Repair Asphalt Curb Ahead of Winter Weather
Completing berm repair ahead of winter weather is a smart move. Why?
- It’s a proactive way to ensure snow, ice and sleet won’t pool, puddle, and pile up at inconvenient areas on your property once the weather turns cold.
- It gets rid of an eyesore: snow pools and puddles in unwanted spots are frustrating for drivers and pedestrians. They hurt your curb appeal to guests, visitors, and potential customers.
- It prevents many of the safety hazards that occur thanks to damaged berm, including cracks and potholes, which only become riskier and harder to mitigate when winter weather starts.
Why is Warm Weather Ideal for Berm Repair?
Aside from taking a solution-oriented approach, planning asphalt projects like curb repair during warmer, milder weather conditions is a great way to ensure you get the best possible results on your paving project.
- It is easier to work hot asphalt, so you have a better chance of getting the smooth texture and finish you want from fresh pavement and curb work.
- Warm temperatures allow correct compaction. When it is allowed to compact to the necessary specs, your curb will be far more durable for a longer stretch of time.
- Hotter weather means warmer asphalt. Getting asphalt warmer allows seams (or joints) to come together more readily, which prevents weak spots from compromising your pavement or curbs.
Do You Need Curb Repair?
Commonly known as a curb, an asphalt berm accomplishes the following as part of your commercial paving project or residential driveway work:
- Sets a boundary to a driveway, parking lot, or other asphalt that provide a direction for runoff
- Prevents water damage and deterioration to existing pavement
Have you noticed the following problems on your home driveway or commercial lot?
- Ponds, pools, streams, or puddles of water forming in unwanted places, or staying around longer than expected after a storm
- Cracks, potholes, and other imperfections cropping up after storms move through town
If so, you’re likely in need of curb repair so runoff can be channeled and drained properly. These repairs keep your property safer, and enhance aesthetics for a better first impression.
