The lifespan of your commercial asphalt surfaces can vary depending on various factors, including climate, usage, and maintenance practices. Knowing when it’s time to repave your asphalt is crucial to maintaining safety, functionality, and aesthetics. In this blog, we’ll explore the factors that influence the lifespan of commercial asphalt and how Sheedy Paving can assist you in determining when repaving is necessary.

 

Factors Affecting Asphalt Lifespan

 

Several key factors influence the longevity of your commercial asphalt surfaces:

 

  1. Climate:

 

Extreme temperature fluctuations, heavy rain, and snowfall can accelerate wear and tear on asphalt.

 

  1. Traffic Volume:

 

The frequency and weight of vehicles using your asphalt can affect its durability. High traffic areas may require more frequent maintenance.

 

  1. Maintenance Practices:

 

Regular maintenance, such as sealcoating and crack sealing, can extend the lifespan of your asphalt. Neglecting maintenance can lead to premature deterioration.

 

  1. Quality of Installation:

 

Proper installation techniques, including adequate compaction and surface preparation, are essential for asphalt longevity.

 

Signs It’s Time to Repave

 

Determining when it’s time to repave your commercial asphalt involves recognizing specific signs of deterioration:

 

  1. Extensive Cracking:

 

If your asphalt has numerous cracks, especially large ones, it may be time to consider repaving.

 

  1. Potholes:

 

Potholes can be a safety hazard and indicate significant pavement damage that may require repaving.

 

  1. Drainage Issues:

 

Poor drainage can lead to water damage and accelerated deterioration. Repaving may be necessary to address drainage problems.

 

  1. Faded Appearance:

 

Faded and worn asphalt can negatively impact your property’s aesthetics. Repaving can provide a fresh, like-new appearance.

 

  1. Frequent Repairs:

 

If you find yourself frequently repairing the same areas of your asphalt, it may be more cost-effective to repave the entire surface.
