Asphalt Maintenance I Wichita, Kansas

Lafarge offers services that can extend the life of your lot substantially- possibly up to 10 years. It’s the idea that if you spend a penny today, you’ll save a dollar tomorrow. A parking lot is projected to have around a 15 year service life without major maintenance.

Without a preventative maintenance program, the pavement loses approximately 40% of its surface integrity during the first 7 1/2 years of life. It takes only 12-18 months longer to deteriorate an equal amount! Most importantly, at that point, it can cost approximately 4 to 5 times as much to restore the pavement than it would have if treated earlier. How does routine maintenance translate into such substantial savings?


		Sure, cracks are unsightly- but they do more than damage your professional image as a business. Cracks can be a sign of bigger problems happening underground. Cracks frequently begin to appear within the first year of a lot’s lifetime. It is important to start sealing cracks the first year that they appear and evaluate the lot on an annual basis.


		By adding protective coatings of a specially formulated coal tar or asphalt emulsion sealer, you can prolong the life of an asphalt lot. This process is beneficial because, in addition to preserving your lot, the strong black color will make your business look exceptional. Seal coat is recommended within the first 3 years after a new lot is built. Then reseal every 3-5 years.


		If cracks are left unattended, they can create more serious problems such as potholes. Potholes are created when moisture seeps into the pavement, freezing, expanding, and then thawing. This weakens the pavement. Traffic loosens the pavement even more, and it eventually crumbles and pops out, so it is important to address potholes as early as possible.


		This is the process of adding 1”-2” of new asphalt over a severely damaged lot. The damage must be repaired before the overlay can be placed.
