How to Fix a Crack in Your Parking Lot

March 12, 20243 min read

How to Fix a Crack in Your Parking Lot

Have you ever walked through a parking lot and stumbled over a crack? Not only are these cracks unsightly, but they can also pose safety hazards and damage the vehicles that park on them.

Luckily, fixing a crack in a parking lot isn't as daunting as it might seem. Check out this easy-to-follow guide on how to repair these cracks.

As always, if you need some help with this process, just fill out our form here.

Understanding the Importance of Crack Repair

Before we dive into the how-to, let's discuss why it's crucial to address cracks promptly.

Cracks in asphalt or concrete surfaces allow water to seep through, weakening the sub-base.

Over time, this can lead to more significant issues such as potholes, which are more challenging and expensive to repair. Regular asphalt maintenance and timely repairs can extend the lifespan of your parking lot and save you money in the long run.

Materials You'll Need for a Quick Fix:

To repair a crack in your parking lot, you'll need the following materials:

  • Cleaning brush or blower

  • Crack filler or sealant

  • Trowel or applicator tool

These materials are readily available at most hardware stores, making it easy for you to get started on your repair project.

Step-by-Step Guide to Repairing Cracks:

  1. Clean the Crack: Begin by removing any debris, dirt, or vegetation from the crack using a brush or blower. This ensures the filler adheres properly.

  2. Choose the Right Filler: For smaller cracks, a rubberized asphalt-emulsion crack filler works well. For larger cracks, you might need a more robust filler or patching compound.

  3. Fill the Crack: Using your chosen filler and applicator tool, fill the crack according to the product instructions. Be sure to overfill slightly, as the filler will settle and compact.

  4. Smooth It Out: Use a trowel to smooth out the filler, ensuring it's level with the surrounding surface.

  5. Let It Dry: ***VERY IMPORTANT*** Allow the filler to dry completely. This might take a few hours to a day, depending on the product and weather conditions. If this is a public parking lot, make sure the area is blocked off until the filler is cured. We've heard horror stories of customers driving over someone's DIY repair and taking the entire filling with them, damaging both their car and the repair.

When to Call the Professionals at Pavemar Paving

While many small cracks can be easily repaired using the steps above, larger or more complex issues may require professional intervention. If your parking lot has extensive damage, like alligator cracks, it's time to call the experts at Pavemar Paving. Our team specializes in commercial and residential asphalt services, ensuring your parking lot remains in top condition. With a focus on quality and durability, we offer solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Fixing a crack in your parking lot doesn't have to be complicated. By following these simple steps, you can maintain a safe and appealing parking area for everyone to enjoy.

WHY CHOOSE ASPHALT DRIVEWAYS? 

Asphalt is a popular choice among homeowners for driveways due to its durability and cost-effectiveness. Many companies use recycled asphalt for the base layer, which is environmentally friendly and more affordable than fresh asphalt. These factors make asphalt the ideal material for your driveway.

SEAMLESS FINISH

You don’t need to worry about compromising the aesthetic appeal of your property as asphalt gives a seamless finish.

DURABLE

Asphalt is known to withstand harsh weather conditions and natural elements better than other materials and is less likely to get damaged easily.

EASY TO MAINTAIN

It is an easy-to-manage option as it requires little maintenance and stays intact for extended periods.

COST-EFFECTIVE

This is one of the primary reasons why asphalt is a preferred choice among homeowners. 

FLEXIBLE

Asphalt is more flexible than concrete, making it less vulnerable to significant cracking.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

SHOULD I OPT FOR AN ASPHALT OVERLAY?

"Asphalt overlay" or "Resurfacing" refers to paving asphalt on top of existing asphalt. It is generally done after comprehensively examining your current asphalt pavement for cracks, faults, or problem areas. If your pavement is in good condition, the top layer is removed for improved grip and a fresh layer of asphalt is laid on top. Sealing may be ideal if your existing asphalt is in good shape but needs renewal.

WHICH IS BETTER, A COLD MIX OR A HOT MIX?

Cold mix asphalt is typically used in the off-season or for minor repairs. We employ hot mix asphalt most of the season for optimal results.

DO I TREAT MY RECENTLY FINISHED ASPHALT PAVEMENT?

Asphalt aftercare requires you not to use or drive over it for 24-48 hours. The duration is longer for hotter seasons. It should be followed with the standard regular seal coating and resurfacing maintenance.

WHAT IS THE EXPECTED LIFESPAN OF A NEW ASPHALT DRIVEWAY?

A homeowner can expect the driveway to last 30 years or longer if they use good products. Many projects can survive 40 to 50 years if properly maintained. Regular maintenance and vigilant care of your pavement or parking lot can considerably extend your property's life.
