Business owners work to generate profits. Any expense cuts into these profits and one major expense owners must deal with is parking lot maintenance and repair. However, tasks associated with the parking lot should never be delayed, as this is one of the first things a customer sees when they visit the business. Following are some questions that are commonly asked of Commercial Paving Services in Lake Geneva, WI.
Why are Cracks of Concern?
Any crack in an asphalt surface allows water to penetrate the surface and do additional damage. Thus, in turn, reduces the lifespan of the asphalt. In addition, any crack or defect in the asphalt may be a hazard to customers. No business owner wants to learn they are being sued because a customer fell or tripped in the parking lot due to a lack of maintenance. Straight cracks can easily be filled and this work should take place as winter approaches or during winter, which is when the asphalt expands. However, the work can be done at any time during the year. The exception to this is alligator cracks which cannot be repaired.
What are Alligator Cracks and Why Can’t They Be Repaired?
Alligator cracks are exactly what they sound like, cracks that resemble the skin found on an alligator’s back. If one or more of these blemishes are present in the driveway, this is a sign that water has seeped into the subgrade level and the asphalt must be redone. Depending on the size of the alligator crack, this section may need to be removed and replaced or the asphalt may need to be completely redone. Only a site assessment can determine this.
