Spring is coming! What does that mean for your pavement? Unfortunately, spring comes with a lot of potential problems that could cause damage to your pavement, so it’s important to prepare yourself with knowledge. In order to properly prepare for spring, you’ll need to read a few of the following tips and tricks. Read on to find out what spring can do to your pavement, and what you can do to prevent damage.
Conduct an Examination
The best way to figure out if your pavement is prepared for spring is to start off by inspecting it for damages. Potholes, cracks, and erosion are only going to get worse with spring’s frequent rainstorms. You should also be wary of cracks because plants or weeds could start to grow when the weather gets warmer. In order to make sure your pavement is properly inspected, invest in a professional to take a look.
Seal Coat
Concerned about your worn, tired pavement? Spring will not be forgiving. Pavement needs to be seal coated, preferably every season, but especially before spring. Seal coating prevents moisture from damaging the pavement’s foundation, which could end up causing cracks, or even sinkholes. Prevent these defects by having your pavement seal coated.
Restripe
Excessive rain could end up washing away a lot of the paint on your pavement. So, before you simply ignore your cracked and faded marks, be sure to restripe your pavement to keep your lines and markings crisp. For parking lots, this is especially essential.
