Pavement in areas that experience weather both hot and cold, wet and dry, can be affected in a multitude of ways. The following are just a few examples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Hot Weather<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat isn\u2019t typically the biggest problem for asphalt, but it\ncan cause a few issues. One problem is the sun\u2019s rays. They will begin to fade\nthat dark black into a lighter, more unsightly gray color. The surface of the\nasphalt becomes soft when the temperature is particularly high, causing it to\ncrack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Cold Weather<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cold weather could be the biggest culprit of weather damage on asphalt. When the ground freezes and thaws, your pavement will begin to crack due to the opposite types of pressure put on it. Snowplows, ice melt, and other snow removal processes are harsh on the pavement as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Wet Weather<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can imagine, when water seeps down into the cracks\nthat are already on the pavement, the base begins to weaken. When the\nstructural integrity of your pavement is compromised, the entire driveway or\nparking lot can begin to crack, sink, and experience other types of damage.\nWhen water and cold weather are paired together, the freeze-thaw cycle is\nworsened, which also worsens damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Dry Weather<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The dry weather itself doesn\u2019t actually do much to the\npavement. However, when the dry is mixed with an extremely hot day, it could\nbuckle and crumble more harshly than you might expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>What You Can Do<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintenance is key in keeping your pavement high-functioning\nand in good shape. Be sure to fill cracks as they appear and have the pavement\nsealcoated every few years. Use trusted <a href=\"https:\/\/nvmpaving.com\/snow-removal\/\">professionals<\/a> to plow the\nsnow from your pavement, reducing the risk of unnecessary damage. Make sure\nyour lot has a proper drainage route and repair any problem areas as they\noccur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>Calling Someone Who\nCan Help<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether your commercial pavement is severely damaged or fairly new, keeping up on maintenance and repairs is essential.
