Common Causes of Parking Lot Damage You Should Know

Parking lots can sustain damage from a number of different sources over time. Being outside and subjected to both the elements as well as high-stress use from heavy vehicles and other uses is hard on any asphalt, so there will come a time when your parking lot will need to be fixed. Here are a few of these common damage causes:

• Extreme weather conditions: Temperature fluctuations lead to cracks and potholes as asphalt repeatedly expands and contracts. Moisture from rainfall can infiltrate small cracks and expand upon freezing, exacerbating deterioration. During summer, high temperatures can cause asphalt to soften and deform under the pressure of regular traffic. 
• Chemicals such as oil, gasoline, and road salts can deteriorate the binders in asphalt, making it more vulnerable to warping, crumbling, and cracking under even normal use.
• Heavy loads from large vehicles or long-term storage of heavy objects can damage pavement due to stress, especially in areas where your asphalt is too thin or your substrate is in poor condition. 
• Poor drainage allows water to pool and seep into the substrate, weakening the structural base of your lot and potentially causing cracks, land shifting, and potholes or sinkholes.
• Poor construction with inadequate compaction of the subgrade or incorrect pavement thickness can cause early failure. Neglecting regular maintenance can also accelerate the deterioration of your parking lot.
