Here is what you need to know about cracks and the importance of sealing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Asphalt and Cracks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an asphalt parking lot, then odds are you are\ngoing to see cracks or potholes eventually. If you\u2019re unsure of how asphalt\ncracks, consider a few of these reasons: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Base settling<\/li><li>High traffic areas<\/li><li>Water and spill exposure<\/li><li>Freezing and thawing in winter<\/li><li>Deicer and snow removal chemicals<\/li><li>Improper drainage <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Asphalt cracks for a number of reasons. While preventative\nmaintenance can help to alleviate some of the danger, it is crucial to have\ncracks taken care of quickly to keep them from worsening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Importance of Crack\nSealer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have cracks in your asphalt, then you need to take\ncare of it. Most businesses choose to use a crack sealer to remedy the issue. Crack\nsealer helps prevent cracks and can keep them from growing even larger. The\nsealant contains a rubber material that allows for flexibility. This allows it\nto handle the change in temperatures through the winter. It can also prevent\nwater from entering your structure as well as preventing dangerous potholes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Effects of Winter <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the winter, cracks in your asphalt can become worse. Pothole\nformation also occurs more often during colder months. This is because the moisture\nexpands when it freezes beneath the surface of the asphalt. As it expands, it\ncreates larger cracks and damage to the asphalt. It is important to maintain\nyour asphalt to increase its life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to your asphalt parking lot, you need to treat it like the investment that it is. The best way to do that is to invest in regular maintenance.
