While there are many upsides to asphalt, there are some things to keep an eye on in order to protect your asphalt. The following are three of those items and how you can prevent them from destroying your asphalt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>1. Water<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When your asphalt lot is initially installed, chances are it\nwill be designed so as to sweep water off of the surface. This doesn\u2019t always\nlast forever, and if there are ever any spots where the water is able to collect,\nit can damage the surface. Water essentially weakens asphalt, which allows\ncracks and eventually potholes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sealcoating is just one of the many solutions to this issue. An asphalt parking lot should be seal coated about once every three years, but that depends on the amount of weather it\u2019s exposed to and the amount of traffic it receives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>2. Heavy Vehicles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t prevent heavy vehicles from driving on the\nasphalt, especially when that\u2019s what it\u2019s meant to handle, but that doesn\u2019t\nmean they won\u2019t leave a mark. Heavy trucks and other vehicles cause rutting and\ndeterioration. This makes the life of the asphalt shortened, which means you\u2019ll\nbe paying more in replacement costs too soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to avoid heavy vehicle ruts is to have\nthe asphalt installed properly in the first place. Working with a professional\ncontractor who has a lot of experience, you can design a layout that takes\nheavy vehicles into consideration. For example, they might install a thicker\nlayer of asphalt in areas where heavy vehicles are allowed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>3. Sunlight<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the sun can damage your asphalt if there are already\ncracks in it, it typically doesn\u2019t do much more than cause aesthetic damage.\nYou don\u2019t want your property to look old, faded, and worn out, so proper\nsealcoating is again the answer. This keeps your asphalt looking vibrant and\nnew at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, asphalt does take some time and maintenance\nto stay in good shape. <a href=\"https:\/\/nvmpaving.com\/contact\/\">Contact NVM\nPaving &amp; Concrete<\/a> today by calling 703-423-0471 or <a href=\"mailto:markb@nvmpaving.info\">sending us an email<\/a> for help maintaining\nyour asphalt lot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When property owners are choosing surfaces, they often turn to asphalt because of the durability and affordable cost.
