Need a Smooth Start for Your Asphalt Project?
Asphalt Milling Paves the Way!
At Connecticut Sealcoating, we're your one-stop shop for all your asphalt paving needs. Before you pave a new path, it's crucial to prepare the base properly. Asphalt milling is a fundamental step in many asphalt paving projects, creating a clean and level surface for a flawless new installation.
What is Asphalt Milling?
Asphalt milling involves using a specialized machine with rotating drums that grind down and remove a specific layer of existing asphalt. This process is essential for several reasons:
Creates a Level Surface: Over time, asphalt can become uneven due to wear and tear, settling, or previous repairs. Milling removes the uneven top layer, creating a smooth and level base for the new asphalt.
Improves Bond Strength: A milled surface exposes a fresh layer of asphalt, which creates a better bond with the new asphalt overlay or paving material. This stronger bond ensures a longer lifespan for your new asphalt surface.
Removes Damaged Asphalt: Milling effectively removes sections of asphalt that are cracked, raveled (loss of surface stones), or otherwise damaged. This ensures a solid foundation for the new asphalt and prevents underlying problems from resurfacing.
Recycles Asphalt: The milled asphalt material can often be recycled and reused in other paving projects, reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainability.
When is Asphalt Milling Necessary?
New Asphalt Installations: Milling is always required before installing a new asphalt surface on an existing paved area.
Asphalt Overlays: Milling is often recommended before applying an asphalt overlay to ensure a level surface and a strong bond between the old and new asphalt layers.
Patch Repairs: For large or deep repairs, milling can be used to remove damaged sections of asphalt before patching them with new material.
Drainage Improvements: Milling can be used to create the proper slope for improved drainage on your asphalt surface.
