Common Questions

Asphalt sealing is crucial in Seattle due to the frequent rain and occasional freeze-thaw cycles. It helps protect the asphalt from water penetration, oxidation, and UV damage, extending the pavement’s lifespan and maintaining its appearance.

In Seattle’s wet climate, sealing asphalt every 2-3 years is recommended. However, high-traffic areas or surfaces exposed to more severe weather conditions may require more frequent sealing. Regular inspections can help determine the ideal timing.

The ideal time for asphalt sealing in Seattle is during the drier months, typically from late spring to early fall (May to September). This allows for proper curing and reduces the risk of rain interfering with the sealing process.

Yes, there are eco-friendly options available in Seattle. Water-based sealers are less harmful to the environment than traditional coal tar-based sealers. Some contractors also offer plant-based or bio-based sealers that align with Seattle’s environmental consciousness.

Drying time can vary depending on temperature, humidity, and the type of sealer used. In Seattle’s climate, it typically takes 24-48 hours for the sealer to dry sufficiently for foot traffic, and 48-72 hours for vehicle traffic. However, always follow the specific recommendations of your contractor.

Yes, asphalt sealing can help deter moss and algae growth, which are common issues in Seattle’s damp climate. Many sealers contain additives that inhibit the growth of these organisms. Regular sealing, combined with proper cleaning and maintenance, can significantly reduce moss and algae problems.

Proper asphalt sealing shouldn’t negatively impact drainage if done correctly. In fact, it can help prevent water from penetrating the asphalt surface. However, it’s important to ensure that existing drainage patterns are maintained during the sealing process. In Seattle, where proper drainage is crucial, discuss this aspect with your contractor before sealing.

While asphalt sealing typically doesn’t require permits for residential properties, there may be regulations regarding the type of sealers used, especially near environmentally sensitive areas. It’s best to check with the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections or your local contractor for the most up-to-date information on any restrictions or best practices specific to Seattle.
