Summer Paving Thems for Your Property!
We went over some of the basics of summer asphalt maintenance for your property. While summer generally includes fewer moisture risks than the winter period, there are still several important areas to keep in mind while ensuring your asphalt surfaces function properly and safely – while maintaining a strong aesthetic – this season. Here are 3 summer paving repair and maintenance tips and themes to keep in mind.
Asphalt Sealing
If your asphalt has not been previously sealed, the summer – and particularly this late summer period we’re entering right now – is often the ideal time to do so. Asphalt coating and sealing are vital for protecting the surface and preserving it over time, limiting the impact of heat, oxidation, and, often most importantly, water damage. Such water damage may be a limited risk during the hot summer, but this changes in a hurry once we get to fall.
Water Damage Risks
Now, sealing is not the only method available to you in terms of protecting your surface from moisture risks. There are also several other themes to consider here, including a few that are relevant during asphalt paving and installation. For one, sloping is a major variable to keep in mind. If your asphalt surface is too flat, it will allow water to pool up on top of it, leading to seepage issues that damage the foundation of the asphalt.
Traffic and Weight
Another significant summer factor for your asphalt surface is the kind of weight it’s exposed to on a regular basis. The sun makes heavyweight particularly damaging in some cases, so it’s important to have weight properly distributed – avoid heavy items staying on the surface for too long, especially if performing any kind of construction or landscaping in the area.
