Protect your Pasco asphalt from the sun and traffic with a tough, long-lasting slurry coat that keeps it looking new.
Get Your Free EstimateSlurry coating is a cold-mix asphalt emulsion that we apply to your existing asphalt pavement. It's a blend of asphalt emulsion, mineral aggregate, water, and additives. This process covers small cracks, seals the surface, and restores the deep black color of your driveway or parking lot. We make sure the surface is clean and prepped right before we lay it down.
Our approach starts with a thorough inspection of your asphalt. We're looking for any major repairs needed first, like deep cracks or potholes, because slurry coating won't fix those. Once the surface is ready, we clean it completely, removing all dirt, debris, and oil stains. Then, we apply the slurry mix evenly across the entire surface. We use specialized equipment to get a consistent, smooth finish.
For Pasco properties, slurry coating is a smart move. Our hot, dry summers here in the Tri-Cities can really bake asphalt, making it brittle and faded. The freeze-thaw cycles in winter also contribute to cracking. A good slurry coat acts like sunscreen for your pavement, blocking UV rays and sealing out water, which are the main culprits for asphalt breakdown in our climate.
Homeowners often ask about drying time. Typically, you'll need to keep traffic off the coated surface for 24-48 hours, depending on the temperature and humidity. We'll give you a precise timeframe when we're on site. It's a quick process that offers big protection for your investment.
A properly applied slurry coat in Pasco can extend the life of your asphalt pavement by 5 to 10 years. This isn't just a guess; it's based on how well the coating protects against our specific weather.
The intense summer sun here in Pasco is tough on asphalt, causing it to oxidize and fade fast. The slurry acts as a sacrificial layer, taking the brunt of the UV radiation and heat. It also fills in hairline cracks, stopping water from getting underneath and causing bigger problems when it freezes and expands during colder months.
Without slurry coating, your asphalt will degrade much faster. You'll see more cracking, fading, and aggregate loss within a few years. Investing in a slurry coat now saves you from more expensive repairs or even full repaving down the road, especially with Pasco's varying temperatures.
We start by thoroughly cleaning the asphalt, removing all dirt, oil, and debris. Any significant cracks or potholes get patched up first, as slurry coating is a surface treatment, not a structural repair.
Smaller cracks are sealed with specialized material to prevent water intrusion. This step is crucial for the coating to perform its best and prevent future damage.
We apply the asphalt slurry mix evenly across the entire surface using specialized squeegees and brushes. Our team makes sure to get a consistent, smooth finish, covering every inch.
The newly coated surface needs time to cure. We'll advise you on the exact no-traffic period, usually 24-48 hours, depending on Pasco's weather conditions that day.
We've been handling slurry coating jobs all over Pasco, from the Riverfront to Road 68, for years. We know the local conditions and what it takes to get the job done right here.
