I did not know the fact that asphalt seal-coating fills surface voids, which help to reduce exposure to oxygen and UV rays. The parking lot’s floor outside my daughter’s school is very damaged and when it rains, it gets flooded. it might be a great idea for the school district to take care of that before the raining season.
thanks Derek and we would be glad to help if needed.
