Common repair methods include crack sealing, patching, and resurfacing. Crack sealing involves filling small cracks with durable sealants to prevent water intrusion and further damage. Patching addresses localized issues like potholes by removing damaged areas and replacing them with fresh asphalt. Resurfacing, or overlaying, involves applying a new layer of asphalt to restore the surface’s integrity and appearance.
Preventive maintenance, such as seal coating, protects the asphalt from oxidation, UV rays, and water penetration, extending its lifespan. Regular cleaning and inspection also help identify and address problems early.
Investing in timely asphalt repairs and maintenance not only enhances the functionality and safety of the surface but also maintains its visual appeal and value, making it a cost-effective strategy for property owners and managers.
