During the autumnal months in the Twin Cities, take the time to care for your asphalt pavement. Although there are many ways to ensure your asphalt is safe, asphalt crack sealing is the perfect way to prep for the colder months.
Crack sealing has many benefits for your asphalt parking lot. Here are just a few questions to consider regarding thorough, professional crack sealing this fall:
- What exactly does crack sealing do for my asphalt?
Through the process of asphalt crack sealing, professionals work to bond together the walls of a crack. With this protective seal in place your asphalt is better protected to withstand heavy snow and sleet during the winter months. If the water from melting snow isn’t able to penetrate your asphalt, the parking lot can’t crack as easily!
- Why is fall a good time of year to seal cracks?
Along with increased precipitation during the winter months, lower temperatures put your asphalt at risk. Constant freezing and thawing only increases the risk of an unsealed crack growing before spring arrives. To best prevent this type of damage, invest in professional crack sealing before it gets too cold outside.
- How long will a crack seal protect my asphalt?
Unlike simply filling in asphalt cracks, professional crack sealing using routing is a long-term solution. If completed correctly and before the winter weather arrives, crack sealing will protect your asphalt investment for many years to come.
