Why is the Enders method of maintaining
your pavement superior?
- Initially, your driveway or parking lot
will receive a thorough cleaning.
- Cracks will be sealed with a quality hot
rubber product to keep out water and prevent further damage. Hot rubber
crack sealer is applied at extremely high temperatures to get deep into the
crack. As the rubber cools, it solidifies, but stays flexible so it can
expand and contract with the thermal movements of the asphalt.
- Next, sealcoating is applied in 2 coats (using a spray
method) over the entire asphalt area with a "rich" flat black
coat. (Sealed pavement should never have a shine or appear to be wet.)
- The sealcoating will seal the porous
surface. Once dried (average of 24 hours), it forms a tough, protective
layer that protects your pavement investment from the elements and keeps the surface looking new.
Sometimes people are misled into believing
seal coating is only for beautification. Professional grade sealcoating
not only extends the life of your asphalt investment, it makes the surface more
resistant to deterioration from gasoline, oil, and chemicals. It also prevents
weather-related erosion from natural elements, such as the sun, rain, frost,
freezing, and thawing.
We apply multiple coats of professional grade
FAA approved sealcoating with a spray system, paying careful attention not to
get any sealer where it should not be.
A favorite analogy is that of
spray painting your vehicle; you wouldn't want someone to brush or roll the
paint onto your vehicle! Some inferior companies actually brush or squeegee the
product onto the asphalt, which in may result in a sub-optimal job in most
cases, leaving broom or squeegee marks on your asphalt.
