Since asphalt is totally recyclable, you can tear up the old asphalt on your driveway, heat it up to melt it down and repave the driveway. However, over time asphalt will begin to show its age. A typical driveway will last about 25 years, but you do need to reseal it on a regular basis. This helps to keep the pavement from cracking because of water seeping into the tiny cracks and creating potholes.
if you believe you may need a new driveway, here are some issues to look at:
-
Crackling or buckling of the asphalt
-
Low spots, causing puddles
-
Pot Holes
-
Major cracks in the existing driveway
If you are experiencing any of the problems listed above there is a good chance you will need to have your driveway replaced by a professional
asphalt paving company.
Benefits of Sealcoating
Asphalt pavements are a simple combination of rock, sand, and a glue which is the liquid asphalt that binds everything together. The UV
radiation breaks down the asphalt glue and weakens so that it can no longer hold the rocks and sand, thus gradually loosing the top surface. The first and most
obvious sign of this degradation is the gradual change in the color of the
asphalt from black, to brown, and finally to gray. Next your parking lot begins to look rough and piles of sand seem to appear in the low areas of the parking
lot. This is not from your neighbors yard but from the deterioration of your parking lot. In the later stages of degradation the bigger rocks fall out,
raveling takes place, and the parking lot is rough, extremely dirty because now dirt and grass fill the spaces where rocks were.
Also because the asphalt is oxidizing under the UV radiation, it looses its flexibility. This flexibility is extremely important because asphalt can take
great loads and bounce back to its original condition. When asphalt looses its flexibility it becomes brittle begins to crack and break.
