Surface Cleaning & Preparation
Professional Surface Cleaning & Preparation Services
The success of any pavement preservation project begins with proper surface preparation. Our professional surface cleaning services ensure your asphalt is perfectly clean and ready for sealcoating, crack filling, or striping. With 25+ years of experience, we deliver thorough cleaning that maximizes adhesion and extends pavement life.
Why Proper Cleaning Matters
A clean surface is essential for:
- Maximum Adhesion: Sealcoat bonds properly to clean surfaces
- Uniform Application: Even coverage without contaminants
- Extended Durability: Clean surfaces prevent premature failure
- Cost Savings: Proper prep reduces future repair costs

Frequently Asked Questions
Proper surface cleaning ensures maximum adhesion and durability of sealcoat. Dirty or oily surfaces cause sealcoat failure and reduce pavement lifespan.
We use industrial-grade equipment including 3000-4000 PSI pressure washers, power sweepers, mechanical brooms, and professional degreasing systems.
We apply professional degreasers that penetrate deep into pavement, breaking down oil molecules. High-pressure washing then removes all contaminants.
Typically 24-48 hours depending on weather. We use moisture meters to ensure surfaces are completely dry before applying sealcoat.
Spring and fall are ideal, but we work year-round as weather permits. We require temperatures above 40°F for optimal results.
