TIPS TO PREPARE YOUR DRIVEWAY FOR SAILCOATING

Sealcoating makes asphalt driveways more resilient to extreme weather and car pollutants like dripping oil. Sealcoating reduces driveway deterioration, such as cracks, brittleness, and potholes. It also increases the driveway's life expectancy. Sealcoating protects your driveway against the elements and saves you money on costly repairs. These tips will help you prepare your driveway for sealing. Your driveway will look clean and sleek and free of any damage.

EVALUATE YOUR DRIVEWAY

Initial inspections will identify signs of damage such as cracks and potholes. It is important to properly identify and mark any damage to your driveway so you don't forget it during sealcoating.

Sealcoating is not required if your driveway was built within the last two years.

SEE THE FORECAST

You will need to cancel your sealcoating appointment if the weather forecast is for rain, snow, or other inclement conditions. Also, consider the temperature. Asphalt temperatures over 50 degrees Fahrenheit are not suitable for sealcoat application. These guidelines are important to follow in order not to have a badly or improperly sealed driveway.

CLEAR AND PREPARE THE AREA

Preparing your driveway for sealcoating is an important first step. Clear away all debris, including leaves and loose pebbles, from the asphalt surface. Clean the asphalt of any chalk or fertilizers. A dirty driveway won't allow sealer to stick, so it is important to do this. Sprinklers should be turned off at least one day prior to sealcoating.

You should not have any scheduled deliveries. If your front door touches the driveway during sealcoating, it will be impossible to access. Rearrange your deliveries or find a new drop-off location.

Keep pets and children out of the area during the drying and application process. You can let your dog run free in the backyard, or find another exit from the house.

PRIME THE ASPHALT

Prime your driveway before sealing it. Your sealcoat application will be more effective if you prime your driveway to remove oil stains. Use a soap nozzle to wash the driveway using either a power washer or a garden hose. Then scrub the driveway with a stiff-bristled push-broom. After removing the soap residue, spray the driveway with clean water and allow it to dry completely before applying the primer.
