Rain and Asphalt Installation<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There is no way around it; asphalt cannot be installed when\nit is raining outside. Furthermore, asphalt installation projects must be postponed\nif it has rained recently and the ground is still wet. Why? Asphalt mixtures\ncontain oil, and we all know how oil and water react when they come into\ncontact: oil repels water. So when rain comes into contact with fresh asphalt, it\ncauses the oil to rise to the surface. This affects the asphalt curing process\nand the finished result in a number of ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, the overall quality of the project will be\njeopardized, and likely reduced. This includes structural reinforcement and\nstability, as well as, aesthetics, performance, and longevity. In the case that\nnewly-laid asphalt is subjected to rainfall or water, holes and cracks can form,\neventually leading to a crumbling mess of potholes and other major pavement\ndamages. Cracks and severe damage can also occur as a result of installing asphalt\nwhen the ground is still wet from a recently rainfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Prevent Asphalt Pavement Damage<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
