New Lenox Sealcoating
Sealcoating in New Lenox
Asphalt, like everything that’s exposed to the elements, is prone to damage over time from sun, water, chemicals, and traffic, which can leave your roadway or driveway looking pretty rough if they’re not maintained. The binder that hold asphalt together can weaken, allowing cracking, holes, weak spots and other problematic areas to form. To avoid this, your best method of defense is sealcoating and other regular maintenance. Sealcoat acts as barrier between the harshness of the elements, keeping water and chemicals from being able to seep in, as well as a filler that gets down into the cracks and small holes in your surface.
Sealcoat is comprised of a mix of particulates and liquids that create a deep black slip-resistant surface after curing, making the pavement not only safer, but makes it look brand new. Because of its ability to protect the asphalt underneath it, as well as its ability to fill in minor blemishes, it’s the best protection for your surface, able to double its useful life. We are pros at sealcoating in New Lenox and we take great pride in the work we do. As such, we always complete a thorough inspection of your surface before starting a project. By doing this, we can identify problem areas such as chemical stains, holes, cracks, drainage issues, the condition of your asphalt, and any previous maintenance that was done. After inspection comes the prep, which involves clearing away debris, removing any chemical spills, filling cracks and priming polished areas so they can bind to the new layer. |

We have perfected our trade and use only the best practices possible, including:
Because of the nature of sealcoat, it dries in layers from top to bottom. Once the top is dry, it may seem safe to walk or drive on, but doing so before 24 hours post-application can tear or otherwise damage the new surface.

- Applying multiple coats of sealer if it hasn’t been done recently. If the surface has been sealcoated regularly, one layer is usually enough. We will decide during inspection which option is best for you.

- Only sealcoating if there’s no rain predicted ruing and at least 24 hours after application. If you have a sprinkler system, we will tell you to turn it off for 24 hours.
- Protecting storm drains by using barriers during your project.
- Completing the job as early in the day as possible to give the layer enough curing time before the cool of the night.
- Advising you to keep foot a vehicle traffic off the new surface for at least 24 hours
- Advising you to keep your driveway, roadway or parking lot cleared of debris for a week after the job.
