Maintaining your parking lot is essential to keep your customers from injuring themselves or damaging their vehicle. Stepping in a pothole in your parking lot can cause someone to lose their balance and fall. Potholes are also hard on a vehicle causing damage to the shocks, struts, tires or rims. To keep your parking lot safe for people and cars, call a qualified company that does repairs and maintenance on Asphalt in New London. Below are some common questions about parking lot maintenance and repair.
Q.) What causes potholes in my parking lot and is there anything I can do to prevent them?
A.) Potholes begin as cracks and cracks form due to sun exposure, moisture and wear on the parking lot. Oil or gas leaks from vehicles also contribute to the deterioration of the asphalt. Rain seeps into the cracks on your parking lot. During cold weather, the water freezes down in the cracks and causes the asphalt to expand and the crack to get bigger. As the crack spreads, it can cause several smaller cracks to form in a centralized area. The crack has now turned into several chunks of loose asphalt and a pothole will form where the loose pieces break away. To keep potholes from forming on your asphalt lot, you can hire a company to seal coat your parking lot.
Q.) How does seal coating work to protect my parking lot from cracks?
A.) Applying a seal coat protects your asphalt from cracks by adding a protective sealer on the top of the parking lot. This sealant keeps the sun from damaging the lot and it also keeps rain from penetrating the cracks. It also keeps your parking lot from fading and looking unattractive. Seal coating will improve the appearance of your Asphalt in New London by giving it a new and shiny appearance.
