When your business or house must maintain a parking lot or driveway, you can greatly reduce future costs by using a protective layer. Investing in a local sealcoating company's expertise can reduce repairs and additional money spent later. After all, your asphalt pavement has constant exposure to the elements, but coating it provides the protection needed. Here is some insight into how a sealcoating company can reduce maintenance costs.

Prevent Cracks and Potholes

One of the biggest concerns with pavement is cracks and potholes. Cracks and potholes may create liabilities by causing trips and falls. They can also damage tires. Luckily, according to our team, regular sealcoating about every three years can maintain the integrity of your pavement in our experience, so you can avoid damage to the area. You save money by preventing liability issues you would have to pay for.

Block UV Rays

UV rays can do a lot of damage to your new asphalt pavement. UV ray exposure can cause your once beautiful asphalt to quickly fade. Faded pavement won't look good in your curb appeal and can also lead to cracks. Anything that takes away from curb appeal can reduce property value.

Prevent Water Penetration

Unmanaged water drainage on any property can be destructive, even on your pavement. Too much water infiltration can damage the pavement, and when there are cracks, water can seep under the pavement and cause even more havoc. Therefore, you would eventually have to dig the pavement up to repave it and handle foundation issues. Your sealcoating company prevents water from infiltrating the pavement and causing expensive structural damage.

Double Lifespan

Imagine having a feature on your commercial property you won't have to fix again for twice its expected life span because of an update such as a protective layer. Well, this can happen when you call your local sealcoating company to protect your pavement. According to Seal Coat Supply, a 10,000-square-yard lot that has been sealed can save $150,000 and have twice the lifespan of an uncoated one.

As you can see, sealcoating your payment is a worthy investment for any business or homeowner. You can effectively reduce maintenance costs by preventing cracks, holes, and stains, and increasing the lifespan of your paved area.
