Driveway Sealcoating Calculator

Erickson Asphalt provides a 30-day limited warranty on sealcoating work covering flaws in workmanship and weather-related issues such as thin or uneven sealer application and washouts caused by rain during the curing period. This warranty does not cover areas where sealer peels or fails due to improper surface cleaning in areas not cleaned properly because the customer did not elect all recommended services from Erickson Asphalt, nor does it cover damage from traffic, sprinklers, standing water, snow removal, or normal wear and tear. Any warranty claims must be made within 30 days of the original application date, and Erickson Asphalt reserves the right to inspect and determine if repair or reapplication is needed.

We hereby warrant all sealcoating applications against defects in material and workmanship. We will honor all written claims under the following conditions and guidelines.

1. Erickson Asphalt Services, Inc. cannot be responsible for damage of sealer due to lawn chemicals or sprinklers, domestic animals, foot or vehicle traffic for the appropriate sealer cure time. This is usually 24 to 48 hours.
2. Erickson Asphalt Services, Inc. will not be responsible for damage due to excessive standing water, standing gravel, snowplows, tire chains, or winter salt applications, also for any gas, oil, or anti-freeze on your sealed surface.
3. Erickson Asphalt Services, Inc. will not be responsible for sealer peeling and flaking due to oil or gas stains on asphalt. (Sealer does not stick to gas or oil.) Although we will not warrant this, we will do our best to prime and clean these areas to ensure the sealer adheres to the asphalt.
4. Erickson Asphalt Services, Inc. cannot be responsible for peeling and flaking due to tree sap. The owner of the driveway is responsible for power washing their driveway before application to ensure there is no tree sap on the asphalt surface. Almost all trees leave a form of invisible asphalt sap on the asphalt surface and cause the sealer to peel after the first winter.
5. Erickson Asphalt Services, Inc. will not be responsible for damages to crack sealer caused by tree root growth or insects present on driveway.
6. All claims must be in writing and submitted by Oct 15th, of the year the driveway is sealed.
7. If the sealer washes on the driveway due to rain, Erickson Asphalt Services requires a phone call to the office letting us know within 48 hours of the rain.

Everyday products that can cause sealer to not adhere properly or can cause damage to your freshly sealed driveway:

• Antifreeze and oil dripping from your car
• Playground chalk will come through the sealer
• Chocolate has oil and paraffin wax in it and will peel sealer (believe it or not this happened to a customer)
• Pitch from pine trees and possible other sap dripping trees, brown ring marks or streaks will come through
• Standing gravel from over the winter wears the sealer prematurely. Also tire chains on snow blowers will leave marks on the asphalt
• Lawn chemical that are sprayed on the grass and allowed to overspray on the sealer
• Wash and wax products used to wash your car. If you use them, do it on the street or on your lawn. Sealer will not stick on these products. It will cause a “milky white film” on the asphalt
• Foam tire cleaner for white walls that are silicone based products
• Anything that has paraffin wax base
• Pets. Pets should remain off newly sealed driveways for approximately 24 hours
