We had a reoccurring problem in our warehouse parking lot due to excessive truck traffic. We called upon the professionals at American Asphalt to help solve our problems. They presented several solutions and explained the pros and cons of each. When it was time to do the job, the scheduling department communicated very well and helped with the coordination of working around our tenants’ schedules. We could not have been more pleased with the results. Thanks to the team at American Asphalt.

What Does Emergency Asphalt Repair Entail?
American Asphalt’s professionals are prepared to take on tough asphalt paving jobs to help keep their customers happy. Sometimes these jobs involve creating a dedicated parking area, which requires planning and thorough communication to make sure everything comes out just right. Other times these jobs are emergency repairs, which require quick action and the ability to handle the customer’s needs right away.
There are several different issues that could arise, and the following are some quick fixes our professionals might perform:
Crack Repairs
Asphalt is made to last, but eventually, the rigors of the environment and vehicles consistently sitting and driving on it can create cracks. This is especially true for locations in New Jersey, which must put up with cold temperatures and freezing in the winter months. As cold temperatures freeze water, it begins to swell and can further expand any existing cracks. Professionals will thoroughly clean the area and then use crack filler and specialized machinery and tools to quickly repair any cracks in your asphalt. Taking care of cracks not only helps keep your space usable but also helps prevent future cracks.
Patching
In some cases, patching may be the best option. This is a relatively affordable repair that can be used to fix a variety of issues. There are several different patching techniques that experts can employ. Hot mix asphalt and cold patch asphalt are two popular options, but professionals can provide either long-lasting repairs or temporary fixes, which may be a smart choice if you need repaving soon.
Pothole Repairs
Potholes are an eyesore for any home or business, so it makes sense that specialists are often called in to take care of them right away. Potholes are prone to forming during the winter-spring freeze-thaw cycle. The repair process involves clearing out the area and filling the hole with new asphalt. They may decide to apply a waterproofing coating to protect against future cracking. Lastly, a topcoat of liquid asphalt may be applied and smoothed.
Why Is It So Important to Get Asphalt Repaired?
The main reason repairs are necessary is that unaddressed damage in parking lots could result in injury or damage to vehicles. As the owner, you may be liable. The last thing a business needs is a customer getting injured on their property.
Repairing parking lot damages also helps you make a better first impression and increases your building’s curb appeal, making customers more likely to swing by. This will also help increase the overall value of your property.
It’s also a smart idea to get cracks and holes fixed right away because the longer you wait to do something, the more unstable the asphalt surrounding the damaged areas will become. This could result in larger issues and render full areas of your parking lot unusable. A single day spent without enough parking areas could mean the loss of a lot of business.
Signs You Should Turn to Our Professionals
There are certain things you can keep an eye out for to help get problems dealt with before they become emergencies. Alligator cracks are shallow cracks in the surface that look like an alligator’s skin, and their presence means you should consider asphalt repaving. You should also keep an eye out for puddles because they are a sure sign of poor drainage. Buckling and warping of the pavement is common over time, especially in heavily trafficked areas. It’s also helpful to note any fading in your pavement because sunlight and consistent use can cause asphalt to wear more quickly, leaving it more susceptible to damage.
