A well-maintained parking lot is more than a convenience—it’s a major investment in your commercial property’s safety, appearance, and long-term value. Regular maintenance not only prevents asphalt deterioration but also saves business owners thousands of dollars by addressing issues early. Here’s a simple checklist to help you protect your lot and extend its lifespan.
Inspect for Cracks, Potholes & Surface Wear
Small cracks quickly expand when exposed to water, UV rays, and Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles. Early crack filling prevents moisture from seeping into the base layer, which helps avoid more expensive structural failures. When deeper damage appears, timely patching prevents potholes from spreading. Learn more on our Asphalt Repair Services page.
Sealcoat Every 2–3 Years
Sealcoating adds a protective layer to your asphalt, shielding it from oxidation, water intrusion, and chemical spills. Properties that sealcoat routinely experience smoother surfaces and fewer repairs. Explore our Sealcoating Services.
Maintain Proper Drainage
Standing water is one of asphalt’s biggest threats. Inspect drains regularly and ensure your parking lot slopes correctly to move water away from the surface. Poor drainage accelerates cracking, potholes, and base damage.
Refresh Line Striping & Safety Markings
Faded striping reduces curb appeal and creates safety hazards. Clear markings improve traffic flow, ADA compliance, and overall professionalism. Visit our Contact page to schedule a refresh.
Schedule Annual Professional Assessments
A yearly maintenance review helps identify early warning signs and ensures your asphalt stays in peak condition. Professional evaluations catch problems long before they become expensive repairs.
