Blanch, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/01/2013 -- Pave South is excited to announce a new discount on sealcoat and stripping services in advance of the spring thaw. North Carolina winters can be rough on parking lots; once the snow clears, asphalt paving has usually lost its color and acquired several new cracks and potholes. This year, as many businesses begin to fix up their parking lots in March, Pave South is offering this 10% discount to customers who mention it when they request a quote.

Over time, sunlight oxidizes asphalt, causing it to lose aggregates and become thin and brittle. During winter, water sinks into the asphalt before freezing, expanding the asphalt with it and melting, leaving cracks and further weakening it. With the added strain of salt and cars regularly driving over it, asphalt can wear out quickly if it isn’t properly cared for.

Sealcoating does two main things for asphalt: it helps protect asphalt from this natural wearing, and it helps aesthetically improve asphalt by improving the color and smoothness of the surface. Companies are recommended to seal coat their parking lots at least once every two or three years as it extends the life of the asphalt by up to 300% and dramatically reduces maintenance costs.
