Everyday, your lots should be cleared of any garbage and litter. On a weekly and bi-monthly basis, parking lots should be swept to clear away dirt, leaves, and organic debris. This also includes snow and ice management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to clear away all solid matter from drains and sewers to ensure proper water runoff. Standing water can pose all sorts of structural problems for asphalt and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/services\/concrete.php\" target=\"_blank\">concrete<\/a>. Every few months, it is recommended to pressure wash parking lots to rid them of chemicals, mold, mildew, mud, oil, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pavement Markings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fresh coats of paint are a key element to superior parking lot maintenance. Parking spot stripes, traffic signals, crosswalk markings, handicap spaces, and more will all fade overtime. Give your lots a regular sprucing by having your paints applied annually with professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/services\/line-striping-road-marking.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">line striping and road marking services<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sealcoating<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/services\/sealcoating.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sealcoating<\/a> is one of the most important preventative maintenance services for asphalt parking lots and surfaces. Sealcoats provide a barrier between the asphalt and any potential contaminants and moisture. It is the best method of preventing water damages, cracking, deterioration, and premature natural erosion. Asphalt lots should be resealed every 2 or 3 years to ensure ultimate protection against weather and external pollutants like chemicals, oils, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pothole Repair and Crack Filling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Potholes do not stop forming once they appear. They will continue to get worse, eventually growing into craters and massive gaps in the surface of the lot. If you see crack formation and small potholes in your business\u2019s parking lot, it is vital to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/services\/pothole-repair-winter-cold-patching.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have potholes repaired<\/a> and refilled as soon as possible.
