<p>Standing puddles on asphalt pavement can be concerning, especially if it&#8217;s winter and it could turn into ice, or if it is summer and it could become a mosquito breeding ground. Standing water can become visible on new and old pavement alike; let&#8217;s take a look at these six causes of standing puddles on asphalt. If you need <a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/get-professional-asphalt-driveway-maintenance/">asphalt maintenance</a>, Tri-State Paving is here to help!</p>
<p><span id="more-972"></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">1. Ruts, Depressions, and Potholes</span></h2>
<p>Older pavement that has gotten a lot of heavy traffic over the years can develop ruts and depressions where tires have often tread. Older asphalt might also develop potholes, which start as cavities or <a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/roads-crack/">cracks</a> and break open. Patching can fix these isolated problems.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">2. Incorrect Grading</span></h2>
<p>Asphalt pavement must be sloped (graded) so that stormwater runoff will flow away from buildings toward the closest storm drainage system. If the contractor graded the pavement incorrectly, standing puddles can form. The installation will need to be fixed.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">3. Groundwater Penetration</span></h2>
<p>Not all <a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/5-things-can-damage-asphalt-driveway/">moisture problems</a> come from the clouds. Groundwater can cause problems for asphalt pavement, penetrating through the foundation and sublayers and causing the top layer to sink. As a result, rain can pool in the depression. The pavement will need replacing from the foundation up.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">4. Soil Settling</span></h2>
<p>If the soil settles enough and the foundation was not installed properly, the entire pavement can shift and crack, allowing water to pool on top of it. The entire installation will need to be redone.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">5. Clogged Storm Drains</span></h2>
<p>The standing water might not have to do with the asphalt pavement at all. If the floodwater is connected to a storm drain, a clogged storm drain could be to blame. Some people can unclog the drains themselves, but if you are unsure or you see moving flood waters, it&#8217;s best to stay away.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">6. Incomplete Curing</span></h2>
<p>Not all standing puddles on asphalt are problematic. If the asphalt is new, the surface tension with its oils and binders causes rainwater to lightly pool on the surface for the first few months at longest.</p>

<p>Maryland weather fluctuates wildly; sometimes, it feels like we have missed spring altogether when summer begins due to the flips between hot and cold spells. Even so, nature continues to run through its course, with flowers blooming in their order and weeds cropping up where they aren&#8217;t welcome. Is your concrete or asphalt driveway one of those places? Here&#8217;s how to get rid of grass growing in the driveway.</p>
<p><span id="more-969"></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ways to Get Rid of Grass Growing in the Driveway</span></h2>
<h3>Boiling Water</h3>
<p>Whether you&#8217;re dealing with weeds, grass, or both growing in your pavement, you can swiftly deal them a fatal blow with boiling water. Piping hot water can be enough to wipe out the life of small plants like grass and weeds.</p>
<h3>White Vinegar Spray</h3>
<p>Another powerful solution for killing weeds and grass is white vinegar. White vinegar is a bargain household cleaning product, especially for mold and mildew removal. It can kill plants, too. You could spray pure white vinegar or a white vinegar and dish soap solution onto the target area and watch it become clear.</p>
<h3>Weed Killer</h3>
<p>Of course, an over-the-counter weed killer could also do the trick. It may be possible to find environmentally safe options that address any poisonous effects that traditional weed killers can have on the landscape.</p>
<h3>Manual Pulling</h3>
<p>It may be possible to uproot weeds and grass from pavement cracks by hand. After all, getting rid of the root will get rid of the problem once and for all. If you cannot also remove the root with the stems, then an additional option might come in handy.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fixing the Issue at Its Root</span></h2>
<h3>Crack Filling or Pavement Repair</h3>
<p>Once you have removed the pesky plant as much as possible, it&#8217;s time to consider how you can prevent seeds from germinating in your pavement to begin with. Weeds and grass growing in pavement usually indicate damaged pavement, which could call for<a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/professional-asphalt-crack-filling-worth/">pavement crack filling</a> or more extensive repairs.</p>
<h3>Sealcoating for Asphalt</h3>
<p>You can further protect your asphalt pavement from deteriorating by sealcoating it every few years. This protective layer keeps dirt,<a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/remove-oil-stains-asphalt-driveway/">debris</a>, and<a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/marylands-freeze-thaw-cycle-impacts-asphalt-pavement/">moisture</a> from seeping into the sublayers.</p>

<p>If you have driven on roads that aren&#8217;t well-maintained, you understand how treacherous it can be, let alone unpleasant. Bumpy roads can threaten your vehicle&#8217;s condition and your safety. In contrast, if you have driven on a smooth road that was recently sealcoated, you can truly<a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/road-conditions-affect-communities/">feel the difference</a>. It is smooth sailing. Infrared asphalt repairs are one kind of asphalt repair method that has numerous applications. What are the pros and cons of infrared asphalt repair?<span id="more-960"></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">What Is Infrared Asphalt Repair?</span></h2>
<p>Infrared asphalt repair is the use of infrared heat to soften existing asphalt to rework and repair the damaged surface. This type of repair method is perfect for surface-level problems like ruts,<a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/roads-crack/">cracks</a>, and shallow potholes. The repairs can rework the existing material alone or add new asphalt mix that will bond seamlessly with the existing pavement. Other applications for infrared heating on asphalt include installing speed bumps, rumble strips, and textured surfaces.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pros of Infrared Asphalt Repair</span></h2>
<ul>
<li>Short timeframe: Infrared asphalt repairs take a short time to complete. They also limit downtime for roads,<a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/get-professional-asphalt-driveway-maintenance/">driveways</a>, and lots, as you can begin to drive over the patches almost immediately.</li>
<li>Reduced need for new materials: Infrared repairs limit the need for new materials. Depending on the project, an asphalt contractor can work with only the existing asphalt or use recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) to patch the rut or pothole.</li>
<li>Seamless bonding: One of the greatest benefits of infrared asphalt repairs is that it creates a waterproof seal between the old and new asphalt. When the job is done right, there will be no way at all for water to seep into the surface and begin deterioration again.</li>
<li>No accidental burning: The deep heat penetration of infrared asphalt repairs eliminates the danger of accidentally burning the asphalt surface.</li>
<li>Cost-effective: The simple process and limited material usage make infrared asphalt repairs quite cost-efficient compared to traditional asphalt repair methods. These repairs can last up to five years on average.</li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cons of Infrared Asphalt Repair</span></h2>
<ul>
<li>Only treats surface-level issues: This repair method is limited to mainly surface-level projects.</li>
<li>Not fit for extensive surface damage: Even at the surface level, it is better to replace the entire top layer than use infrared repairs.</li>
</ul>

<p>You might have heard of jackhammering, a very noisy, dusty, and disruptive way to demolish or break through concrete. Now, you&#8217;ve heard of slab jacking. In the concrete industry, this option allows contractors to create a minimal disturbance to the landscape while making concrete slabs as good as new. What is slab jacking? Tri-State Paving has the answer.</p>
<p><span id="more-955"></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">What Is Slab Jacking?</span></h2>
<p>Slab jacking addresses the problem of sunken concrete slabs. These concrete slabs may have faltered due to soil erosion, soil shifting, or compaction beneath them. The slab itself is <a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/causes-concrete-crack/">not damaged</a>, but it is no longer level and needs to be stabilized once again. Instead of destroying the slab and replacing it with a new one, slab jacking is the process of redoing the foundation and raising the affected concrete slab in place.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">How Does Slab Jacking Work?</span></h2>
<p>Slab jacking consists of several methodical steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Create a hole in the concrete slab: The concrete contractor will drill a hole through the concrete, which creates access to the foundational gaps below it.</li>
<li>Fill the foundation with new materials: The contractor will then inject a foundational material through the slab&#8217;s new hole that will slowly raise the slab back into place and stabilize its foundation. This material could be a concrete slurry, polyurethane foam, or a mud mixture.</li>
<li>Leveling the slab: Now it&#8217;s time to ensure that the slab is level once again.</li>
<li>Patch the hole: The contractor will fill the hole made in the concrete slab so that it is as good as new.</li>
</ol>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Best Application for Slab Jacking</span></h2>
<p>Slab jacking works best for isolated cases, not whole foundations for homes and businesses. Applications for slab jacking include settled or sunken slabs of sidewalks, portions of foundations, <a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/stamped-concrete-vs-stamped-asphalt/">driveways</a>, <a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/stamped-concrete-patio-ideas/">patios</a>, and pool decks, among other pavements.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Benefits of Slab Jacking</span></h2>
<p>Slab jacking is a cost-effective way to use minimal materials to restore partial foundational damage to concrete structures. There is no need to use new concrete for new slabs, so you reduce the cost. It is also a quicker way to repair the structure, taking as little as thirty minutes. Best of all, it works well.</p>

<p>Road contractors have to make a decision whether to complete work in the daytime or at night. Their jobs do not take place in secluded offices; they are in the middle of public transportation, which means they need to take safety measures to manage oncoming road traffic. It is a risky business, but when done well, it all goes smoothly. Timing can play a role in a project&#8217;s success. Below, we&#8217;ll take a look at the pros and cons of daytime vs. nighttime road work.</p>
<p><span id="more-953"></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pros and Cons of Daytime Road Work</span></h2>
<h3>Pros</h3>
<p>Is daytime the best time for <a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/asphalt-paving-process/">road paving</a>, <a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/schedule-spring-asphalt-maintenance/">maintenance</a>, and <a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/often-get-asphalt-crack-filling-service/">repair work</a>? In broad daylight, you have the greatest visibility, especially in pleasant weather, which increases safety levels for everyone involved and potentially productivity for road workers.</p>
<p>Road workers also benefit from working in daytime hours, not having to sacrifice sleeping hours for work. In spring through fall, daylight hours are long, giving road workers more time to complete the work each day and possibly shortening the project time frame.</p>
<p>Traffic patterns can be predictable in the daytime; it&#8217;s possible to know the general highs and lows of traffic along a particular route and manage traffic accordingly.</p>
<h3>Cons</h3>
<p>The downside is that there is usually much more traffic during the day than at night, which could lead to riskier working and driving conditions. It could also cause significant traffic delays, and usually does. Proper road safety measures help the traffic move smoothly regardless.</p>
<p>The other con is that summer heat can cause heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Workers must prepare and manage their health on the job site through hydration, diet, and PPE.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pros and Cons of Nighttime Road Work</span></h2>
<h3>Pros</h3>
<p>Nighttime road work benefits from the lighter road traffic. There are fewer vehicles to direct, and vehicles have a greater chance of taking care of the road work signs and sites.</p>
<p>Road workers can also be very productive with the right lighting equipment and long working hours. Projects can move along just as quickly at night as in the daytime.</p>
<p>While summer nights can also be very hot, they are always cooler than daytime weather. Road workers are less likely to run into a heat advisory at night, and work can continue as usual.</p>
<h3>Cons</h3>
<p>Drivers can be <a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/road-work-safety-tips-drivers/">more reckless</a> at night, and so there remains some risk of nighttime road work. Visibility remains an issue that lighting must compensate for. With the right preparations, though, these cons are non-issues.</p>

<p>Our roads, streets, parking lots, and even driveways are rudimentary aspects of life, but their condition makes a huge impression on us visually and experientially. Municipalities are generally in control of their own roads, the state is in control of highways, and businesses are in control of their commercial properties. How do road conditions affect communities? The difference between a good road and a bad road can be monumental.</p>
<p><span id="more-950"></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Community Perception and Pride</span></h2>
<p>When you enter a state, a city, a neighborhood, or any other area with poor road conditions, you likely feel as if you have entered a very rundown place on the whole. The condition of an area&#8217;s roads says a lot about how well the area is thriving. As for the residents, if the roads are full of potholes and cracks, they can lose pride in their hometown. When roads are well-maintained, everyone&#8217;s perception of the place is much better.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Emergency Response</span></h2>
<p>Poor road conditions make it harder for travel to happen at all. The worst implication is that emergency response teams will have a harder time reaching people who need help due to medical, house fire, or crime reasons. The broken, bumpy roads will put a lot of wear and tear on the vehicles and potentially make <a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/flood-prevention-road-construction/">navigation harder</a> than it should be.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Accident Reduction</span></h2>
<p><a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/roads-crack/">Bumpy roads</a> can cause vehicle wheels to get out of alignment, and faded pavement markings can cause massive confusion, leading to collisions. Well-maintained roads really do prevent car accidents, which would profit car repair and sales companies, but not the general population.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Safety and Mobility for All</span></h2>
<p>Well-planned and maintained roads<a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/maintained-roads-promote-safety/">create safety</a> for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians–practically anyone who might need to travel from their home, which is everyone. Sidewalks and crosswalks for pedestrians, and bike lanes for cyclists, can also foster a more physically active community that doesn&#8217;t always need a car to travel locally.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Economic Wellbeing</span></h2>
<p>Well-maintained roads help residents and visitors save significantly on vehicle repairs and possibly energy. The area can preserve its wealth, feel safer, and live happier.</p>

We answer that here.</p></div>
<p>Asphalt roads seem to stand the test of time; they are merely a part of the landscape. The same asphalt road might have been outside your home for as long as you can remember and long before that, and that could span multiple decades. Roads never seem to go bad, but they do. Asphalt cracks are the first sign of wear and tear. Why do roads crack?</p>
<p><span id="more-948"></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oxidation</span></h2>
<p>Believe it or not, but the UV rays from sunlight cause the asphalt surface to become brittle and break down little by little over time. It is why newly paved blacktops turn a pale, crackly gray over time. When the surface breaks down, cracks can form.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Temperature Fluctuations</span></h2>
<p>Asphalt pavements can experience thermal stress when temperatures fluctuate. When temperatures rise and fall, asphalt roads can expand and contract incrementally. As the pavement does this repeatedly, cracks can form on the surface as the asphalt breaks down.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Heavy Traffic</span></h2>
<p>Asphalt roads are meant for transportation. Over time, they will naturally wear down because of the many loads of traffic they endure every day. Even rural roads will break down eventually after many vehicles have passed over them.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Moisture Damage</span></h2>
<p>When even the tiniest asphalt cracks form, water can seep into those crevices and remain there. If the weather is cold, they can end up freezing, thawing, and repeating until it evaporates in warmer air. As the water goes through the<a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/marylands-freeze-thaw-cycle-impacts-asphalt-pavement/">freeze-thaw cycle</a>, it can cause existing asphalt cracks to expand.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Road Salt</span></h2>
<p><a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/best-way-de-ice-asphalt/">Road salt</a> is cheap and effective at keeping ice from sticking to roads and preventing accidents, but it can take a toll on asphalt roads as well. Road salt dehydrates anything moist, which means it can remove any moisture from the bitumen holding the gravel and aggregates together.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Installation &amp; Maintenance</span></h2>
<p>Asphalt cracks might also have to do with improper road installation or negligent maintenance. Asphalt roads must be able to hold up to the expected road traffic and any environmental risks, as well as keep up with<a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/schedule-asphalt-repairs-spring/">routine maintenance</a> to prevent small cracks from becoming larger problems.</p>

<p>Asphalt is the tried and true paving material for parking lots, highways, neighborhood streets, and residential driveways throughout the United States. This affordable, quick-setting paving material is a great option for many projects, large and small, but it does need maintenance over time. Sun exposure causes oxidation, which makes it brittle and prone to cracking over time. Asphalt pavements usually last for decades, but professional maintenance helps them last even longer. How often should you get an asphalt crack-filling service?</p>
<p><span id="more-943"></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">How Well Was the Asphalt Installed?</span></h2>
<p>First of all, how well was the asphalt installed? Was it installed professionally, and were there any mistakes in the paving process? If so, you might end up needing asphalt crack repairs more quickly than not. If the mistake was severe enough, you may need to replace the pavement or a part of it altogether.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">How Much Traffic Does the Pavement Get?</span></h2>
<p>How much heavy traffic does the pavement get on average throughout the year? If it is a main highway, it will likely get lots of traffic and more or less on certain days of the week or occasions. If it is a residential driveway, it could get more or less traffic depending on what kind of vehicles you have and how often you invite people over. Highways are built even stronger than<a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/5-things-can-damage-asphalt-driveway/">residential driveways</a>, but the traffic load still affects how frequently the pavement will need repairs.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">What Kind of Climate Are You In?</span></h2>
<p>Your climate can also impact how long your pavement lasts. For example, asphalt that weathers extreme temperatures, rapid<a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/marylands-freeze-thaw-cycle-impacts-asphalt-pavement/">freeze-thaw cycles</a>, and harsh weather will be more likely to wear out than pavements in temperate climates.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">How Severe Is the Risk of Water Damage?</span></h2>
<p>If you pave in a flood zone, the asphalt contractor will need to design a road or another pavement that will not flood. You may need to place a culvert under it. If the risk of flood damage is worse, the risk of the pavement getting washed out is higher, especially if the design doesn&#8217;t account for that.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Does the Asphalt Show Signs of Damage?</span></h2>
<p>Do you manage a pavement that could need asphalt crack repairs? Does it have visible signs of damage, such as asphalt cracks, potholes, and raveling? If so, now is the time to contact an asphalt contractor like Tri-State Paving to<a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/schedule-asphalt-repairs-spring/">fortify the pavement as soon as possible</a>.</p>

<p>Traditional asphalt paving cannot take place in winter unless the contractors warm up the paving area first and insulate the new pavement afterward. The ambient temperature for successful asphalt paving and maintenance is a minimum of 50 degrees Fahrenheit. When spring comes, asphalt season begins.</p>
<h3>Milder Weather</h3>
<p>While many asphalt projects happen in summer, spring and fall offer the benefit of milder temperatures. Workers are less likely to risk heat exhaustion, especially when you consider Maryland&#8217;s most humid summer weeks.</p>
<h3>Preparation for Heavier Traffic</h3>
<p>If certain roads or lots don&#8217;t see much traffic in the winter, but traffic picks up in spring and summer, then spring is a great time to take care of asphalt pavement repairs and maintenance. There are ways to work on pavements while drivers come and go, but it will minimize or slow down traffic temporarily.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Types of Asphalt Maintenance Services</span></h2>
<h3>Asphalt Crack and Pothole Filling</h3>
<p>Asphalt cracks and potholes form over time due to natural oxidation, old age, and <a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/marylands-freeze-thaw-cycle-impacts-asphalt-pavement/">water infiltration</a>. The longer the cracks and potholes remain, the bigger they will get, and the more unusable the pavement will become, aside from serving as drinking holes for birds. Tri-State Paving can perform asphalt crack filling and pothole repairs to keep the pavement <a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/maintained-roads-promote-safety/">safe for travelers</a>.</p>
<h3>Asphalt Sealcoating</h3>
<p>Asphalt sealcoating is layering a thin coat of bitumen, the black substance that holds aggregates in asphalt together, over the pavement&#8217;s surface to make it as good as new. The result is a very smooth blacktop.</p>
<h3>Asphalt Resurfacing</h3>
<p>Asphalt resurfacing is the removal of the entire top layer and replacing it. This service is best for pavements with extensive surface damage.</p>

<p>Anyone who needs to manage their pavement, whether it is a residential driveway, public highway, or office parking lot, needs an asphalt contractor they can trust. Not only that, but it is important to have a <a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/budgeting-asphalt-maintenance/">budget</a> and schedule to keep up with professional maintenance. For parking lots, upkeep is critical. Let&#8217;s explore the real ROI of professional parking lot maintenance.</p>
<p><span id="more-938"></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your Parking Lot Maintenance&#8217;s Return on Investment</span></h2>
<h3>Tenant and Visitor Trust</h3>
<p>When passersby see a commercial area with well-paved streets and parking lots, they will naturally think better of the area. They will perceive it as safer, more well-to-do, and promising of great services. Well-maintained properties establish trust for anyone visiting, whether potential tenants or retail customers. Professional parking lot maintenance shows you are putting your best foot forward for your guests.</p>
<h3>Increased Customer Traffic (for Retail)</h3>
<p>With a great first impression on all counts, including parking lot maintenance, the word will spread about the quality of the area and its services (if you rent out spaces to screened tenants,) and more people will want to do business there.</p>
<h3>Safe and Happy Visitors</h3>
<p>Well-maintained pavement creates a <a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/parking-lot-maintenance-improves-safety/">safe environment</a> for all visitors. Cracks and potholes in the pavement can cause pedestrians to trip and vehicles to suffer damage. Worn-out parking lots will also have faded traffic and ADA-compliant markings, which can be confusing. Routine <a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/professional-asphalt-crack-filling-worth/">asphalt crack filling</a> and <a href="https://www.tristatepavinginc.com/blog/asphalt-sealcoating-2/">sealcoating</a> can avoid these issues.</p>
<h3>Optimal Property Value</h3>
<p>A property that&#8217;s in great condition is a high-value property according to its kind. No matter how large or small the establishment, your premises will maintain their optimal value when you are able to keep them pristine or renovate them to their best condition.</p>
<h3>Reduced Repair Costs</h3>
<p>Putting off professional pavement maintenance will save the business a lot of money directly. The more you neglect standard pavement care, the bigger small pavement problems can become, leading to more expensive repairs that could cause you to lose business temporarily.</p>
