Background:
Surface Sealing is a surface treatment designed to extend the life of existing pavements at about one-third to one-fourth the cost of milling and overlaying a pavement with new asphalt. Timely application is necessary to extend the life of existing pavements. This process is similar to painting a house instead of waiting to replace the siding.
Surface Sealing uses a pre-mixed slurry of rock, polymer asphalt binders, cement, and filler materials to seal the entire roadway at a depth of approximately 1/4 inch. The first step in the sealing process is filling surface cracks and voids to make them weather tight, similar to caulking seams on a house to prevent water infiltration. The surface seal mixture is then placed over the entire street to provide a water resistant surface and mitigate aging of the pavement cause by UV rays from the sun.
