At J & J Asphalt, we believe that well-maintained asphalt not only looks great but also extends the life of your pavement. While asphalt is built to last, constant exposure to traffic, weather, and time eventually causes wear. Knowing the warning signs helps you take action before minor issues become costly repairs.
1. Visible Cracks
Small cracks may not seem serious at first, but they allow water to seep beneath the surface. Over time, this weakens the foundation and leads to larger structural problems. Prompt crack filling prevents further damage.
2. Potholes
Potholes are a clear sign that your asphalt needs immediate attention. They form when water infiltrates cracks and erodes the base layers. Potholes not only damage vehicles but also pose safety hazards for pedestrians.
3. Standing Water
If water pools on your asphalt after rain, it means the surface is no longer draining properly. Standing water accelerates deterioration and can lead to more severe cracking or potholes if left untreated.
4. Fading or Discoloration
UV rays and oxidation cause asphalt to lose its rich, dark appearance. Faded pavement may seem like a cosmetic issue, but it often signals weakening and increased brittleness that requires sealcoating or resurfacing.
5. Uneven Surfaces
Shifts in the underlying base or long-term wear can cause bumps, dips, and uneven areas. These not only reduce curb appeal but can also create tripping hazards and damage vehicles over time.
