Driveway Sealing Syracuse NY Tips

Cracks have to be thoroughly prepped before applying the sealant.  Otherwise the cracks will re-appear at some point in time.

 

For small holes, the sides of the hole have to be prepared and the hole has to be thoroughly cleaned.  After this an appropriate sealant, such as a latex based patch has to be applied.  If there is a depression in the driveway, then a relatively fine aggregate has to be used with the patch mix to smooth out the driveway.

 

If there is a large pothole, then the cavity shape must be made round and uniform by using a chisel and hammer.  The depth should be at least two inches and in some cases even more.  The hole has to be free of any debris.  To fill the pothole, a coarse aggregate patch mix has to be used and it should be done layer by layer, with proper tamping in between.

 

Any oil patches in the driveway have to be thoroughly cleaned before the start of the work.  After cleaning and hosing down, the patch has to be completely dried.

 

Only after all such preparatory work has been completed can the sealant and filler be used to resurface the driveway.  A professional handyman service in Syracuse, NY will ensure all the steps are done correctly. The result will be a good looking, smooth driveway which will give you many years of trouble free service.  An amateur do it yourself job will look sloppy and in a short time you will be back to square one.  You can contact us for driveway sealing Syracuse, NY
