Fall Asphalt Repair: Getting Your Lot Ready for Winter
Fall is your last chance to get any asphalt repairs you need for your commercial property. Once the temperature dips below 55 degrees it becomes difficult to repair your asphalt. With winters in Southeast Georgia and North Florida always being unpredictable, it’s best to get any repairs done now before the onset of damaging winter weather. Read our blog to learn ways you can help protect your asphalt this October.
First, you are going to want to make sure that your property is free of any potholes. During the winter, most preexisting potholes get worse and new potholes are more likely to form. Potholes are harder to repair in cold temperatures, so it is best to go into the season without any signs of potholes on your property. Once any potholes are identified you are going to want to contact a professional to help patch the pothole immediately.
You will also want to inspect your asphalt for any cracks and have those repaired immediately as well. The more moderate temperatures of fall are optimal for crack sealing. In the cold temperatures of winter, pavement contracts and cracks become bigger while in the hot summer season, the pavement expands and closes the cracks. Crack repair should, therefore, be done while the weather is still on your side. Taking care of cracked or deteriorated pavement now can minimize further damage during the colder winter temperatures.
Next, you are going to want to thoroughly clean your property to ensure that all debris is off the ground of your parking lot before winter sets in. We highly recommended having your property power swept and pressure washed in order to make sure that all leaves and trash are removed.
