Water expands as it freezes creating tremendous pressure on whatever contains it, including metal or plastic pipes. Regardless of the strength of the material, this expanding water can cause pipes to burst, particularly in unheated areas such as attics, crawl spaces, and exterior walls. To help prevent pipes from freezing, follow these tips.

Sealcoating provides a protective barrier against the elements, rain, snow. This prevents the asphalt from deteriorating due to these factors. Asphalt oxidizes over time, leading to a dry and brittle surface. Sealcoating helps to slow down this process, keeping the asphalt flexible and resilient. Sealcoating seals the surface, preventing water penetration. This is crucial because water can seep into the asphalt, leading to cracks and further damage when it freezes and expands. A freshly sealcoated surface looks dark and new, improving the appeal of your property. Sealcoated surfaces are easier to clean and maintain and less likely to stick to the smooth surface, making regular cleaning more effective.
