Winter is at a close, thank goodness for that…finally! With all the snow melting, you might see ground you haven’t been able to in quite some time. Unfortunately, Minnesota’s violent winter weather can do some unsightly damage to your asphalt driveway. If the winter left your driveway looking seasoned, let the experienced professionals at Seal King repair it! Whether you need a crack fixed or any other type of asphalt patch repair, we are here.

Reasons for Asphalt Damage:

Temperatures in winter are one of the leading causes of asphalt damages, as well as water. These two working together can put years on your driveway in a matter of months. As the temperature melts, the snow turns to liquid water, the water makes its way to the driveway. Once there, the water seeps into any tiny cracks and takes a rest. Then when the temperature freezes the next day or night, which it will because we are in Minnesota, the water will expand, making that tiny crack just a little bigger. As the days go on and this continues, the tiny little crack you saw in fall could possibly be stretching over half your driveway.

There are also other factors that can damage asphalt, such as: tree roots growing under your drive, hail, unsightly oil spills and other chemical spills.

There are products available in hardware stores that will allow you to do a ‘DIY’ asphalt repair but the project will be messy, take some of your own time to complete and usually end up uneven and unappealing.

Seal King’s Repair Process Steps

Seal King’s procedures for asphalt repair are extremely thorough. Every small crack will be sealed. For areas with greater damage, the old asphalt will be completely cut out and removed, the foundation will be verified, new gravel will be packed down, the area will be cleaned, asphalt will be poured and compaction is the final step. No DIY job can compare to this process and its longstanding quality.
