Asphalt Repair

Patching is a common asphalt repair on areas of pavement with potholes or large cracks. Potholes occur when water seeps into pavement through unsealed or improperly sealed cracks. When the water temperature fluctuates it expands and enlarges the crack. Heavy rains and high volumes of water run-off will also erode your parking lot asphalt's substrate. When the base under the pavement washes away, a void is left. Surrounding pavement falls into the void and forms a pothole.

As asphalt pavement ages and is subjected to vehicle wear, your parking lot's appearance diminishes over time. Cracks will spread and deepen within the asphalt. Without ongoing maintenance, water may enter through the cracks and holes may form when the undermining substrate is eroded. When this happens, the most effective repair is to remove and replace the deteriorated areas.

Asphalt Paving

Asphalt paving is ideal for your parking lot surfaces because of its durability, cost effectiveness, simplicity, and strength. It is the material of choice for most commercial facilities because asphalt withstands heavier loads and high volume automotive traffic.

Despite its durability, asphalt is subject to stress, wear and tear, and inclement weather. It can also be penetrated by substances such as oils, grease, sand and salt which can lead to a breakdown in asphalt’s components and base foundation resulting in deterioration, cracks and potholes over time.

Asphalt paving or resurfacing is a long-term and cost-effective solution is to managing your parking lot areas. If you notice standing water on the pavement or large sections of cracks forming, it is a good idea to have your pavement resurfaced.

This process consists of several steps including preparing and cleaning the area, leveling asphalt of low areas, grinding all transitions, adjusting all drainage structures, and many other steps unique to each site.

In order to maximize the life of your asphalt parking lot, it is important to develop a pavement management plan involving routine inspections and ongoing preventative maintenance. When combined with proper asphalt maintenance, your parking lot areas can lasts for many years.

Asphalt Sealcoating

Asphalt sealcoating is designed to protect asphalt pavements from the damaging effects of the environment which include rain and ultraviolet oxidation. Protecting pavement with seal coating has basically the same effect as using sun block on your skin or varnish on wood- it slows the destructive effects of weather. Sealcoating can double the life of your pavement by protecting It from its enemies: sun, oxidation, weather, water, oil & gas. Parking Lot Services applies sealcoating products tailored for each particular situation to form a tough protective coating over your parking lot.
