Live in Springfield? Don’t forget to invest in your driveway

Driveways are an important part of the exterior of your home.  As the first area that visitors will see when they arrive at your home, you want to ensure it looks its best. Driveways are also important in regard to the overall condition of your home. If you neglect them, they can crack or shift and cause further damage to your foundation.

When was the last time you thought about your driveway? If you live in the 07081 ZIP code, it’s probably been a while. Every year around this time homeowners are reminded that they should get their driveway repaired. That’s because the New Jersey weather can take a toll on your driveway and cause it to crack or shift.

How can I tell if I need to seal my driveway? 

There are a few signs that can indicate your driveway needs to be sealed.  First, if you see cracks in the surface of the asphalt or concrete, it may require sealing and repair work. Second, is there any dust on the grass surrounding your driveway? If so, this means water isn’t draining properly from underneath your home’s foundation which can lead to further damage such as shifting and erosion. Thirdly, do puddles form periodically throughout the year when it rains? This is another sign that indicates issues with drainage where moisture gets trapped between layers of pavement beneath your house’s foundation causing more problems for homeowners.

How does driveway sealing work?

There are two main types of driveway sealing that companies like Just Seal My Driveway can offer. The first is asphalt, which requires a hot mix to be laid down and then the sealant coatings to apply over it. This type of coating provides an even base for your driveway, helping protect against cracks or shifting without affecting its appearance too much.

The second method uses acrylic-based concrete pavement sealer in order to provide protection from water damage such as puddles caused by poor drainage beneath your home’s foundation. Some people prefer this because there is no disruption with cars driving on top of it either during or after the process. However, since these products do not provide any kind of reinforcement they may need more maintenance than others later down the road.

What should I do if I live in Springfield and need my driveway repaired?

If you are like most people, you probably don’t think about your driveway until it’s already in disrepair or showing signs of damage. That means now is a great time to get your home exterior assessed for any damages that may be present so they can either be fixed prior to winter weather arriving or sealed before next year when these issues arise again.
