Asphalt Repair
When you’re the proud owner of an asphalt surface, whether that be a driveway, parking lot, or even an outdoor patio, knowing who to turn to when cracks start to develop is a must. At PaveRight Asphalt Driveway, we can help you repair existing asphalt surfaces as they begin to crack or show other signs of wear and tear. We can also help you restore and, often, redesign existing surfaces. Sometimes, even though a quicker repair is feasible, it might be a good idea to freshen things up with a more extensive one. Here’s a little bit of a walkthrough of how these types of services typically play out.
Evaluating an Asphalt Surface
This is the first thing that we have to do to then provide a rundown of what the best course of action might be. Does this mean that if you’re seeing just small cracks, it isn’t worth it to call for a repair? It really depends on the type of usage that the area gets. In certain cases, smaller issues can grow rather quickly and turn into major thorns in your side. Therefore, it’s better to have the surface evaluated and have a clear sense of where you stand than to pass it off!
Should You Repair an Asphalt Surface During a Heavy Rain Season?
It could be a problem, particularly if we’re going to seal the surface. A lot of times, if rain comes, it never allows the coat to truly settle. Some pothole repairs are also a bit less effective. Again, the best thing that you can do is get an evaluation. From there, we can help you decide what the best course of action might be. Especially if we’re talking about a large surface that could suffer way more damage if it’s left as is.
Restoring Worn-Out Asphalt Surfaces
There are different ways to restore really worn-out asphalt surfaces. One of the best things about asphalt is that complete removal and re-laying the surface isn’t necessarily something that’s going to take months. In some situations, you could also make repairs on cracks and then seal the surface to have it look as good as new. There are plenty of ways to repair asphalt surfaces in procedures that won’t take a ton of time and can provide really noticeable results. It’s one of the reasons why this sense of asphalt not being “durable” isn’t all that valid.
How Long Should an Asphalt Surface Last?
It really depends on the wear and tear on the surface. In most cases, you won’t have an issue with it lasting 20 years or so. Where things could change would be in a commercial setting. Think of a factory that gets a lot of heavy-duty vehicle traffic. The same thing could go for a parking lot that gets some of the same type of traffic. When it comes to regular driveways, you’re really not going to have a durability issue, especially if you’re looking for more years after a major repair.
