Simple Tips To Extend The Life Of Your Asphalt
Your blacktop is likely one of the biggest investments you have in your home or business, so it makes sense that you would want to do whatever you can to take care of it and help it last as long as possible. If you are looking for ways to extend the life of your asphalt, then be sure to stay up on the maintenance.
If you notice that your asphalt has lost some of its color and you are able to start seeing the color of the rocks and material in the pavement, it is time to seal coat. We always say “dry pavement leads to cracked pavement”. Give us a call and we will seal your pavement to help keep water out and prevent damage. If you notice any cracks, holes or damage done to the pavement, you need to give us a call. This can allow water to seep through to the base which will freeze in the winter and worsen the damage.

Preparation Is Vital To Long Lasting Asphalt
The area that is going to be paved over must be prepared for paving. Your contractor needs a solid surface to work on, otherwise they won’t be able to lay down quality asphalt. We will ensure a quality gravel base that ensures a strong foundation for your asphalt. This is one of many reasons why preparation is so important before paving starts. Some issues that may need fixing are bumps or dips in the ground, low areas where it pools water, rocks, culverts clogged with roots etc., and also high spots where water will run off (called run-off).
No matter how thick the asphalt is laid down, it cannot make up for an improper base layer or lack of drainage. One of the biggest issues in New England is the freezing temperatures we get every winter. If your base layer was not properly prepared, the asphalt can fail and water can seep through the asphalt. A consistent base is important as it freezes, you want it to move even and uniform. If the gravel is inconsistently laid down, the driveway will heave up separately and crack.

What Is Armor Coating?
We also offer Armor coating services which will add life to your asphalt investment. The armor coating process involves combining stone with liquid asphalt and adding it to either an existing asphalt or gravel base. This gives the asphalt or gravel base a longer life span and helps it stay protected from weathering and erosion.
If you’ve had your home or business for a number of years, you may notice that your driveway or walkway is looking run down and outdated. Using armor coating on these will easily add 10+ years of life to them while giving them a beautiful, brand-new look.

CT Driveway Drainage Solutions
Drainage
This can be a crucial component of your asphalt and often times it is what causes the asphalt to fail. The key here is not allowing water to pool and accumulate on your blacktop surface. It will seep into the layers and become absorbed by the base. When this happens, the base erodes and loosens up and then you get cracking and heaving in that area.
This is because once again, when the ground freezes and then thaws, that part of the pavement will fall leaving large cracks behind to let even more water seep through causing more damage. You can install drainage yourself or hire a professional to do it for you. It is important to have it done correctly so that the water goes away from your driveway and not towards it.

This coating helps water shed off the driveway which will preserve the lifespan. The coating smooths the surface so the water rolls off whereas the developing rough surface will retain water and allow it to pool and penetrate.

FAQs
How Do You Remove and Discard Asphalt?
We care about our environment and are ready to give a full-service asphalt paving job. We collect, grind, and haul off any old asphalt and leave your area or property clean. All asphalt and materials are recycled and used in other construction projects in the local area.
What Type of Maintenance Does Asphalt Need?
If you’d like to extend the life of your asphalt, you’ll need to have regular maintenance done. This includes both reactive and preventative maintenance — in other words, fixing what’s already there and preventing new problems.
Reactive maintenance is particularly important for cracks and potholes, as even small ones will grow larger over time. Eventually, the cost of maintenance could exceed the cost of replacing the asphalt entirely. Meanwhile, preventative maintenance involves processes such as sealcoating — anything that will extend the life of the asphalt.
How Can I Keep My Asphalt Looking Good for Years To Come?
What Is Asphalt Sealcoating?
Sealcoating is a process designed to prevent further asphalt issues from arising. First, professionals will fill in any cracks and potholes. After that, they will apply a sealer. The sealer prevents water and other liquids from slipping through the cracks.
What Causes Asphalt To Deteriorate Quickly?
There are many issues that can cause rapid deterioration. One of the primary causes is improper prep work. If the asphalt doesn’t have a quality base, it is setting up for failure in the future. It can cause the asphalt to fail and develop cracks. When water or other liquids seep into these cracks, it will wear it down. This is dangerous in winter weather particularly, since water expands when frozen.
In addition, regular wear and tear from vehicles will wear down the asphalt, causing the cracks to expand and make the issue even worse. This is why getting CT paving professionals to create a quality base and regular maintenance and sealcoating is key to keeping your asphalt in pristine condition.
