If you are considering making some improvements to your asphalt lot right now, you are not too late. The fall can pose certain challenges when it comes to sealcoating and pothole patching, but with the current amiable weather conditions we are experiencing in Indiana, you still have time to get your pavement ready to take on the cold this winter.

Continue reading to learn which duties you need to put on your pavement maintenance checklist this month in order to protect your asphalt all winter long.

Asphalt Maintenance

Ice, snow, and cold weather conditions can have a drastic effect on asphalt, even with certain protections in place. So asphalt that has not been safeguarded at all will quickly deteriorate and require more intensive repairs or restorations. In order to protect your property, keep your property safe for others, and save money overtime, it is necessary to stay on top of asphalt maintenance all year. But for this time of year, the most important points to focus on are sealcoating and repairs.

Asphalt Sealcoating

A sealcoat gives your pavement an extra layer of protection against all sorts of threats, from sun and heat, to freeze thaw cycles, traffic wear and tear, wildlife tampering, chemical spills, and more. Although there are certain temperature guidelines for sealcoating, right now is still perfect weather for an effective seal coat application. Be sure to talk to a licensed and trusted asphalt paving contractor about your pavement’s sealcoating needs.

Asphalt Repair

Another priority that needs attention this time of year are asphalt repairs. Potholes, cracks, damaged curbs, crumbling pavement, faded striping, humps and depressions, water drainage issues, and defective ramps all require repair before the winter comes. Once the winter arrives, not only will it be more challenging, if even possible, to repair these damages, they will only worsen during the seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. Then when spring comes, your pavement damages are more extensive, and therefore, more costly to repair.
