Concrete and asphalt are two of the most popular construction materials, both favored for their strength and durability. Both are commonplace in the world of parking lots, but require different maintenance and repair services. From rental properties to commercial buildings , concrete is put to use in a variety of ways on many buildings and structures. While concrete is an extremely durable construction material, it requires regular inspection and maintenance.
And with this tough material, location, use and traffic all impact the service needs of the project. If your sidewalk has cracks or looks dingy, crack filling, power washing, and a protective coating can prevent future damage, and will immediately improve appearance.
Parking Garages: Your parking garage may look invincible, but heavy loads and exposure to water, road salt, and oil and gas leaks can all undermine its structural integrity over time.
Cracks, chipping, and erosion can all be signs of more significant damage, so we recommend having your parking garage inspected every 2 years. Depending on the extent of the damage, necessary services can include waterproofing, post tension repairs, expansion joint replacement, or even removal and replacement.
Curbs, Borders and Edging : Even if your sidewalks, roadways and parking lots are in pristine condition, corroded curbs can shorten the lifecycle of the pavement. Cracked and crumbling curbs not only look unattractive, they allow water penetration that can cause significant damage over time to surrounding pavement. Waterproofing existing curbs, and replacing damaged sections, will protect the life of your pavement long term. Concrete Entryways: An entryway is the face of your business, and how it looks can say a lot about you.
