Gopher State Sealcoat, Inc.

Asphalt emulsion sealcoating is one of Gopher State’s staple services. It’s a cost-effective method that extends the lifespan of your Twin Cities property’s asphalt and protects against degradation. Sealcoat acts as a preservative layer to your asphalt pavement, protecting it from external elements including sunlight radiation oxidation, moisture penetration, oil, and even excessive salt, all of which can compromise the asphalt’s integrity.

What Sets Our Sealcoat Apart?

Of all the asphalt emulsion sealers offered in Minnesota, we only use sealcoat that has specialized polymers hot-blended into the mix to increase both its elasticity and lifespan. This method of sealer mixing is what sets us apart from the competition and products you may find in box stores. To ensure the quality of our product, it’s important to us that we provide our customers with locally-sourced sealcoat. That is why we have partnered with the most trusted and innovative companies in the state to ensure that our product meets your and the industry’s environmental and durability standards.

Our sealcoating process begins by thoroughly cleaning every part of the asphalt surface with high-pressured air, wire-bristle brooms, and when applicable, a sweeper. This step is essential as without a clean surface, the sealcoat will prematurely peel and erode. Though cleaning is the backbone of sealcoating, the application plays a vital role in how long the protective layer will last. To give you the best results, we pride ourselves on hand applying our sealer on edges and spraying or using a spreading machine to complete our projects. This allows us to achieve not only an aesthetically appealing finish, but also gives us more control in applying the correct amount of sealcoat.

After the edges are finished, we utilize large tank spray rigs and/or squeegee machines to protect the remainder of the asphalt with sealcoat. To guarantee that the sealcoat dries and cures completely, we recommend staying off the asphalt for at least 24 hours. This will allow the sealcoat to properly set and increase its longevity.

Asphalt is bound to crack. The natural shifting of the ground is constantly putting pressure on your asphalt, making it expand and contract, causing cracks. This allows moisture to penetrate the base layer of the asphalt and break down its structure. The freeze/thaw cycle here in the Twin Cities only compounds this problem. Without professional intervention, it can result in potholes and large cracks, creating an unsafe environment for vehicles and pedestrians.

Crack sealing is the first major step in structural maintenance for your asphalt. Completed early, routing and hot crack sealing will prevent moisture and other substances from penetrating the asphalt and will help extend its lifespan.

How Do We Do It?

The process of crack sealing is quite simple.

First, we rout the existing cracks to create a clean-cut reservoir which aids in effective bonding and proper application of the sealant. Routing a crack before sealing it allows the rubber in the crack to expand and contract with Minnesota’s severe temperature fluctuations and the ground’s movement.

Next, the crack is cleaned out using high-pressured air to ensure bonding between the pavement and crack sealant. Gopher State Sealcoat uses Mn/DOT Spec 3723 rubber sealants— the same product used on highways. We will use either a bander or a melter wand to apply the sealant, depending on the particular commercial project. Once the hot sealant cools it may naturally settle.

Over time, cracks may need to be touched up. However, routed cracks cannot be routed again— only refilled. This is why, with our process, we ensure the cracks in your commercial asphalt are repaired properly the first time.

Routing and hot crack sealing can extend the life of your Minneapolis property’s asphalt and save you from costly replacement. For more information or for a free estimate, contact Gopher State Sealcoat today!https://gopherstatesealcoat.com/routing-crack-sealing/
