Over the years, the elements take their toll on your asphalt parking lot. Rain, snow, sun, and the constant freezing and thawing slowly breaks down the materials that make up asphalt and the liquid binder that holds the pavement together begins to lose its natural resistance to water, further allowing liquid to seep into the pavement. Once this happens, the surface can quickly be affected. Visual asphalt deterioration, such as cracks and potholes, will begin to materialize. When this happens, immediate action is required.
Do not put this off and let small cracks become big problems. It is far better to pay for a little patching now than to have to pay for a total re-paving down the road. Asphalt maintenance will help extend the useful life of your asphalt, saving you both heartache and money. So what are you waiting for? Pick up the phone and call PTG Enterprises today! We are a full service commercial asphalt contractor in the Baltimore, Maryland area. And with more than a decade in the business, PTG knows a thing or two about asphalt maintenance. So why would you call anyone else?
Asphalt Maintenance
- Crack Fill: Asphalt cracks are sealed to prevent further water penetration and thus further damage.
- Overlay: An overlay is when a new and additional layer of asphalt is installed over what is already there.
- Asphalt Patching: Unlike an overlay, asphalt patching involves the removal of the damaged asphalt, typically in a single area. Once this is done, new asphalt is poured onto the existing sub-base or sub-grade.
Of course, you don’t have to wait for something to go wring before taking action. A preventive approach to maintenance could save you a lot of money. This is why you should talk to PTG Enterprises about Sealcoating, a preventive measure that helps safeguard asphalt from the harsh effects of gas, oil, salt, weather conditions and oxidation. Sealcoating, which is essentially a thin liquid layer added over a paved surface, is designed to block water infiltration, protecting your asphalt surface and extending its useful life.
If you have any questions about Sealcoating or Asphalt Deterioration and Asphalt Maintenance, please contact PTG Enterprises aka My Pavement Guy today by calling 410-636-8777, or click here today! Unlike those other asphalt contractors, we care about you and your business. In fact, when you hire PTG, you’ll work with owner Patrick Gillen from start to finish, from the initial site visit and pre-construction meeting to the final walk-through.
