BLOG How Sealcoating Protects Your Pavement from Seasonal Damage Oct 13, 2024

As the seasons change, the weather can take a toll on your pavement, causing cracks, potholes, and general wear and tear. This is why sealcoating is such an important part of pavement maintenance. Black Diamond Sealcoating is here to explain how sealcoating can protect your pavement from seasonal damage.

During the winter months, cold temperatures and freezing conditions can cause the asphalt in your pavement to become brittle and prone to cracking. Additionally, snow and ice can seep into any existing cracks, further damaging the pavement. Sealcoating acts as a protective barrier, preventing water and other harmful substances from penetrating the surface of the pavement. By sealing the pavement, you can prevent cracks and potholes from forming, ultimately extending the life of your pavement.

In the spring and summer months, the sun's UV rays can also damage your pavement. Over time, exposure to sunlight can cause the asphalt to fade and become brittle. Sealcoating can help protect your pavement from UV damage by providing a layer of protection between the asphalt and the sun's harmful rays. Additionally, sealcoating can help prevent oxidation, which can make the pavement more susceptible to cracks and deterioration.

Fall is also a critical time to consider sealcoating your pavement. As the temperatures begin to drop, moisture from rain and falling leaves can seep into the pavement, causing it to weaken and crumble. By sealcoating your pavement before the fall season, you can protect it from the effects of moisture and debris, ultimately prolonging its lifespan.

In addition to protecting your pavement from seasonal damage, sealcoating can also enhance the appearance of your pavement. A fresh coat of sealcoat can give your pavement a sleek, well-maintained look, making a positive impression on visitors and customers.
