Does My Blacktop Driveway Need Repairing?
Here are a few tell-tale signs that your blacktop needs a fix:
- Splintering: A few tiny hairline cracks are normal, but if cracks are widening, connecting into a web, or crumbling at the edges, it’s probably time for a repair.
- Potholes: If you have potholes or depressions in your blacktop, no matter how big or small, then the asphalt is likely very weak in those particular areas.
- Standing Water: Puddles that stick around instead of draining off indicate low spots or poor grading, which can quickly turn into cracks and potholes.
Why Blacktop Driveway Repairs Are Important
When left unaddressed, small cracks and splinters can worsen, causing severe damage to your driveway’s base. Worsening damage is commonly caused by water and moisture that seeps through the cracks, which can lead to deeper deterioration. Blacktop repairs are recommended and sometimes necessary for the following reasons:
Fixing cracks and small potholes early keeps water out of the base, avoiding major structural failure and extensive reconstruction later.
Regular, timely repairs slow down deterioration from weather and traffic. This can help your blacktop last 15 to 20 years or longer.
Cracks and uneven surfaces can cause tripping and falling hazards. With repairs, your blacktop will become smooth and safe to walk on again.
Make a great impression on your neighbors and potential buyers. A smooth, clean-looking blacktop can add value to your home.
