How to Clean Your Driveway Before Making Repairs

At A Real Advantage Construction, it is important to us that we start your asphalt repair right and this process includes cleaning your driveway before any repairs are started. Here are a few steps we take to clean the driveway, something that you can do at home if you are making your own asphalt repairs Brooklyn.

Start by finding an appropriate tool for getting the weeds off the driveway and out of the cracks. You can use a lawn edging tool or a spade. Then, room any loose asphalt from the cracked or damaged portion of the asphalt driveway Brooklyn. To do this, you can use your garden hose or, if available, compressed air. Finish the removal by sweeping the asphalt driveway Queens. Your next step is washing the driveway by scrubbing it with a diluted cleaner that removes oil and dirt. If there is any oil remaining, you can use an oil-spot primer on them. After you have removed the dirt and oil, hose down or pressure wash the driveway. Then, use a shop vacuum to remove any loose debris. Wait for everything to dry. Now, you are ready to start your repairs!

Hose the driveway with as much pressure as possible. Start on the uphill and rinse toward the sides.
