t’s mid-October, and the window for fall paving touch-ups is closing quickly.
If your commercial property requires pavement work before winter, the next few weeks are critical. Here is what should remain on your list.
Crack sealing. Every open crack lets water in. When water freezes and expands, it damages the pavement from within. Mid-Atlantic winters repeat this cycle from December through March. Sealing now prevents this process.
Potholes and patching. Any existing holes will worsen over winter. Water accumulates, freezes, and lifts surrounding material. Plow blades can catch broken edges and cause further damage. Addressing these issues now prevents larger problems in the spring.
Drainage and catch basins. Leaf fall is heavy right now. Clogged basins lead to standing water that can freeze and damage pavement, creating significant safety risks for pedestrians.
Line striping. Faded markings become invisible once snow and plow traffic arrive. Clearly marked fire lanes, accessible stalls, and traffic flow are most important in poor conditions. This is the final opportunity to refresh them.
Sealcoating. This window is closing or may already be closed, depending on the weather. Sealcoating requires temperatures above 50 degrees and enough time to cure. If not completed, plan for spring.
Winter does not create new problems; it worsens existing ones. Completing necessary work now can help you avoid higher spring costs.
