Preventive
Maintenance is the Key to making your pavement investment last:
Only
one thing will maximize your pavement's life, preventive
maintenance. This means minor defects must be identified and
repaired early, before major repairs are needed. It also means seal-coat
your pavement to keep out deteriorating elements and chemicals
Preventive
maintenance is important because even though small fissures in the
pavement are rarely noticeable, they may develop into serious defects if
not repaired early.
Cracks
and surfaces breaks may occur in only a few days time in an
under-designed pavement under heavy traffic. If the underlayment can't
accommodate it - especially in presences of water - your surface
will fail.
One
way to stop small fissures from developing into large problems is to
have your pavement periodically inspected by a professional. Minor
defects can be repaired before they deteriorate into pavement failures
requiring major maintenance expenditures. Preventive maintenance should
start soon after asphalt has been installed to add many years to its
life and reduce the chance of problems developing in the future.
Another
way is to allow Proseal Pavement Protection to assist your with a
pavement protection program. Just contact us.
