What is Sealcoating?
Sealcoating is a process where we apply a top-layer of coating for extra protection from water, chemical, and sunlight damage. Sealcoating can extend the life of your asphalt pavement and help you avoid costly repairs.

Benefits of Sealcoating for Parking Lots & Asphalt Surfaces
Prevents Water Damage
On an unsealed, paved asphalt surface, water is free to seep into the asphalt’s pores. This water can and will erode the asphalt surface, causing cracks and potholes to form. If water freezes in porous cement, it will expand and cause cracking. Our Austin sealcoating services keep water out of pockets of asphalt that it shouldn’t be in.
Defends Against Chemical Damage
Motor oil and other vehicle fluids saturate and break down asphalt surfaces. Bitumen is the active binding agent in asphalt cement and it is made of a crude oil by-product. Motor oil absorbs the bitumen which dissolves its binding properties. Our parking lot and asphalt sealcoating services effectively prevent potholes and erosion from appearing.
Protects From Sun Damage
The UV rays from the sun oxidize asphalt cement, causing it to lose its binding properties. Accelerated oxidation can create loose gravel at the asphalt surface, and it can break down the pavement’s thickness. Our Austin sealcoating team can do what it takes to safeguard your parking lot or asphalt surface from sun damage.
When To Sealcoat Your Asphalt Surface
Depending on the purpose of your asphalt surface, you may not need to sealcoat often in the St. Louis area. Some sealcoating contractors will sell you on an unnecessary sealcoating job when it’s not necessary. At Continental however, we strive to help you get the most out of your pavement investment.
