There are many benefits of crack sealing, but perhaps the two biggest are that it will extend the life of pavement and add value to your property. Think of crack sealing as being an investment in your property, as it significantly lengthens the life of your pavement and covers any unsightly damaged surfaces on your parking lot.
Asphalt crack sealing will greatly slow down deterioration; even the best pavement will start to come apart over time as it is exposed to sun radiation and light. Crack sealing will also protect against the elements, which can lead to surface cracking and ravelling. And even if the asphalt pavement on your property was done properly, crack sealing will still greatly extend the life of the pavement by protecting the asphalt pavement.
As noted, crack sealing greatly slows the aging process; if it’s caught early enough, you can stop the deterioration before it goes too far, making it years before you need to have pavement crack sealing again. And not only will the oxidation process be slowed, but it will also prevent cracks that water can seep into and cause further damage.
