It\u2019s important you understand how\nwarmer weather affects asphalt so you can do everything possible to maintain\nit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Heat Causing Cracks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The heat of summer will cause cracks in your asphalt. This\ncan happen on the first warm day after a long winter, but it could also happen\non a very hot day in the middle of summer. Once your asphalt has cracks in it,\nthere will be air pockets through and beneath the surface. Any pressure put on\nit, such as by a vehicle driving on top of the crack, will cause the surface to\nfurther crack and crumble into those air pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cracks that are not repaired in a timely manner could end up\ncausing more serious damage as a pothole begins to form. If it rains, the water\nwill seep down to create more crumbling and collapsing as well. Once winter\nhits again, the water that has collected in the cracks will freeze, causing the\ncracks to become bigger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Sun Fading<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The sun will also cause asphalt to fade over time. While\nthis isn\u2019t damaging structurally, it will damage the visual appeal of your lot.\nIf you\u2019re going for that great first impression, a fresh sealcoating will do\nthe trick to get your asphalt looking new again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Repairing the Damage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice any heat or sun damage on your asphalt during the warmer months, it\u2019s important you get it repaired as soon as possible.
