Asphault seal coat asphault maintenance

ASPHALT SEAL-COAT / GENERAL MAINTENANCE NEEDED: Asphalt concrete, or "blacktop," cracks easily, and in time, if not kept sealed properly, will "dry out" and disintegrate Cracks in asphalt are caused by many things, but primarily, natural ground settling, vehicular use, expansion and contraction during tem perature changes, and water action under the surface causes most cracks. Because of this continual shifting there is no permanent way to repair cracks in asphalt. Although they may recur, repair is still necessary to prevent the more serious damage (disintegration) which may result Blacktop drives, walks or patios which are cracked are relatively easy to repair. Today there are simple, ready to use products available for restoring asphalt surfaces. They enable the do it yourself type person to achieve professional looking results in repairs of asphalt driveways or other asphalt surfaces. With these products you can renew the finish and provide an attractive more durable surface at the same time, making cleaning and maintenance easier also For minor depressions and cracks up to 2" wide, use an asphalt crack filler. Larger cracks, and/or holes, will require some actual asphalt paving material. As a final coating, use a blacktop coating to restore color or to smooth and fill rough texture. This coating will also rid the driveway of the "dried out" look It may be necessary to contact an Asphalt Product Company but the necessary materials are usually available at Home Improvement Stores and Building Supply Centers If you desire to work on the drive yourself, feel free to contact this company for additional information After obtaining the necessary supplies and a stiff broom with a squeegee on one side, scrape off excess grease and oil. Wash with detergent. Remove all weeds from cracks, then sweep away any dust, dirt, or debris. Scrub stains with ammonia then rinse with water. After the surface is completely dry pour a ribbon of material beginning at one end and pour sealer directly from the can across the driveway's width in a small ribbon Push the sealer into tight spots (such as against the garage door) with the brush end of your applicator to help prevent splatter The final spreading of the material is accomplished with the squeegee side of the broom pulling back and forth across the width of your driveway, as far as the ribbon of material will go, for a smooth surface Repeat with another ribbon of material and continue this procedure until the entire driveway or patio is completed.
