What is Sealcoat?

Sealcoat is a thin layer of liquid asphalt

Covered by a thin layer of aggregate

That is rolled and pressed in place

With loose surface aggregate swept up after 24 - 48 hours

and cures into a tight, dark surface

Why Seal Coat ?

All Asphalt Oxidizes and Deteriorates

With time, weather and changes in temperature

Asphalt dries and cracks

Pavement rapidly degrades after cracking starts, and then water

infiltrates

If left untreated, all asphalt streets eventually pothole

Early treatment is cost effective

$1 for preventative treatment here

Prevents spending $10 - $15 to fix this
