Slurry Sealing Treatment Service

01

SURFACE PREPARATION

Cleaning: The first step is to clean the asphalt surface thoroughly. This involves removing dirt, debris, vegetation, and any other materials that may be present on the pavement. Cleaning can be done using sweepers, blowers, or pressure washers.

Repairing Cracks: Prior to seal coating, any existing cracks or potholes in the pavement should be repaired. This may involve filling cracks with a suitable crack filler material and patching any areas of significant damage.

02

PAVEMENT REPAIRS

Crack Sealing: Cracks in the asphalt are typically filled with a hot rubberized sealant to prevent water infiltration and further damage. This step is essential for maintaining the integrity of the pavement.

Pothole Patching: If there are potholes or other surface irregularities, they are patched and leveled to create a smooth and even surface.

03

SLURRY SEAL  APPLICATION

Mixing Sealant: The seal coating material is prepared by mixing it according to manufacturer specifications. Sealants may come in various formulations, including coal tar-based or asphalt-based sealers.

Application: The sealant is applied evenly over the entire surface using a specialized applicator, such as a squeegee or a spray system. Care is taken to ensure uniform coverage.

04

CURING & DRYING

Drying Time: After the seal coat is applied, it needs sufficient time to cure and dry. The drying time can vary depending on the type of sealant used and environmental conditions. It is essential to follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding drying times.

Outside Elements: It's important to note that weather conditions, such as temperature and humidity, can influence the seal coating process. Contractors often schedule seal coating jobs during favorable weather to ensure proper application and curing.
