Richmond Driveway Sealing- Nasib Asphalt Paving
Why Richmond Driveways Need Professional Sealing
In Richmond, the porous surface of your asphalt might be penetrated by the mix of strong seasonal rains and salty coastal air. Your driveway's "binder" oxidizes in the absence of a protective seal, resulting in a brittle, grey surface and ultimately expensive "alligator" breaking.
### The Nasib 4-Step Protection Process
We don't simply spray and walk away. Our Richmond-specific procedure guarantees a strong adhesion between the seal and the existing surface:
Deep Surface Cleaning: Richmond's distinct silt, moss, and debris are eliminated using industrial brooms and high-pressure air.
Oil Spot Treatment: To prevent the sealer from peeling or flaking off, we prime oil and gas stains using a specialist glue.
Crack Infilling: To stop water from getting to the sub-base, we apply a hot-applied rubberized filler to any cracks larger than 1/4 inch before sealing.
Premium Sealcoat Application: We use a commercial-grade asphalt-emulsion or coal-tar sealer to create a waterproof "skin" for your driveway.
Benefits of Sealing Your Richmond Property
| Benefit | How it Works | Why it Matters in Richmond |
| Waterproofing | Blocks water from entering pores | Prevents damage from the high local water table. |
| UV Resistance | Acts as "sunscreen" for your asphalt | Stops the sun from drying out the bitumen oils. |
| Curb Appeal | Restores the deep, rich black finish | Boosts property value for Richmond's competitive market. |
| Gas/Oil Shield | Resists chemical softening | Prevents driveway "soft spots" from leaking cars. |
Local Expertise You Can Trust
Driveways in Richmond move more than those in North Vancouver or Burnaby because of the mushy terrain. Nasib Asphalt Paving recognizes that flexibility is vital. Our sealants are selected because they can expand and compress without breaking, offering a long-lasting barrier that, depending on traffic, lasts three to five years.
Customer Note: "We recommend sealing your driveway every 2 to 3 years to maintain the structural integrity of the asphalt and avoid the $10,000+ cost of a total replacement."
## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long does it take to dry?
In our humid Richmond climate, we recommend staying off the driveway for 24 to 48 hours after application to ensure a rock-solid cure.
What is the best time of year to seal?
Ideally, from May to September. We keep a careful eye on the local Richmond weather stations; for optimal results, we need a 24-hour window of dry weather and temperatures over 10°C.
Does sealing fix large potholes?
No. A protective measure is sealing. Before sealing the entire surface to match, we will do an asphalt patch repair if you have active potholes.
