Blacktop pavement can develop many problems over a short period of time if it is not cared for properly. Is one of the companies that understands the value of asphalt maintenance. The weather in Charlotte NC can be harsh in the winter leaving the asphalt vulnerable to developing cracks and potholes as well as cracks that turn into rapid deterioration of the asphalt surface.
Catch Basin Repair is essential for a safe parking lot that will not damage cars that run into these unsightly and dangerous spots on the pavement.
Patching is necessary to prevent water from sinking into the crack and forming ice underneath which will expand and contract causing the cracks to become wider and look like a parking lot made of cracks tied together somehow. Nothing will demonstrate a lack of concern for your clients like a parking lot that is full of cracks where a woman with high heels dare not walk.
Crack Filing is a process of cleaning out the crack and lining the sides with a product that enables the asphalt to adhere to the sides. It is important to keep the asphalt from sinking and forming a crack in the same place. Charlotte NC paving contractors have this process mastered since they have been dealing with it for many years. There are two ways of filling cracks; one way is to fill it with hot asphalt, and the other way is to fill it with cold asphalt and pack it down so it cannot move.
Overlays The overlays are necessary over time because the asphalt deteriorates so badly that it cannot be repaired. Overlay thickness is about 1 3/4 inches after the new asphalt has been compacted. The compaction will fill in the imperfections and leave a new parking lot. The beauty of this process is a wonderful attraction to customers and clients. Charlotte NC paving contractors can provide specialists in this work.
Seal Coating is mandatory for asphalt maintenance. Without it, the asphalt will deteriorate. The asphalt binder that holds the pavement together will start to oxidize. Rain and snow will begin to quickly penetrate the asphalt pavement causing a lot of damage and substantial deterioration. The penetration may not show up in the form of cracks but it will weaken the entire asphalt base. Learn more about Charlotte Concrete Designs.
