Cracks in your asphalt parking surface are an immediate cause for alarm. If left untreated, cracks will allow water to penetrate the surface, softening the stone base and leading to alligator cracking, spider webbing, pot holes and other forms of parking lot degradation. And as the weather quickly begins to cool this time of year, these problems are compounded. The freezing and thawing cycle can turn even the smallest of crack into a big problem.
If you don’t attack cracks while you have the chance, you may find yourself paying for premature and costly resurfacing. Crack filling may be your best solution. It can reduce pavement deterioration by restricting water penetration into the base and sub-base layers.
Crack sealing/crack filling of your asphalt pavement – driveways, parking lots and roads – is a necessary preventative maintenance measure, extending the useful life of your pavement and yielding long-term financial savings.
However, to experience the best results possible, you should leave your asphalt maintenance to a proven pavement professional with a track record for quality work, like PTG Enterprises, Inc.
“Properly crackfilling your parking lot is the single best thing you can do to maintain its life,” says PTG Enterprises owner, Patrick T. Gillen III. “Left untreated, small cracks will allow water in and become big cracks eventually penetrating through the asphalt and contaminating the sub-grade.”
