5 Signs You Need Road Resurfacing in Hampshire and West Sussex
Car parks, forecourts, and public roads get heavy use, so it’s important that they remain in great condition to ensure the safety of visitors, employees, and users. But how do you know when it’s time to think about road resurfacing? Whether you have a private road, car park, driveway, or walking path in Hampshire and West Sussex, here are some important indicators that you need asphalt repairs.
Cracks
Exposure to the elements can lead to cracks developing in asphalt over time. Although small cracks may not look like an issue, they allow water to seep in, eventually making them deeper and wider.
As soon as you spot cracks appearing in your asphalt, it’s time to call our team to come out for repairs to prevent the problem from becoming much larger and more costly.
Potholes
When cracks in asphalt or tarmac rapidly expand and contract, it leads to potholes. If your car park or path is sat on top of soil, potholes are much more likely to happen. They are a serious safety risk to both pedestrians and drivers, so it’s important to get these professionally patched ASAP.
Pools of Water
Have you noticed water pooling on the surface of your road, driveway, or car park? If the soil or substrate underneath settles unevenly, it can lead to low spots that allow water to pool.
Again, although small puddles may not look like an issue, they will slowly allow water to seep through the asphalt, causing much more serious cracking and potholing.
Puddles in a car park are especially hazardous to pedestrians because they can cause slips and falls.
Warping
If your road surface sees a lot of heavy use from trucks and machinery, you might notice the surface begin to warp over time. Wheels turning on the tarmac leads to intense pressure, which causes this warping.
It can be hard to spot warping, making it a safety concern for pedestrians and drivers alike. Fortunately, it’s usually easy to repair and doesn’t require full road resurfacing.
Faded Lines
In car parks, the lines are important to show drivers which way to go and where to park. If the lines and markings have started fading, it’s time to have some quick repairs carried out.
Not only does having your tarmac repainted make it look much more appealing, but it makes it much easier for guests to navigate.
