 About the Chip Seal Process

Chip sealing, sometimes referred to as tar and chip, is a process that extends the life of roads, ensuring they remain safe and functional for longer periods of time. This method differs slightly from standard asphalt paving. Yet it is highly effective for restoring and reinforcing existing pavement. The process includes the following steps:

  1. Pavement Preparation – We clean the existing pavement, remove debris, and prepare the gravel base for the new surface.
  2. Applying Binder – A thin layer of hot tar is applied to the surface to help the aggregate adhere to the pavement.
  3. Spreading Chips – Aggregate chips are uniformly spread over the hot tar.
  4. Embedding Aggregate – Heavy rollers press the aggregate chips into the tar, binding them together.
  5. Curing – The tar and chip surface is allowed to set for a few days.

Once complete, the chip seal prevents the road from becoming brittle, maintaining its ability to bend and flex. We recommend regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the asphalt’s longevity and extend its lifespan. Whether you’re just looking for an inspection or you’re ready for complete maintenance, get in touch with Berchtold Asphalt today to start the process for chipseal paving in Bettendorf IA.
