Highlighting the Importance of Asphalt Crack Sealing

by Writing Team / Monday, 08 July 2024 / Published in Uncategorized
asphalt crack sealing

A freshly laid asphalt driveway can instantly enhance the curb appeal of any home. It can quickly increase your property value and provide a smooth surface to improve safety. However, asphalt does require regular maintenance to ensure it stays in excellent condition. According to LiveAbout, driveways and parking lots should be seal-coated for normal use every two to three years. You’ll also need to make sure you don’t ignore cracks, as that can also lead to issues down the road as well.

Larger Cracks

Cracks usually begin as small hairline cracks. However, as it rains, the cracks fill with water. Water then slowly pushes the crack apart, gradually widening it. This happens even in warm Arizona weather without the freeze-thaw cycle in colder climates. Asphalt crack sealing involves filling cracks with a particular material to ensure they don’t fill up with water.

Water Damage

One of the main concerns with water infiltrating the asphalt is that it will slowly seep into the base layer underneath the driveway. This base layer provides a necessary foundation for the asphalt. As water makes this layer erode, the asphalt will weaken. It can become brittle and start chipping away. As the damage worsens, potholes will form.

Safety Reasons

Potholes create many safety concerns that should not be overlooked. Specifically, they can be challenging for people with mobility issues to navigate and may cause serious injuries. A walker winding up in a large asphalt crack can instantly lead to them falling and getting hurt. So, it’s possible that people can sprain their ankles on a quick walk from their car to the door. As a result, this can lead to a massive injury lawsuit, too.

Aesthetic Appeal

The gleaming appeal of freshly laid asphalt slowly fades away as the surface becomes chipped and damaged. The damaged appearance makes your house look poorly maintained. Homeowners who want to sell their homes will struggle because the driveway gives the impression the entire house isn’t well taken care of.

Cost-Effective Route

Most people avoid asphalt crack sealing for minor cracks because they don’t want to spend money, but this can cost you more in the long run. Inevitably, the cost of repairs will continue to increase as the damage worsens. If you wait too long, you’ll need a brand-new driveway, which will cost significantly more than maintaining it with minor repairs.
