Asphalt Sealcoating Atlanta & Marietta, GA
Asphalt parking areas play a crucial role in determining a property’s value, making sealcoating an essential part of any pavement maintenance plan. With The Surface Masters offer Asphalt sealcoating service in Atlanta and Marietta, GA, you can prevent minor issues from escalating into major, costly repairs.
Untreated asphalt surfaces deteriorate rapidly; the asphalt binder—which holds the surface together—begins to oxidize and break down due to weather exposure shortly after installation. Consequently, the asphalt becomes weak and brittle, allowing moisture to penetrate and cause further damage. This leads to instability, cracking, and surface discoloration.
Below are some reasons why sealcoating should be a key component of your pavement maintenance strategy.
Sealcoating Protection
A typical sealcoat consists of either coal tar pitch or asphalt emulsion mix that include inert fillers, water, sand, emulsifying agents, and/or latex additives. Using the most modern industry equipment, we apply sealer in a multiple coat fashion which provides superior protection against water, petroleum spills, salt, oxidation from the sun, and other damaging elements. Maintaining your asphalt with a routine sealcoat program can extend the life of your pavement by nearly 300%, according to the Pavement Coatings Technology Center at the University of Nevada at Reno.
Curb Appeal
Often times a commercial parking lot is a customers’ or tenants’ first impression. If the pavement on the property looks weathered and/or deteriorated, that can hinder an outsider’s perspective on the property itself or even the tenants, residents, and/or businesses within the facility. Sealcoating your pavement will project a positive image on the facility and ensure a good first impression.
Sealcoating Saves Money
Unfortunately, asphalt begins to deteriorate relatively quickly. Your pavement requires regular maintenance to ensure it remains functional and visually appealing for years, despite constant, round-the-clock use.
An independent study by the Pavement Coatings Technology Center at the University of Nevada, Reno, provides concrete evidence that sealcoating asphalt every three years results in average savings of $15.25 per square yard—or $152,500 over 15 years for a 10,000-square-yard commercial parking lot. This represents a 48% saving compared to the cost of an unmaintained parking lot.
