How does sealcoating work? Once water enters pavement, it slowly destroys it by expanding and contracting during freeze/thaw cycles. Small defects open up, admitting more water, causing damage, and join together to create larger defects (cracks). Cracks join up to create a pothole. Sealcoating seals the small defects and helps stop the cycle. Larger cracks are filled with SealMaster CrackMaster Supreme, a rubberized hot seal, which also helps arrest the cycle.

Weather, wear and tear eventually loosen the top layer of asphalt, leading to erosion and exposing more fresh asphalt.  The sealcoating process helps arrest the erosion and helps replenish the binders that are lost over time.  Sealcoating also helps make your driveway more efficient, by making it easier to remove leaves and snow. The deep rich slate black color actually helps absorb the suns rays, better helping to melt and dry the last bit of snow.
