Driveway Sealing Lab is an independent editorial site about driveway sealing
    and asphalt repair: what sealcoat, crack fill, patching and overlay cost, when
    sealing helps and when it does not, and how to judge the crew doing the work. We
    are not a paving contractor, a sealant manufacturer or an asphalt lab — we do
    not seal driveways or sell product.

## What we publish

- Cost guides with cleaning, crack fill, sealcoat, patching and cure time separated.

- Method guides on sealcoat types, crack filling, patching and overlay, and the pavement each suits.

- Problem guides that start with the cause — oxidation, alligator cracking, base failure, poor drainage — rather than a product.

- Comparisons decided on pavement condition, expected life and total cost.

- Contractor guides: licence, insurance, cleaning method, coverage rate and rain risk.

## How we work

- Sealant data sheets and pavement-maintenance guidance before sales pages.

- Pavement condition and drainage treated as what decides the result.

- Ranges, not fake precision; an estimate is labelled and its inputs are shown.

- Affiliate links disclosed; placement never follows commission.

## Who writes it

    The byline is **Driveway Sealing Lab Editorial Team**, edited by
    [Ben Okafor](/authors/). Every article lists its sources, and
    every cost figure names the document or price guide it came from. When a reader
    sends a quote that contradicts a band, the band and the quote both go on the page.

## What we do not do

    We do not seal, patch or pave driveways, and nothing here replaces an on-site
    look at the pavement and its drainage. If water is pooling against a foundation
    or the base is failing, the response is drainage and base repair before any
    surface treatment — our role is to explain the options and what they cost.
