As the winter frost thaws and spring flowers begin to bloom, it’s time to give your asphalt pavement the attention it deserves. Here at Paving Hackensack, we know that proper spring maintenance isn’t just about curb appeal – it’s about protecting your investment and preventing costly repairs down the road.
Why Spring Maintenance Matters
Let’s face it: New Jersey winters can be tough on asphalt. Between the freezing temperatures, salt exposure, and snow plows, your pavement has likely taken quite a beating. Spring is the perfect time to assess any damage and take action before small issues become major headaches.
Your Spring Maintenance Checklist
1. Start With a Thorough Cleaning
First things first – give your pavement a good spring cleaning! Remove all that winter debris, salt residue, and dirt. A clean surface isn’t just about looks – it helps you spot potential problems and ensures any repairs or sealcoating will be effective.
Pro Tip: Use a power washer, but keep the pressure moderate. Too much pressure can actually damage already-weakened asphalt.
2. Conduct a Detailed Inspection
Once your pavement is clean, look for:
- Cracks and fissures
- Potholes (even small ones)
- Areas where water pools
- Faded or oxidized surfaces
- Edge deterioration
3. Address Drainage Issues
Spring showers are great for gardens, but not so much for asphalt. Check that:
- Water properly drains away from your pavement
- Drainage systems are clear of debris
- Low spots aren’t collecting water
4. Crack Sealing is Critical
Found some cracks? Don’t wait! Even small cracks can quickly become bigger problems when spring rains seep in. Professional crack sealing:
- Prevents water damage
- Stops cracks from spreading
- Extends pavement life
- Saves money in the long run
5. Consider Sealcoating
Spring is the ideal time for sealcoating, especially if your pavement is showing signs of wear. A fresh sealcoat:
- Protects against UV damage
- Resists oil and chemical spills
- Restores that fresh, black finish
- Extends pavement life by years
