Commercial property owners may wonder when it’s time to call the professionals for some asphalt pavement maintenance. The short answer is that it depends on how damaged your parking lot is, whether there’s potholes, deep cracks, or just surface wear. Here’s how different types of resurfacing services can help damaged or worn pavement.
Types of Asphalt Resurfacing
Asphalt Sealing
The best service for minor damage is asphalt sealcoating or slurry sealing. During this service, paving contractors use specialized equipment to apply a thin coating over the entire surface of the pavement that revitalizes and protects the asphalt. A sealcoating is a great service for slightly worn, dry, or minimally cracked asphalt parking lot or roadway, and it creates a good surface for line striping and pavement markings.
Asphalt Resurfacing or Overlay
When the damage to your asphalt pavement is a little more extensive but doesn’t reach down into the gravel base, an asphalt overlay can be a great option. Overlay or resurfacing requires repairs of potholes or depressions before it can be applied. The existing asphalt surface, once repaired, is cleaned and/or milled, and a thick layer of hot-pour asphalt is applied, essentially creating a new surface.
Asphalt Patching
When pavement damage goes down through the asphalt layer to the gravel sub-base, a surface treatment isn’t enough because the pavement can move and break down further underneath the sealcoat. When there’s structural pavement damage like this, experienced paving contractors will cut out the damaged asphalt and replace it in a process called patching. A sealer or asphalt overlay can then be applied to the entire surface to make the repair seamless.
How Often to Get Asphalt Resurfacing in Southern California
Sealcoating is known to extend pavement life by up to ten years, but it is not a brand new asphalt surface, rather a protective coating. This means that sealcoating can be performed yearly or every two years, depending on how much traffic the parking lot gets. Resurfacing, because it’s a more extensive repair, lasts as long as a regular asphalt surface, so in theory, it would last decades with regular maintenance. This is why asphalt resurfacing is an excellent choice for asphalt pavement that is structurally sound but has extensive surface damage.
