A fog seal is a cost-effective maintenance option that can improve the life of your pavement by further delaying the need for major maintenance or rehab. A fog seal is a single application of diluted asphalt emulsion onto an existing pavement surface. The purpose of this is to renew oxidized and worn pavement surfaces, which also helps to seal minor cracks, inhibit raveling, and improve the appearance of the surface. Fog seals can be used to preserve any distressed sections of a paved road until funds for long-term repair options become available.
Crack sealing is an important step in the maintenance of your pavement surface—it helps to prevent the need for larger projects down the road. Even the smallest cracks can easily expand into larger cracks, craters, and dangerous potholes. Crack sealing, when done properly and frequently, is an economical treatment for extending the life of your road.
A chip seal is an application of asphalt binder on existing pavement or native soils, followed by a layer of aggregate chips. The treatment is then rolled to embed the aggregate into the binder. A chip seal can also be applied in multiple layers for added durability. Usually performed on aging pavement, this is also used on new roads to further extend the life of the pavement.
