Parking Lot Repair
Bishop Hardscape Inc. guarantees that all of your asphalt and concrete needs will be met with a fair price and work completed with superior quality in a timely manner. Asphalt repairs require an entirely different set of responsibilities. Unlike new paving, these jobs are usually performed at ongoing places of business such as malls, shopping centers, or business parks. Public safety and tenant convenience are vitally important. The Bishop team works with you to coordinate your job safely, and in such a way that disruption to your business is minimized.
What are the causes of asphalt deterioration?
Raveling- The heat from direct exposure to sunlight and ultra-violet rays cause the liquid aggregates in the pavement to oxidize and become brittle. The weight of vehicles causes these to crumble at the point of contact between the tires and the pavement. Water then washes away the dry, crumbled aggregates. This process is referred to as “raveling” and continues to diminished pavement thickness and reveals a rough, rocky appearance.
Cracking-Extreme variations in temperature cause the pavement to expand and contract. When the temperatures change as rapidly as they can in Michigan the pavement contracts or expands, thus cracking occurs.
Alligatoring- When it rains or snows, water then enters the crack and overtime, slowly carries away the base of the sub-grade. This causes unstable, unsupported pavement. The weight of vehicles, freeze and thaw cycles, and frost heave can cause the pavement to crack, which is referred to as “alligatoring”.
Pothole- Alligatoring will spread through the pavement like cancer, breaking into even smaller pieces and eventually form a pothole. Left un-repaired, the costs increase over time. Immediate response is highly recommended.
