Crack Filling can preserve the Curb Appeal of your Baltimore Business

When it comes to running a successful business, image is everything, or so they say. Despite being told at a young age “don’t judge a book by its cover,” that is precisely what we do on a daily basis. We make snap decisions about businesses based on the outward appearance of their storefront. Poor curb appeal can negatively affect your business, warding off customers like a sign reading “we do not care about our own business, so why would we care about you!”

Crack Filling can preserve the Curb Appeal of your Baltimore Business

If we had a nickel for every time we talked about the freeze-thaw cycle, we would have quite a few nickles…

Bad jokes aside, this past winter wreaked havoc on asphalt parking lots all across the state of Maryland, from Baltimore to Ocean City. Water, which found its way into small cracks and holes, expanded as the temperature plummeted below freezing, causing small cracks to become large cracks and large cracks to become potholes. This process repeated itself several times throughout the harsh winter. The result: tremendous amounts of asphalt damage. Fortunately, there is a way to prevent further damage: Crack Filling.

Cracked asphalt isn’t just an eyesore, it’s a foundational risk. When left untreated, cracks will allow rain and moisture to penetrate the surface of the asphalt, softening the stone base and leading to further damage. Crack filling is exactly what it sounds like. It is the process used by asphalt contractors to fill cracks and prevent further water intrusion and, thus, protecting your pavement.

Crack filling, when performed in conjunction with other preventative maintenance tasks, such as seal coating, can greatly extend pavement life. Best of all, crack filling is very inexpensive, especially when compared to more extensive asphalt repairs. In fact, crack filling provides the most cost-effective use of dollars over time compared to other types of maintenance. Wow!
