How does weather impact the need for commercial asphalt repair?
Weather plays a significant role in asphalt deterioration. Freeze-thaw cycles can cause cracks to expand, and heavy rain can erode the pavement. Intense sunlight can also lead to oxidation, making the asphalt brittle and prone to cracking.
What are the benefits of timely commercial asphalt repair?
Timely repairs extend the lifespan of your parking lot, improve its appearance, and enhance safety. Addressing potholes and cracks prevents accidents and liability issues. Regular asphalt repair also helps maintain property value.
What is the difference between crack filling and seal coating, and when should each be used?
Crack filling involves sealing individual cracks to prevent water intrusion and further damage. It’s best for isolated cracks. Seal coating is a protective layer applied to the entire asphalt surface, preventing oxidation and weathering. It’s recommended for newer asphalt or surfaces with minor wear. Both are important parts of parking lot maintenance and can be done during commercial parking lot repair services.
