Get Your Free EstimateAsphalt Sealcoating includes a thorough surface cleaning, professional-grade crack filling, and the careful application of a protective liquid sealer over your entire paved area. Prairie Line Asphalt of Des Plaines starts by blowing away dirt and debris, scrubbing oil spots, and treating any weeds growing near the edges. Then we fill cracks wider than a quarter-inch with hot-pour rubberized sealant so water cannot sneak underneath. Finally, we spray or squeegee on a commercial-grade asphalt emulsion that locks out moisture, blocks UV rays, and stops the binder from drying out.
Prairie Line Asphalt of Des Plaines approaches every Asphalt Sealcoating job with straightforward prep work because shortcuts lead to peeling sealer. You cannot just spray black liquid over dirty asphalt and expect it to stick. We make sure the pavement is bone dry and clean before laying down any product. We tape off adjoining concrete walks and garage aprons to keep the lines crisp and clean.
Des Plaines weather is tough on pavement. Between freezing winter temperatures, heavy spring rains, and summer sun baking down near O'Hare, asphalt takes a daily beating. Unsealed asphalt oxidizes fast, turning gray and brittle within a few seasons. Once the binder breaks down, water gets into the base, freezes, expands, and turns small cracks into major potholes. Asphalt Sealcoating puts a flexible shield over that surface to absorb the weather instead of your pavement.
Homeowners often ask Prairie Line Asphalt of Des Plaines if Asphalt Sealcoating hides existing damage. It covers up fading and minor surface wear, but it does not fix deep structural cracks or sunken spots. If your driveway has serious base failure, you need patching or paving before we drop sealer on it. We will tell you straight up if your pavement needs repairs first.
We use heavy-duty coal tar and asphalt emulsions designed to withstand vehicle traffic and winter deicing salts. Once we finish spraying or brushing the coat, you need to keep cars off the asphalt for at least 24 to 48 hours so the material cures properly. You will notice a deep black finish that makes your whole property look sharp while buying your pavement several more years of useful life. For homes and businesses in Des Plaines, Prairie Line Asphalt of Des Plaines provides Asphalt Sealcoating services.
Asphalt Sealcoating typically lasts between 2 to 3 years on residential driveways in Des Plaines, depending on traffic levels and sun exposure. Commercial lots with heavy delivery trucks might need a fresh coat every year or two. Prairie Line Asphalt of Des Plaines knows that Cook County winters bring freezing temperatures and chemical deicers that eat away at unprotected asphalt. When snow sits on unsealed pavement, it melts into tiny pores, freezes overnight, and breaks the aggregate apart. Asphalt Sealcoating blocks that moisture entry point entirely. Applying a fresh coat every couple of years costs a fraction of a full asphalt replacement. Maintenance keeps your pavement flexible and prevents small surface cracks from turning into expensive paving projects down the road.
