It is Spring and time to inspect your driveway and parking lots. Do they need sealed, repaired, re-striped or replaced?
When inspecting your asphalt here are the conditions you should look for:
What kind of cracks are there? What is their density and location? How deep and wide are they?
Are there potholes? How deep are they? How frequent are they?
Are there upheavals or concave areas in the parking lot that indicate issues below the surface (as a result of how the parking lot was built originally)?
Are there signs of inadequate or problematic drainage?
What are the conditions of catch basins and surrounding areas?
Are curbs in-tact?
Are concrete areas like sidewalks free of cracks, flaking and broken surfaces?
Are markings visible and meet current standards?
Can the layout of the parking lot be improved to provide more or safer parking spots?
Are there any structural issues around signs or light posts?
Are there issues as a result of prior poor maintenance?
Are any roots of trees undermining the surface?
Are some areas more worn than others and need more intensive repair than the rest of the lot or driveway?
