Watch the video below which explains the sealcoating process:
Notices are currently being distributed to homeowners informing them that their streets will be treated. This will provide residents with the opportunity to move vehicles from the roadway. Residents are encouraged to relocate their vehicles during the sealcoating weeks as vehicles left in the right-of-way can result in an untreated area of pavement which interferes with the intent of the sealcoating process.
If a vehicle is parked on the street during the application time, Home Motors will tow it out of the construction zone and then place it back in the original location after the sealcoating cures. The City will pay for all tows.
Sealcoating is not to be confused with resurfacing a roadway. Sealcoating involves applying a thin layer of asphalt and rock to a street’s surface. This method of maintenance prevents moisture from seeping into the asphalt and damaging the roadway’s base. The process assists in preventing new or additional cracking that eventually lead to pothole formation.
Contractor CK Newberry LLC. will be sealcoating selected city streets throughout the community. This marks the seventh year of an eight-year cycle to maintain every city roadway in San Angelo.
