Should I seal fresh asphalt?

• <div><p>We don’t recommend sealing brand-new asphalt; instead, wait for at least three months so that the asphalt has some time to cure. If it’s applied too soon, the seal coat can trap oils and chemicals in the asphalt, preventing it from fully curing and leading to a weaker surface that’s susceptible to damage. </p></div>

Q: What signs indicate it's time for asphalt sealing?

• <div><p>Fading color, visible cracks, or water pooling signal the need for sealing to prevent further damage.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if your driveway needs to be sealed?

• <div><p>A good rule for all homeowners is to seal every driveway to protect it. Wait at least three months to seal an asphalt driveway and one month to seal a concrete driveway. You know it&rsquo;s time to reseal your driveway when it shows obvious signs of wear and tear. It may appear as fading or discolored asphalt, small cracks, and oil stains. If you notice that one area of your driveway seems to dry slower than others, it&rsquo;s time to reseal.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of chip sealing?

• <div><p>Chip seal lasts only 5 to 8 years on average. This lifespan is significantly shorter than asphalt. It is also less durable. Therefore, chip seal driveway only works if the traffic volume is extremely low. Chip seal is also less resistant to storms and hails. As impact builds up, the chips may become misplaced, creating an uneven driving surface that sometimes becomes hazardous and may damage your tires or cause your vehicle to lose balance.</p></div>

Q: Can I use the same sealant on asphalt and concrete driveways?

• <div><p>No. You cannot use asphalt products on concrete driveways. To <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-products-should-i-use-seal-my-concrete-driveway.htm">seal a concrete driveway</a>, use acrylic, epoxy, polyurethane, silane, siloxane, and silicate sealers or deep penetration sealers made specifically for concrete. Meanwhile, asphalt sealers contain refined coal tar (asphalt emulsion), water, sand, clay, polymers, and additives and are incompatible with concrete&rsquo;s surface texture and higher density. </p></div>
