THE OAKVILLE BEAVER June 29, 199 Tips for dealing with asphalt breakdown amage to asphalt occurs in } the spring and the fall when MA there is a lot of rain and in winter when moisture freezes in all the little cracks and crevices and lifts out small stones.

So basically your driveway is under attack all year long from the weather plus the abuse it takes from heavy trucks and car tires. A recent survey in the Toronto Star gave 10 years as the average life of asphalt drives provided they LiMitEp $29 PER ROOM (Up to 200 Square Feet!) receive proper care.

Quite incidental is the esthetic pleaâ€" sure you get from looking at a jet black drive. Before applying sealer sweep the surface clean and hose it free of all loose material. Fill any small cracks that are less than 1/4â€"inch wide with special caulking. Wider cracks should be filled with dry patch after you have scraped away any loose stone. Larger damaged sections or holes should be brushed out clean after chipping away at the edges to create a vertical edge. Asphalt has very little tensile strength so you don‘t want any feathered edges such as you apply when doing drywall repairs. Use the end of a 2 x 4 to tamp down the dry patch, getting it tight against the edges. If you dislike the mess of cleanâ€" ing up with Varsol, you should buy the emulsion type patching which can be cleaned up with water and soap. On large patches, lay a piece of old plywood over the patch when you have tamped it fairly level and drive over it with your car a few times. When all the patching and caulkâ€" ing is done, wait for a warm sunny day that heats up not only the driveâ€" way but also the dealer for easier application.
