Prevalent Types of Asphalt Damage
Alligator Cracks
When interconnected cracks form on your parking lots or roadways, resembling alligator scales, it is a sign that the earth underneath your asphalt has shifted. When treated early, cracks can simply be sealed, or the asphalt base can be reinforced. But if prolonged, alligator cracks could require reconstruction of the entire pavement.
Potholes
As the weather changes and winter rolls in, the colder weather causes asphalt to expand and contract. As it does, certain areas of your asphalt may become thin and prone to forming potholes. When this occurs, simply filling the pothole will resolve the thinning and reinstate uniform smoothness.
Rutting
If you have ever driven on a road with a section with a long depression or elevation, defying the uniform surface of the rest of the road, you have experienced rutting. When roads are not layered properly, compacted enough, or consist of improperly mixed asphalt, it can lead to rutting and bumpiness.
Degradation
Over time, normal wear and tear cause asphalt to erode and begin degrading. This begins with a color reduction, going from a strong black to a dingy grey. Eventually, the asphalt can begin to crack and create pebbles that reduce your customer’s braking and traction.
