The Process
First, we thoroughly clean all asphalt pavement with either skid loaders, power blowers, and wire brush push brooms free of dirt, vegetation, and debris. We also apply a vegetation killer that is formulated to kill all vegetation and the soil underneath it to prevent regrow. Before we seal coat or repair any asphalt pavement, we prepare the surface properly and a key part of that process is making sure to remove any grease or oil and gas drips and leaks. If you don't remove the old grease, oil, or gas it will eat its way right back up through the new seal coat or repaired area.
If this is not done correctly, the sealer will not adhere to the old asphalt surface property. We use a professional-grade oil remover degreaser, that will fully penetrate the asphalt and protect the surface from any further damage.
