Why Sealcoating?
Prior to sealcoating, larger isolated cracks will be treated with a pourable liquid crack sealer. This pre-sealing treatment helps in preventing water from seeping through the cracks. The crack sealer will not make the cracks disappear, nor will deep cracks be flush with surrounding asphalt. As the crack sealer starts to dry or cool, the material constricts forming a water-tight barrier in the cracks. Pro Driveway Sealers does its best to fill and sealcoat cracks or “spider web” cracks. We can not make them disappear, but we can make them so they won't continue to harm your asphalt surface.
When the asphalt is properly prepared, Pro Driveway Sealers will then apply an asphalt-based emulsion sealer.
A yellow barricade tape will be put across the entrance to your driveway when the project is complete.
There are several different reasons that cracks in the asphalt may occur. Some are the following: tree roots, poor drainage, freeze-thaw cycles, oxidation from the sun or excessive weight. Asphalt cracks allow moisture to penetrate the pavement. In the winter, this moisture can freeze, causing a multitude of more serious problems. In the warmer months weeds or grass can take root in the cracks causing extensive damage.
Your best defense again pavement deterioration is crack sealing. By sealing cracks, you can extend the life of your pavement considerably and prevent more costly repairs.
All dirt and debris will be removed from the asphalt by Pro Driveway Sealers using power blowers, scrapers, and wire brush brooms.
All fresh oil will be treated with petro-seal primer. The primer helps prevent oil from bleeding up through the freshly applied asphalt sealer. Primed areas may dry darker.

Properly designed and constructed asphalt pavements rarely deteriorate from traffic. Weathering, oxidation and the destructive softening effects of gasoline, oils and de-icers primarily cause surface wear. Our sealing application is specifically formulated to shield against the harmful elements that lead to surface deterioration.
Extend the life of your asphalt pavement and restore like-new appearance at a minimal cost. Regular sealing applications shield against the drying action of the sun,cracking and deterioration. The accumulation of moisture in pavement structures is one of the greatest causes of pavement damage. Sealing application prevents water seepage into the porous asphalt structure, stopping weather damage. Asphalt a petroleum product has tripled in cost.
