Keeping Your Asphalt Pavement Strong in the Summer Heat

June marks the start of summer and with that brings the scorching summer sun wreaking havoc on your asphalt. Make sure that your commercial property is protected from the sun’s harsh rays with these tips.

Conduct Regular Inspections of Your Pavement

It is imperative that you are thoroughly inspecting your asphalt on a regular basis. You should be checking your asphalt for any signs of damage, such as breaks in the surface of the pavement, cracks, and bubbles. This type of damage can quickly spread across your parking lot or driveway and cause complications that are hard to overcome if gone undetected.

Clean Your Asphalt Routinely

Allowing dirt, sand, trash and other debris to settle on your parking lot can quickly deteriorate the asphalt. Parking lot sweeping also reduces pollutions from storm water runoff which increases the longevity of the pavement material. Our sweeping services will help keep your pavement well maintained and your parking area clean and professional.

Filling and Sealing Any Cracks

Unnoticed cracks and potholes that are allowed to spread can cause serious damage to your parking lot. Failing to repair the surface allows water to penetrate, which can weaken the foundation of the pavement.  Immediate maintenance is crucial to prevent this from occurring. Sealcoating is equally as important for preventing damage as it protects your pavement from the sun's UV rays, which cause the surface to crack and fade, and from water that makes asphalt expand if it seeps into the material. Having an asphalt professional apply sealcoating is the best way to ensure that your parking lot is safe for summer.
