Many business owners do not see the value in routinely sealing their parking lot. Failing to schedule an asphalt sealcoat can result in premature failure. This would require the company or property owner to replace the entire parking lot sooner than anticipated.
If you are on the fence about sealcoating your parking lot, keep reading! We are reviewing our top three reasons to call your local asphalt company today to schedule a routine sealcoat. While there are way more than three reasons, these are our top ones.
Top Three Reasons To Sealcoat Your Parking Lot
1. Protection
Quite possibly the number one reason to seal your parking lot sooner than later is to protect it from damage. Over time, asphalt will lose some of its binder through weathering and age. By applying a sealer, a barrier is in place to keep moisture out as well as protect the pavement from UV rays, chemicals, and salt.
When water finds its way below the surface, it can result in cracking and pothole formation. Cracking and potholes can lead to extensive repair needs and end up costing a bit more than the cost of a sealcoating job. If you want to protect your asphalt from significant damage, schedule a sealant application today.
2. Appearance
Your parking lot is the welcome mat for your business. It is the first impression customers receive when they visit your location. Making sure your parking lot is in excellent condition and looks great is essential.
By regularly applying a sealant, you are also beautifying the pavement and enhancing the curb appeal. Sealcoat gives the asphalt a rich and black look that makes the pavement look like new.
Additionally, consumers may get the wrong impression of your business if the parking lot is not cared for. If left untouched with several cracks and potholes, customers might expect the same treatment from your business.
Regular parking lot maintenance is essential to give your parking lot a beautiful finish. Call your local asphalt company to schedule your sealcoating today!
3. Lifespan
An asphalt parking lot is affected by the heavy traffic patterns it sees along with the weather patterns of its climate. These items can also shorten the lifespan of the pavement. Sticking to a regular maintenance plan, you can help prevent the damage caused by traffic, water, and chemicals.
Adding a layer of sealant can help replenish the binder that is often damaged and lost over time. Heavy traffic will cause the pavement to break down and the sealcoat can help build it back. The sealant also helps prevent water intrusion because it offers waterproofing agents. Water can be detrimental to asphalt and wreak havoc on a parking lot. Moisture can easily find its way below the surface, cause pothole formation, and further wear away the pavement.
If you are looking to extend the life of your parking lot and offer maximum protection from the elements, call your local asphalt contractor to schedule your parking lot sealcoating today.
