Asphalt Sealcoating

Asphalt pavement can last 20-30 years on average with proper maintenance and care. A crucial part to protecting and maintaining an asphalt surface is through asphalt sealcoating. Sealcoating is a specially-formulated liquid coating to asphalt pavement and protects against costly cracks and potholes. After drying, the sealcoating compound seals the surface, limiting exposure to UV rays and water/ice. Asphalt sealcoating is a proven way to extend the lifespan of your asphalt driveway, roadway, or other surface.

Why Should I Choose Asphalt?

Asphalt is an affordable and attractive-looking material that efficiently does the job needed for driveways, roadways, and surface lots. Asphalt is used commonly in both residential and commercial applications. Asphalt surfaces last around 20-30 years and are relatively easy to maintain and upkeep. It is a popular choice for pavements across the Spokane area, adding value to homes and commercial properties. Asphalt is also an excellent option for cold weather as it absorbs energy from the sun to melt ice and snow, offers more grip, and is resistant to road salt deterioration.

Asphalt Vs Concrete

Both asphalt and concrete are popular options for driveways, roadways and other surfaces. Asphalt is a black, porous, and high viscosity semi-solid. It is a mixture of bitumen with aggregates like sand, gravel, and crushed stone. Concrete, on the other hand, is a mixture of cement, water, and aggregates like sand, gravel, and crushed stone. They have some similarities, but also many differences. We believe there are a few key differences that make asphalt a better choice for residential and commercial uses. We'll also share some drawbacks of asphalt and how you can overcome them easily! 

Biggest Advantages of Asphalt:

Asphalt is more affordable.

Asphalt has an attractive, dark, and sleek finish.

Asphalt is sufficiently durable for most everyday surfaces such as driveways, neighborhood roads, parking lots, and more.

Asphalt performs better in wet, snowy, and icy conditions.

Drawbacks of Asphalt and How To Overcome Them:

Asphalt is less durable than concrete.

Asphalt requires more maintenance and upkeep than concrete.

What Is The Difference Between Asphalt And Blacktop?

When comparing asphalt and blacktop, asphalt is more durable, less porous, and less malleable than blacktop. This is due to its higher bitumen content in the aggregate material that is used. As a result, asphalt is often used for high traffic areas that need more resistance to wear and tear. Asphalt can withstand higher loads for longer time periods. Blacktop on the other hand is a good option for light traffic areas. It is more affordable but will deteriorate faster than Asphalt. While both have a dark appearance, blacktop will have a looser and rougher look due to its low density composition.

There are benefits to both asphalt and blacktop, and they are largely made for different applications. The general rule is to use asphalt for areas with frequent and heavy traffic, and use blacktop for areas where only sporadic light traffic is present. If you are interested in either asphalt or blacktop pavement, call Adair's Asphalt Spokane today for more information!

What Is Your Process For Paving New Asphalt?

1. Demolition and Excavation - We remove the existing surface and prepare the area for asphalt, removing any unwanted roots or structures.
2. Grading - We expertly grade the surface to prevent water build-up. This eliminates standing water issues on your new driveway, the leading cause of potholes and cracks in asphalt. With our skillful grading and sloping, any water that falls onto your new driveway will run off without collecting.
3. Sub Base Layer Installation -We establish the foundation of your driveway through the installation of the sub-base layer, which sits atop the graded soil. This crucial layer not only serves as the underpinning for the asphalt driveway but also functions as a frost barrier in freezing temperatures. Comprising 6-8 inches of crushed aggregate material, such as gravel, the sub-base undergoes a meticulous quality check involving rolling due to its paramount importance. In the event that any flexing or weak spots are identified during the quality check, we take prompt action to reinforce the sub-base area through methods like undercutting or geo-gridding. Rest assured, our commitment ensures the creation of a robust and supportive sub-base, guaranteeing the longevity and stability of your driveway.
4. Binder Course Layer Installation - We install the binder layer on top of the sub base in order to properly hold the surface layer together. The binding material is bitumen, a petroleum-based liquid. This helps create asphalt, along with the aggregate.
5. Surface Layer Installation - We install the aggregate surface layer on top and this is held together by the binder layer. The aggregate used to mix with the bitumen binding agent is made of crushed stone, gravel, or sand. The binder and aggregate surface layers combine to create dark, sleek, and fresh asphalt around 2.5 to 4 inches thick, depending on desired strength.
6. Joints and Transitions - We ensure that all transitions between the asphalt surface and other surfaces or structures are flawless to avoid issues down the road. Transitions exist where the new asphalt connects with old surfaces, such as a walkway or road. These transitions ensures the asphalt can expand and contract freely and have proper water drainage.
7. Smoothing and Compacting - Finally, we smooth and compact the whole driveway with a compactor, ensuring a smoothly finished and flat surface. Typically, the drying time for your new asphalt surface is 2-3 days. After the asphalt is dry, it is ok to start using. Curing can take 3-6 months, and happens naturally while the new surface is used as normal.

How Long Will A New Asphalt Driveway Last?

With proper maintenance and care, a new asphalt driveway can last 20-30 years! The most important part of extending the life of asphalt pavement is maintenance and upkeep. A driveway will need to be resealed every 2-3 years to mitigate crack formation. Proper drainage and grading of the asphalt driveway is also crucial to prevent water build-up that could seep in and weaken the material. At Adair's Asphalt Spokane, we make sure that new asphalt driveways we pave are properly graded and constructed with high quality materials so you can get the most out of your investment.

How Do I Properly Maintain An Asphalt Surface?

Frequent and proper maintenance is needed to ensure the durability and longevity of an asphalt surface. Maintenance and care should be performed every few weeks in order to avoid accelerated deterioration. After installation of the asphalt, it is up to you to manage the upkeep so that it an last its entire 20-30 year lifespan. Here are some steps we recommend you follow to prolong the life of your asphalt pavement:

1. Sealcoating - Asphalt sealcoating applies a layer of special sealant on top of the pavement surface to prevent infiltration of water and oil into its pores, and to protect against damage from UV rays. This is a crucial maintenance item and must be performed every 2-3 years to avoid early crack formation.
2. Repair Cracks Quickly - Cracks may appear over time in pavement, even with regular maintenance. It is important to repair new cracks quickly as neglected cracks can expand and cause more damage over time.
3. Frequent Surface Inspections - Perform frequent surface inspections, particularly after the summer and winter seasons to find and fix any cracks or potholes before they get expand.
4. Routine Pressure Washing - Regular pressure washing of asphalt removes oil and dirt build-up from regular use that can deteriorate asphalt pavement. Pressure washing helps maintain a clean environment that will aid in the lifespan of your asphalt. Washing is best done every 2-3 months.
5. Drain Standing Water - Standing water or water build-up is a big cause of potholes, cracks, and deterioration of asphalt. Because asphalt is very porous, standing water will easily seep into the pavement and may cause it to weaken. After rainstorms, we recommend checking for standing water on your asphalt surface and brushing it away if necessary. When you choose Adair's Asphalt Spokane, we put special attention to properly grade your pavement so standing water should not be a big issue.
6. Clean Oil and Chemical Spills - Oil and chemical spills on asphalt can easily seep into the porous surface and cause damage. We recommend cleaning up any oil or chemical spills immediately before much of it is able to be absorbed.
