The Importance of Repair and Replacement

It’s fair to say that when your garage apron starts to sink, no one is happy about it. Unfortunately, this problem can be caused by one or two different reasons. Sometimes, the gravel underneath the surface of your driveway that was placed during initial construction can begin to settle and cause the driveway to lower and separate from the garage. This leaves an awkward space between your garage and driveway and can cause major damage to your vehicle depending on the severity. Another reason would be that water has been able to penetrate into the seam and erode the area. This is typically due to improper sealing and will create a nice crater between the garage and asphalt. So where do we go

Seal King Garage Apron Process

No matter the cause of your failing garage apron, Seal King Professional Sealcoating is here to create a solution. We provide a step by step process in which we repair or replace the damaged area and leave you happy with a smooth and leveled garage apron. Our process is as follows:

● Measure – We carefully measure two to three feet from the garage and mark our measurements with a chalk line.
● Cut – We then precisely cut the chalk line with a diamond blade asphalt saw.
● Clean Process – As we remove the damaged areas that are sunken next to the garage, we keep our area neat and clean.
● New Gravel – Next, we fill the affected area and compact it with new gravel that is much less likely to settle like it may have before.
● Extra Tight – We ensure this by applying another new base gravel to the remaining section and compacting everything tightly.
● Application – Then our high quality, hot asphalt mix is applied to the area and leveled out to match both the driveway and garage.
● Professional Look – We use plate compactors and asphalt rollers to give it a clean and professional look and make sure everything stays compact.
● Final Clean Up – Lastly, the entire area is cleaned off, including the debris.
● Banner – We then banner off the area to keep everyone off for 24-36 hours.
