Your Short Pump Asphalt Sealing Contractor
Short Pump parking lot sealing is important because although asphalt has great waterproofing and adhesive properties, it also has some rather serious flaws that relate to its chemical makeup which provides easy access to weather, salts, and chemicals that destroy the asphalt molecules. As these molecules are destroyed, Short Pump asphalt will lose much of its original properties, such as waterproofing and binding. The first visual sign of this is a change in color from black to brown to gray. As Short Pump asphalt is a byproduct of petroleum distillation processes, it is easily dissolved by the many other products that are also derived from petroleum. This is because these individual items come from the same source, and therefore have a natural affinity for each other and will try to rejoin when put together again. Therefore, oil and gasoline both work to easily dissolve asphalt, which contains many very similar chemicals.
