With summer winding down, we thought it fitting to reintroduce ways to keep your asphalt driveway, parking lot or other paved surfaces clean and problem free. A little preventative maintenance now can save you money later. Use this fall asphalt maintenance checklist to care for your asphalt paved surfaces:
INSPECTION
Inspecting asphalt surfaces is one of those preventative maintenance jobs that’s easy to overlook. Don’t! Carefully inspect your driveway, parking lot or other paved surfaces for cracks, faded line striping, tripping hazards, and potholes. Any defects should be serviced immediately.
GENERAL UPKEEP
Make a great first impression on your visitors or customers by ensuring a clean asphalt surface. Cleaning your driveway or parking lot can reveal any issues, such as cracks or potholes that as mentioned, should be serviced immediately. It also ensures fall debris doesn’t lead to drainage issues.
WATER POOLING EVALUATION
The next time it rains, look for areas that collect water, which is often indicative of poor drainage. If left unattended, pooling water can damage asphalt over time. If you notice any standing or pooling water, contact a local asphalt company to schedule service before more costly problems develop.
