Pittsburgh parking lots experience a lot of wear and tear, especially during the winter. The constant freezing and thawing cycles throughout the winter can lead to cracks in your parking lot, which can then turn into larger cracks and holes.
Not only are these cracks and holes unsightly, but they can also pose a tripping hazard to your visitors, customers, and employees resulting in injury and potential legal responsibility.
Sealcoating should be applied at least every three to five years, depending on the parking lot's condition and usage. Heavy traffic or harsh winter weather may require a sealcoat treatment more frequently than this. Parking lots in cold climates, like Pittsburgh, may need to have their sealcoats reapplied annually due to freeze-thaw cycles that can cause early deterioration of the material.
It's essential to inspect a parking lot regularly to identify signs of wear and tear that may require additional sealcoating. Additionally, proper maintenance is essential for prolonging the life of your parking lot's sealcoat. This includes regularly sweeping away dirt and debris, cleaning oil and grease spots, filling in cracks, and repairing potholes.
Sealcoats provide several advantages, including a more attractive appearance, improved efficiency, and better durability. Some of the benefits of sealcoating include:
• Protection from moisture penetration
• Filling in surface cracks to protect against potholes and other structural damage
• Improved skid resistance for increased safety
• Improved durability and longevity of the asphalt
• A more attractive appearance
To ensure your parking lot is safe and looks its best, it’s essential to maintain a regular sealcoat schedule. By following these recommended guidelines, you can help protect your investment.
