Asphalt paving ensures you, your staff, and visitors have a safe space to walk or drive a car. Maintaining your pavement is essential to upholding the integrity and professional appearance of your commercial business. Here are signs your business needs to hire asphalt paving services.

1.Repairs

How many repairs are too many? Constantly repairing cracks and potholes can lead to spending excessive amounts of money from your business overhead. Over time, the constant cost of repairs can add up, equaling the cost of replacement. You may reach a point where replacing your existing pavement becomes the most sensible solution to avoid continuous issues.

2. Accidents

Car accidents don't just happen on a main road. They can also happen right outside your business when you have poorly maintained asphalt pavement. Drivers can easily ruin a tire or swerve into another car because of cracks, potholes, and an uneven surface. People may also suffer from trips and falls when walking on crumbling asphalt. This creates another liability concern that you do not want to be responsible for.

3. Complaints

Pay attention to constant complaints from clients and staff. If they begin complaining to you about the status of your pavement, handle it as soon as possible. You'll have a liability concern if an accident occurs. It's much cheaper to pay for new pavement than a personal injury claim. Damaged asphalt can prevent potential customers from entering your store, making it important to get new pavement as soon as possible.

4. Drainage

Drainage issues can cause major problems in your commercial foundation. When there are drainage issues, it can damage your pavement. According to the National Asphalt Paving Association, asphalt pavement material is a combination of approximately 95% stone, sand, or gravel, bound together by asphalt cement. These materials can be deteriorated by water, causing erosion and damage. If you continue to let water issues damage your pavement, it can continue to creep into your foundation and cause structural issues that impact the safety of your business.

Timely asphalt paving services can keep your commercial business safe and aesthetically pleasing. Prevent trips, falls, accidents, or complaints by having regular maintenance, repairs, or a new pavement installation.
