When Should I Repair My Asphalt?
When Should I Repair My Asphalt?
Black asphalt is used on flat surfaces everywhere, from driveways to parking lots and roads. This paving material offers many important benefits like durability, aesthetic appeal, and ease of maintenance.
However, that doesn’t mean that asphalt lasts forever in perfect condition. As the seasons change, it’s important for you to carefully evaluate it and identify which maintenance steps you need to take to help your driveway look like new.
You Find Long, Straight Cracks
If your driveway contains one or two long, significant cracks running from one side to the other, your driveway is most likely trying to say, “Help me immediately!”
These asphalt cracks are just like the cracks in your car’s windshield — they will grow larger, wider, and deeper over time and eventually ruin your entire surface area. The best solution is to clean dirt and debris from the crack, and then fill the entire crack with hot sealer to prevent future damage.
Spiderweb Cracks Are Growing Everywhere
Does your driveway look like somebody had too much fun with a hammer in the middle of the night? If cracks have overtaken your driveway and are spreading out of control, your driveway is letting you know that you need to devote time and money to serious repairs.
