We would recommend cleaning the asphalt regularly. This includes brushing or sweeping away garbage and debris and removing chemical and oil stains as soon as possible. Asphalt patching and prompt repair of potholes also helps to maintain the parking lot by not allowing potholes to grow and cover a larger potion of the asphalt. Adding a new sealcoat every three to five years will reduce the need for major repairs.
No. Asphalt patching temporarily mends the structural integrity of the pavement by filling the cracks but it doesn’t make them disappear. The cracks are still in the asphalt and only a complete repaving job will get rid of them.
Pavement cracks form when the base or subgrade weakens and is unable to support the amount/weight of traffic. If your pavement has developed cracks, we can help. Call us today for a free quote.
Cracks can’t – or shouldn’t be sealed until they have been filled and repaired. Crack repair is recommended at least once a year as an essential form of asphalt repairs and maintenance.
