt commercial parking lot can extend the life of your investment by YEARS, which in turn will save you money in the long run to the tune of $1000's for even a small parking lot. This is more expensive than sealing a driveway. A typical property manager or business owner will already have a long list. The parking lot is where customers first see you. So why let it become damaged? Short of just looking much better, we know sealcoating services done professionally can extend the life of your lot.

We all know how the New England winters are a severe threat to pavement. Periodic pavement maintenance can double the life of your pavement and reduce the likelihood of larger repair issues, while providing a smooth, clean jet-black finish for your parking lot that will beautify your business.....IF it is done correctly. By sealcoating now, you can avoid costly types of asphalt repair services like potholes & overlays. go to this website

Parking lots are often open to the sun throughout the day. When done properly, sealcoating protects from oxidation as well as the UV rays. The asphalt binder (tar), hardens over time. This hardening leads to a brittle and eventually cracking surface. A crack in the pavement can allow water to penetrate it, often into its sub base, weakening them. Cracks will grow exponentially if the temperature drops below freezing, which is what it does in New England. A plow can be used to quickly fill in the cracks. Sealcoating covers the asphalt surface and fills any voids. It reduces pavement's permeability to water and oxygen. It also prolongs pavement life.

Believe it or not, oil & gas that leaks from vehicles can wreak havoc on pavement. This is prevented by a layer of sealcoating, which blocks the oil from getting into the pavement. JDK uses a professional-grade, coal tar sealer. This sealer has additives that can resist leakage. The sealcoat is a dark color which also hides the stains of leaked oil & gas. go to this website
