Why Do Parking Lots Deteriorate?
Many people assume that parking lot damage and wear occur because of large or heavy commercial transport vehicles and high-volume consumer traffic. Aggregates, asphalt cement and sealants used to create parking lots destabilize and deteriorate for many different reasons.
Although vehicles and repeated use wear away surface paint and sealants and create spot brittleness, cracks and potholes, Ohio weather and other natural factors also have a big impact on the lifespan of commercial parking lots. Extreme heat in summer makes materials soften, expand and warp, and extreme cold in winter makes surfaces contract and crack. Rain and ice, the growth of weeds, trees and other plants, and actions by animals can cause or increase the extent of existing damage.
What Other Factors Influence Lifespan?
A commercial parking lot, no matter the size, can also deteriorate because of poor installation and maintenance. Accidental defects occur at a lower frequency when commercial property owners hire knowledgeable and experienced paving contractors who perform services correctly and follow up with them regularly.
Our industry has specific installation standards that guarantee a longer lifespan. Premature brittleness, cracks and other deterioration can occur if the land under a parking lot hasn’t been appropriately graded in terms of slope and shape for adequate water drainage. The asphalt materials must also be compacted correctly to remove air pockets and improve density and strength enough for the surface to handle heavy equipment, high-volume traffic and acts of nature better.
After the installation of a new lot, maintenance plays a big role in preventing damage as well. A professional commercial paving contractor must regularly inspect and repair the parking lot to fix cracked or warped surfaces and blocked drains. They must also regularly reapply sealants and striped and stenciled paint correctly.
