How can I prevent asphalt failure?
Nothing lasts forever, including asphalt. The average lifespan of an asphalt driveway is approximately 12 to 20 years. Still, you can maximize the life of your asphalt and prevent sudden, catastrophic failure, by taking a few simple precautions:
- Sealcoat new asphalt within six months, and reseal every 2 to 3 years
- Inspect for cracks every few months and patch them right away
- Have low spots leveled off before cracks develop
- Minimize irrigation run-off and other sources of potential water intrusion
- Shovel or plow snow regularly
- Work with your asphalt expert to create an asphalt maintenance plan designed for your needs and budget
