January 9th, 2020
parking lot maintenance needed for cracked pavement

Parking lot maintenance includes sealing cracks before they lead to larger problems such as potholes.

When maintaining and preserving a business’s parking lot, property managers should be on the lookout for three key signs of wear: potholes, cracks, and damage so severe that it needs to be replaced. Customers or visitors do not want their cars to be jostled by potholes, and they don’t want to trip and fall over large cracks or ruts in the parking lot. These pavement troubles can lead to consequences ranging from a personal injury suit to decreased business and a negative reputation.

If you take care to spot and quickly fix any potholes, cracks, and severe damages, you can be sure that your business will stay booming.  Read the rest of this entry »
