There are ways to keep up with your asphalt repairs to ensure your parking lot lasts as well as your budget. It’s crucial to maintain your parking lot to prevent having to fully replace your asphalt.

 

Crack Filling 

One of the services property managers can do that is easy on the budget is crack filling. Crack filling is necessary to prevent water and oils from leaking  Crack filling on average costs .75-$1.00 per linear foot of crack. With crack filling every two-three years this will help prevent larger cracks and potholes to form.

 

 

Patching

If potholes do form in your parking lot, it is important to take care of them before they get any larger. The proper way to do this is by saw cutting out the problem area, replenishing/grading the base materials, and then laying in new hot mix asphalt.

 

 

Sealcoating

After your parking lot is crack filled and patched, sealcoating will give your asphalt that final coat of protection to help ensure your asphalt will last. Sealcoating helps keep oils and waters out of your base materials.
