There are certain dos and don’ts when it comes to sealing your driveway that you should know as a homeowner to protect your driveway. Here are some dos and don’ts to consider:
- DO Regularly Clean: Keeping your driveway clean helps to keep it free of dirt and debris. Cleaning your driveway regularly helps to increase the lifetime of your driveway.
- DON’T Avoid Overapplication: Don’t apply a thick layer of seal-coat over asphalt. You only need a little bit for the job to be done effectively. Putting too much on can cause damage to the driveway.
- DO Prepare: Before you sealcoat, it’s important that you prepare the surface for the sealcoat. Sweep the area to get rid of any dirt and debris so that it doesn’t get stuck under the sealant.
