Why Seal Coat ?

All Asphalt Oxidizes and Deteriorates

With time, weather and changes in temperature

Asphalt dries and cracks

Page 12: Www.wilco.org/resurfacing resurfacing hotline (512) 943-3393.

Pavement rapidly degrades after cracking starts, and then water

infiltrates

If left untreated, all asphalt streets eventually pothole
