Understand Sealcoating Benefits and Process

What happens here

The video introduces the lucrative business of asphalt sealcoating. Marvin, the expert, explains that asphalt gradually loses its essential aggregate over time, leading to rough surfaces, cracks, and potholes. These issues arise from water penetration and oxidization. Sealcoating acts as a protective layer, applying an asphalt emulsion or coal tar emulsion to prevent water damage and oxidation, thereby extending the asphalt's lifespan by 30-40 years with regular application every 2-3 years. This foundational understanding is crucial for anyone entering the business.
