Keys to Asphalt Maintenance Minneapolis MN
You opted for a new asphalt driveway from experienced asphalt experts, like Seal King—congratulations! Your new residential sealcoating (or commercial sealcoating) requires some maintenance to keep it looking new and smooth. Like any of the improvements made on your property, the better care you give asphalt sealcoating, the longer it will stay intact. Even in Minneapolis, MN where temps can dip below freezing, it is possible to enjoy the improvements to driveways and roadways for years to come. Become familiar with maintenance tips for asphalt sealcoating and protect your investment.
The First 90 Days: This is referred to as the curing period. Since asphalt sealcoating is made with an oil-base it takes longer to cure. It is suggested that you follow these rules during the curing period.
- Don’t park on the asphalt on hot days.
- Keep bike stands and jacks off the asphalt as it may still be soft and pliable.
- If you must place a camper or trailer on the asphalt, place a piece of plywood under the jack to disperse the weight.
- It’s also important to note that if the asphalt curing process is interrupted due to cold weather, the curing needs to continue in spring months.
Also, be proactive when it comes to asphalt care. Remove oil and gasoline stains promptly with absorbent materials and limit asphalt’s exposure to these degrading materials. Prevent grass from growing in the asphalt and fill cracks as they appear. Caring for your new residential sealcoating or commercial sealcoating will help your asphalt retain its beauty and durability.
