To uphold the life of your asphalt, you should practice regular asphalt maintenance and fill any cracks you see immediately.
Did you notice a crack in your asphalt parking lot? Don’t ignore it! While it would be nice if it magically disappeared, that isn’t going to happen. If you want your concrete or asphalt to lead a long and healthy life, you need to practice preventive maintenance and fill the cracks as soon as possible. Let PTG Enterprises explain.
Act Fast! Don’t Ignore Damage
It is important that you assess damage and take action to repair it immediately, before it worsens. Filling the cracks can prevent further damage and water penetration. Water penetration can erode the structure of your asphalt, leading to cracks, potholes and failure. A hot pour crack fill is the most cost effective way to prevent water penetration and protect your parking lot.
Sealcoating Your Asphalt
Sealcoating provides your asphalt with that sleek and smooth jet-black appearance. It isn’t just for show though. A sealcoat is a thin layer of liquid that is added to your paved surface to protect your asphalt from gas, oil, salt and inclement weather.
How to Fill The Cracks
If you have cracks that need filling, you should hire a professional to do the work for you. Winter wear and tear and weather can be very harmful for your asphalt. At PTG Enterprises, we can identify the proper solution for fixing your specific cracks and potholes.
