Reasons to Crackseal in Alaska

Cracks in your driveway allow water through to your foundation causing damage.  Due to Alaska’s climate, every winter your driveway’s cracks fill with freezing water that expands and widens the cracks.  When not repaired annually, more water is let in during each year.  The leakage through your driveway’s cracks will erode away your asphalt’s foundation.  All year water seeps in through cracks causing erosion underneath your driveway or parking lot’s asphalt.  This will lead to your asphalt breaking up causing alligatored areas (multiple cracks converging into one spot), potholes, sinkholes, and numerous other unwanted costly problems that can be prevented by cracksealing.

Alaska’s unique environment produces permafrost that causes heaves and sink-holes, creating more cracks for water to seep through and damage the foundation.  Having unsightly cracks that decrease the appearance of your home need to be repaired and maintained.  The longer your driveway or parking lot’s cracks are not sealed, the costlier your repairs will be.  Cracksealing is the most cost efficient and effective way to stop this expensive year round erosion.

Reasons to Sealcoat in Alaska

Sealcoating is similar to painting your driveway jet-black and increases your home’s beautification factor and makes it look like new.  Sealcoating very much adds to the appearance of your home and property.

Sealcoating prevents oil that has dripped from vehicles from softening the asphalt it adheres to.  Oil is damaging to unsealed asphalt driveways and parking lots and is difficult to remove.  Destructive oil can be sealed out along with gasoline or diesel fuel spills that can eat holes into your asphalt within minutes.

Sealcoating prevents the sunlight from breaking down your asphalt overtime.  A driveway that is not sealcoated and left exposed to elements is a sure way of promoting cracks to form.  Due to our harsh Alaskan environment, preventative maintenance by sealcoating is the answer to keeping your driveway or parking lot beautiful and intact (potentially indefinitely).  Alaskan asphalt needs “security.”
