Blacktop Asphalt Sealing That Extends Driveway Life in Lansing

Lansing residents choose driveway sealing to protect blacktop asphalt from weather, UV rays, and stains that accelerate deterioration and lead to costly repairs. Knapp's Power Wash Services LLC applies professional-grade sealant that forms a durable barrier, preventing water infiltration and blocking the oxidation that causes fading and brittleness.

Unsealed asphalt in Lansing faces freeze-thaw cycles, intense summer sun, and oil stains that weaken the surface and allow cracks to widen into potholes. Sealing fills small voids, binds the surface, and creates a smooth, water-resistant finish that extends the driveway's functional life by years. The process involves cleaning, repairing minor damage, and applying sealant in even coats that cure to a protective layer.

Water is the primary cause of asphalt failure. It seeps into small cracks, freezes, expands, and breaks the pavement apart from within. Sealing prevents this by creating a waterproof surface that sheds moisture instead of absorbing it. UV rays also degrade asphalt by breaking down the binding agents, causing the surface to become brittle and crack under stress.

Professional sealing reverses early-stage damage and prevents new cracks from forming. Oil stains and chemical spills are also blocked from penetrating the asphalt, maintaining structural integrity and appearance. The result is a driveway that resists weathering, remains flexible under temperature changes, and requires fewer repairs over time.
