Recommended Maintenance for Asphalt<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Some considerations to keep in mind when creating an asphalt\nmaintenance plan is that all maintenance agendas will vary at some degree. Furthermore,\nunderstand that some tasks can be managed on your own, or by an appointed\nstaff, but others should be carried out by a licensed paving company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you have a tarmac, parking lot, commercial drive, embankment\ndam, or other large-scale asphalt surface, these maintenance tips will help you\nextend the life and performance of your pavements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

☑ Routine Cleaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just like concrete, asphalt pavement should be periodically\ncleared of excess debris, including leaves, snow, ice, and trash, as well as,\nroutinely cleaned. Pressure washing, stain removal, and other similar cleaning\ntreatments are recommended for asphalt in order to sustain visual appeal and\nlongevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

☑ Seal Coating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Seal coats are emulsions that are brushed or sprayed onto\npavements, providing a clear protective layer against moisture and more. Without\na proper sealcoat, asphalt pavements will experience amplified wear and tear\nfrom traffic, weather, chemicals, salts, and more, which shortens their life\nand diminishes their aesthetic value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

☑ Preventative Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aside from seal coating, it is important to take additional\nprecautions to ensure your pavements are protected, year-round. For asphalt, it\nis encouraged to never use harsh chemicals on its surface, including harmful\ndeicers in the winter to combat snow and ice accumulation. Keep in mind,\ndeicers that contain ammonium nitrates and ammonium sulfates are more damaging\nto asphalt than others. Sand and shoveling are the best methods of snow\nmanagement when it comes to protecting asphalt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

☑ Prompt Repairs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When asphalt experiences the start of a defect, it is important\nto have it repaired as soon as possible, before it can turn into a large,\nintensive, tedious, and costly repair. For instance, if you are noticing\nalligator cracking on the surface of your asphalt, have these cracks treated\nand filled promptly to prevent further crumbling and pothole development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
