Signs Your Pavement Needs Repair
Recognizing the signs of pavement damage can help you address issues early.
Cracks and Fissures
Cracks are one of the most visible signs that your pavement requires attention. Small cracks can allow water to penetrate the surface, leading to further damage. Address these early to prevent them from expanding.
If left unattended, cracks can worsen and result in potholes. Regular inspections can help catch these issues early, allowing for simple crack filling rather than more extensive repairs later.
Pooling Water
Water pooling on your pavement after rain can indicate drainage issues. Over time, standing water can weaken the pavement surface, leading to erosion and structural problems.
Addressing grading issues or improving drainage can prevent water accumulation. A paving professional can help evaluate and correct any drainage problems to protect your pavement.
Fading and Discoloration
Fading or discoloration of asphalt is often due to UV exposure and can be a sign that your pavement is aging. While this is not necessarily a structural issue, it can diminish your property's curb appeal.
Applying a sealcoat can restore the color and provide a protective barrier against further UV damage. This maintenance step can rejuvenate your pavement and extend its lifespan.
