Major signs your Driveway needs new asphalt

A crumbling and broken driveway asphalt replacement can kill the appeal of a beautiful home whereas a new Driveway in Derry Hempshire can give your home a fresh, updated look.

Though driveway is built to last for a long period of time, but they do need replacements. Here are some signs that will help you recognize when its time!

2. Potholes

Potholes does not only make your driveway look ugly but also presents a safe hazard.

When water seeps into cracks in your asphalt during the winter, it freezes, expands and makes the cracks wider. As this cycle continues, it causes potholes to open.

3. Drainage Issues

When moisture lingers on your asphalt, it can seep between the surface and affect binding agents. Dealing with this issue reduces your risk of potholes, cracks and other damage.

If you’re seeing puddles lingering in your driveway, it’s time for your driveway asphalt to be replaced.

4. Rough Appearance

Sun exposure may cause your driveway to fade in color and gives a rough appearance. This is not solely an aesthetic concern, but a rough driveway is more susceptible to damages.

To improve the durability of your driveway, a complete driveway asphalt replacement might be necessary.

5. Warping

Warped asphalt can occur due to heavy vehicle use. Vehicles exert much pressure on your driveway. This can cause your asphalt to warp.

If this damage is minimal, you may just need a touch up, although more extensive warping will require a complete asphalt replacement.

6. Past Its Prime

If your driveway is past its prime, there is no point in investing in repairing it because it will degrade again over time quickly. Investing in a new driveway, is the only practical solution to all your problems and you will easily get several years from new asphalt.

7. Sinking

When contractors pour asphalt, they put it on top of a compacted or crushed stone base. When this base erodes, your driveway or parking lot can begin to sink, especially in areas near buildings.

You may need to have your gutters repaired, as well as your asphalt.

8. Crumbling Edges

The edges of the parking lot begin to crumble and break apart when the parking lots aren’t protected around their edges with concrete gutters. This asphalt will typically need to be removed and replaced.
