Sealcoating is a protective procedure used on asphalt pavements to safeguard them from water, sunlight, oils, and other damaging elements. AJM applies a layer of sealer directly onto the asphalt surface. Sealcoating offers several benefits:

1. Weather Resistance: Protects against water penetration that can lead to cracks and deterioration.
2. UV Protection: Forms a shield against sunlight, preventing asphalt oxidation and brittleness.
3. Enhanced Appearance: Restores the deep black color of asphalt, giving it a renewed appearance.
4. Prevents Oxidation: Reduces exposure to oxygen, slowing down the aging process.
5. Ease of Maintenance: Creates a smoother surface that is easier to clean, reducing maintenance efforts.
6. Gas & Oil Resistant: Resists damage caused by gasoline, oil, jet fuel leaks and spills.
7. Environmentaly Friendly: A low VOC(Volatile Organic Compounds), non-flammable coating that contains NO coal tar.

AJM utilizes a unique water-based petroleum resin sealer that surpasses conventional coal tar or asphalt emulsion pavement sealers.  Our product is an eco-friendly sealer that offers tough, long-lasting protection, and maintains the safety of driveways and their surroundings. 

• We utilize high-quality commercial-grade products, which require proper licensing and insurance for application. 
• We employ professional-grade equipment for asphalt sealing.

*It's generally recommended to apply sealcoating annually, especially in regions with severe weather conditions, to maintain asphalt surfaces' integrity and appearance. Proper application is crucial to avoid premature cracking or peeling.

Asphalt crack filling is a maintenance procedure used to repair cracks that develop in asphalt pavement. It involves filling the cracks with a specialized material to prevent water infiltration, further damage, and to extend the lifespan of the pavement.

Purpose: The primary goal is to prevent moisture from penetrating into the underlying layers of the pavement. Water infiltration can lead to erosion of the base materials, frost heave in cold climates, and ultimately, the formation of potholes.

Materials: AJM uses cold pour asphalt crack filler which is rubberized asphalt crack filler formulated to be flexible and fast setting for use on asphalt pavements. Crack filler provides a tough, resilient barrier against moisture for cracks up to 1/2” in width. 

How AJM fills Cracks:

1. Preperation: The cracks are cleaned thoroughly to remove debris, vegetation, and loose materials. This ensures better adhesion of the crack filler.
2. Application: The crack filler is applied directly into the cracks using appropriate tools
3. Leveling: Excess material is leveled with a squeegee to create a smooth surface.
4. Timing: The crack filling process is typically performed before the sealcoating process, which allows sufficient time for the compound to set and harden. 

Benefits:

1. Prevents further damage: By sealing the cracks, crack filling prevents water from infiltrating and causing more extensive damage.
2. Cost-effective: It's a relatively inexpensive maintenance procedure compared to more extensive repairs like resurfacing or reconstruction.
3. Enhances pavement durability: Regular crack filling can extend the life of asphalt pavement by several years, delaying the need for more costly repairs.
4. Limitations: Crack filling is effective for cracks of certain sizes. Larger cracks or those indicative of structural issues may require more extensive repairs.

Overall, asphalt crack filling is a proactive maintenance strategy that helps preserve the integrity of asphalt pavements, ensuring they remain safe and functional for an extended period.
