Here at Love’s Enterprises LLC we offer a variety of asphalt maintenance services in Denver Colorado and the surrounding areas. In order to get the most out of your asphalt and save yourself thousands of dollars in replacement costs, proper pavement maintenance is essential to extending the life of your driveway or parking lot. Five to ten years of additional life can be added to your asphalt by taking the time to do the following simple maintenance steps.
Asphalt crack sealing is not only one of the best ways to prolong your asphalt, it is also very cost effective. All of the cracks in the pavement, even down to the smallest, can turn into a costly repair project if they are not filled with a quality crack sealing product. Water will seep into the cracks in the asphalt and the freezing and thawing causes expansion and contraction. This will not only continue to widen the cracks but will also allow the water to get underneath the asphalt compromising the base course. This leads to more cracks and sinking/potholes in the pavement around the area where the unfilled crack exists. When this happens, the only way to correct the problem is to remove the asphalt around the areas affected, smooth and compact the base, and patch the area with new asphalt. Removing and replacing asphalt is very costly and can be avoided with a properly designed pavement crack sealing program.
Another extremely vital step to preserving and maintaining your asphalt’s life is asphalt seal coating. It is important to first understand that all asphalt seal coating systems are not created equal. Asphalt seal coating systems are designed to seal off the surface of the pavement, filling in the voids while providing a tuff wearing surface that prevents water from penetrating the asphalt. The problem with most asphalt seal coating products, like coal tar emulsions, is that is has many known carcinogens in it, which can cause cancer, they do not rejuvenate or revitalize your asphalt, and once they begin to wear off the surface of the asphalt they provide no more protection, compromising the life of your asphalt pavement. For this reason we work with rejuvenating seal coat products which penetrate deep into the top layer of your asphalt, replenishing the needed oils and binders that get baked out from the sun and harsh weather here in Denver. These oils and binders are necessary to keep your pavement in good repair by binding the surface of the asphalt together. This keeps the pavement flexible which will prevent the surface from deteriorating, becoming brittle, and cracking. We offer a 2 year warranty on all residential seal coating projects and a 1 year warranty on all commercial Sealcoating projects. Seal coating with a quality rejuvenating sealer as well as crack sealing has been proven to extend the life of parking lots and driveways 5-10 years.
