Fair Cost Parking lot Repairs Richmond Virginia
A parking Lot repair needs an on-site inspection before committing to a specific type of fix. Problems could be alligator cracking, potholes, depressions, slippage cracking, reflective cracking, rutting, block cracking, edge cracks and upheaval- these are just a few but all of them have a cause which needs to be addressed to provide a long-lasting repair. Inspection is the first step toward repair. Richmond VA Paving offers a completely free on-site inspection.
The best defense against substandard or unwarranted asphalt repairs of your ailing parking lot is a little foreknowledge. We hope the following information about common asphalt damage will promote a more useful consultation with the asphalt contractors you ask to inspect your parking lot:
Cracks form overtime because of the force produced by a turning or braking motion of cars or trucks. Cracks are also caused by weakness of the gravel subbase beneath the pavement or because of substandard asphalt mix. They can be fixed with hot rubber repair mix or a hot asphalt patching mix and leveled off.
Alligator Cracking is a field of cracking that looks like alligator skin (small oblong boxes connected). It is caused by a failure of the subbase mainly because of water infiltration, old pavement or excessively heavy trucks- garbage trucks can weigh as much as 2000 cars. Alligator crack repair removes the damaged material down to a strong subbase, fix the gravel subbase, application of tack coat and re-pavement with layers of asphalt pavement.
Potholes are the end result of alligator cracking and only worsen with time. Pothole repair will require the removal of the crumbled asphalt down to a stable base, the hole squared off, tack coat applied, hole filled with asphalt mix and finally compaction.

Richmond VA Paving Parking Lot Install or Resurface
Richmond VA Paving does everything from excavating work, building the parking lot and to line striping. We expertly handle drainage installation preventing water puddling in the lot or erosion of the gravel subbase. The main cause of Parking Lot premature failure is inadequate drainage. Our real-world and time tested experience guarantees an error free design, implementation, and worry free performance during the expected lifespan of your Parking Lot- provided you keep up with suggested maintenance.
Resurfacing is a way to restore the flexibility of the parking lot by removing the damaged surface pavement and then repaving with a new layer of asphalt. This is less expensive than fully reconstructing a paved surface and normally takes a lot less time, making it a great option for those facing a tight business budget. However, the areas that now puddle will again puddle since in most cases, the grade cannot be alter by just paving an overlay. This is called “reflective cracking” and to stop it the damaged gravel subbase needs to be repaired. Lifespan for a resurfaced parking lot is 8-10 years- if maintained as problems arise.

Affordable Asphalt Driveway repairs in Richmond VA
Asphalt Driveway Repairs- Asphalt is generally very durable but the driveway is constantly exposed to oxidizing elements rain, frost, UV rays, traffic and chemical spills which overtime wear down and destroy the driveway. Maintenance is the key to extending the lifespan of driveways. Each Asphalt driveway fault has a specific repair recommended by industry specialists not only to correct the broken pavement issue but also its cause. An experienced asphalt contractor looking at an ailing asphalt driveway can tell right away what’s wrong. Some Examples:
Upheaval is caused by something growing in the subgrade (the gravel base under the pavement). Bulging could be caused by a frost heave meaning water has infiltrated the gravel base and froze pushing up the gravel as it turned to ice. Also, the growth of tree roots will push up the pavement. The reason for the upheaval has to be removed before the area can be repaired.
Ponding or Basin Depressions (occasionally called birdbaths) are lower areas that become visible after a rainfall. This could be caused by heavy delivery trucks, water that has invaded the gravel support underneath the pavement or incomplete compaction of asphalt surface during construction. A slight depression repair may only require a surface patch. Deeper depressions require the removal of damaged pavement, repair of the gravel subbase, patching with asphalt and compaction.
Edge Cracks running along the inside edge of a driveway indicates a poor drainage edge design. Lack of support along the edge of the pavement which allows moisture infiltration under the pavement edge or heavy vegetation growth along the edge weakens its subbase. Repair should reconstruct the edge gravel support and then repave.
