What is this?

WELCOME EVERYONE
What is SEALCOATING and why should I do it?
1. Sealcoating protects and prolongs the life expectancy of asphalt pavement by filling surface damage and providing a protective layer to keep out damaging UV rays, vehicle fluids, and water.
2. The low cost of regular sealcoating can save you money in the long run. A properly maintained and sealed asphalt surface has an extended lifetime and reduces long-term repair costs.
3. With exposure to the elements, asphalt pavement over time becomes faded in appearance. A fresh sealcoat application enhances the appearance of asphalt, making it look and wear like new.
4. Sealcoating is typically done using one of two application methods: spray or squeegee/brush.
5. Sealcoating accelerates the melting process of snow and ice on pavement surfaces. This helps to protect against water penetration, rain, frost and snow damage.
6. To correctly complete the sealcoating process, the air and pavement temperature is recommended to be at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit for the duration of the application and for eight hours following the application.
7. Prior to pavement sealing, the asphalt surface should be cleared of all dirt and debris. In addition, minor repairs, like potholes and cracks, should be filled and vehicle fluids, like oil, should be properly removed.

THE PRODUCT WE ARE USING IS CALLED: “ASPHALT EMULSION”
Why use asphalt emulsions?
Asphalt emulsion does not require a petroleum solvent to make it liquid and in most cases asphalt emulsions can be used without additional heat. Both of these factors contribute to energy savings. Additionally, asphalt emulsions offer great flexibility in their application since they offer the end-user a great variety of characteristics not found in other paving and maintenance materials. Asphalt emulsions are environmentally friendly. There are little or no hydrocarbon emissions created with their use.

I used to do this with my uncle, Walt back in the day. Only we had a huge tank on a trailer and he would slowly keep pulling it forward with the truck and I would control the valve to let out just enough to work with as I went. You're right about the dirty driveways not sticking. Often times we would have to do the cleaning ourselves starting with torches to burn off oil and organic matter, then we pressure washed and dried it with the torch before then immediately laying our layers. Spraying it sucks, like you said. We tried that once and never did it like that again. Slow, even spreading is what's best because you have far more control of where it goes. The only drawback to spreading instead of spraying is that if you get too much close to the edge it can flow off and into the grass or a ditch, wasting materials. But if you're good you can mitigate mess ups like that. Thanks for sharing! This brought back lots of great memories. Keep up the great work! It looks great! 🙂

[@ryleeaerison1763]

Reputable company... heh. Story time: My parents rent the house, so therefore we can't control who seals our driveway, that's controlled by our landlord. The most recent time they hired someone, the person came in to seal the driveway, which was uneven, so they came in an earlier time to seal the cracks and put some stuff in to try to get the lowered parts even with the rest, but as a result, the part they "evened" ended up being around an inch above everything else. The sealed cracks weren't eve either. I think you can see the problem there. When they came to seal the entire driveway about a week later, they got stuff on our garage door, and even on the doors of our truck- we couldn't park it anywhere else other than on the road, unfortunately close to the driveway. That's not the point, though. They did a bad job and weren't careful about what they were doing. All they cared about was getting paid in as little time as possible since they're paid per job, not per hour. Yes, it's understandable they'd be in a rush, but if they don't do a good job, they're not likely to be hired again.

I do hope that they were held responsible for the damages, or at least the landlord took care of you and the crappy company took care of the landlord.

[@drewkirste4208]

Note, allow the concrete to completely dry before applying the water-proofing top coat. When you water-blast the surface, say 2,500 psi will inject H20 into the concrete. What will happen the top-coat will cure. The trapped moisture will expand, causing, "bubbeling"

Welp interesting business model

[@methos-ey9nf]

Nobody in the comments gets why you should do this every few years. In cold/snowy regions it helps prolong the life of the driveway by keeping water from getting into cracks, freezing, and breaking up the asphalt. Plus the smooth black surface absorbs heat which helps melt ice and snow making the driveway easier to clear.

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

I always put that in the video description.

[@garyowens1284]

I live in Ireland no one would do this here not only is it a waste by your point its also lazy

[@morganbaldwin4828]

@@garyowens1284 his point literally explains why it isn’t a waste

[@pandalie_]

In some cities they are painting the streets with white color because yes, the black absorbs heat and this is a big problem due to climate change. so i don't think it's a good idea painting it even darker than it already is.

[@maxcondra4991]

@@garyowens1284 how many feet of snow do you get in Ireland every winter? Cuz in Minnesota we get on average about 4 to 10 ft sometimes more also you dont want water to get under to asphalt when it gets -20 degrees Fahrenheit for a month straight thats how you get pot holes. And when the driveway costs around $10,000 to replace you kinda want to protect it.

The former ground coating was probably less satisfying to see but it was clearer. The new one is black. So it will absorb a bigger quatity of Solar heat and restor it during the night aggravating the urban heat island phenomenon. Prioritize clear ground color to participate to cool the street !

[@jfm14]

Good point! I live in the middle of nowhere in a temperate climate, so I didn't even think of that issue.

True asphalt and concrete are really good as a heat trap and combining with air polution, especially in high humidities places, make cities almost a stove. Just look at India, shit is crazy

I stayed at an Airbnb in SD this summer, and the HOA had the entire townhouse complex sealed over the course of a week. Those guys did the nastiest job around the garage doors. Gaps everywhere and painted over the concrete, all over the curbs, like a kindergartener would have been less sloppy. I get it was a big project but I would have been pissed if I was the homeowner.
