Even if your asphalt has been laid down by an expert, it can still develop issues from time to time. The sooner these issues are addressed, the easier they will be to deal with. You might be able to prevent some of these issues from developing if you invest in routine maintenance. At Bennett Paving, we work hard to prevent issues from developing with your pavement, but we are always available if you have acute concerns. Take a look at some of the most common issues people with their asphalt, and let us help you.
Bird Baths
One of the most common problems people have with their asphalt is the development of bird baths. Even though they might sound cute, they are anything but that. Bird baths develop due to depressions in the asphalt. They develop because of issues with the foundation. Then, when the depressions develop, moisture starts to pool in the divot, leading to major issues. The surface might have to be removed and patched, so make sure you reach out to a team that can help you as quickly as possible.
Alligator Cracks
Another problem that you might notice with your asphalt is called alligator cracking. This is an issue that gets its name from its appearance. When the cracks intersect with each other, they look like alligator teeth. This can be caused by structural concerns with the asphalt. For example, poor drainage could cause moisture to pool underneath the pavement, which eventually leads to crcacking on the surface. The asphalt might need a complete overhaul to address this issue.
Pot Holes
There is a good chance that you are already very familiar with this issue, as many of the streets in the local area suffer from potholes. They indicate that there is damage all the way down to the base of the asphalt, which means that this is a major structural issue that has to be addressed. It cannot be solved by simply throwing pavement on top of the hole, as it will simply crack again. It needs a comprehensive solution that has been put in place by a team that has experience dealing with this issue. By laying a strong foundation, it is possible to prevent potholes from coming back. That is where the team from Bennett Paving can help you.
