Planning for regular asphalt maintenance transforms an expense into a manageable asset, saving thousands of dollars by significantly extending the life of the existing pavement. Since 1979 Rowles Asphalt has provided detailed site and budget evaluations using the most up to date products and technologies. Rowles Asphalt is one of the largest contractors in the area using modern "Chemical Rejuvenation" for asphalt and concrete. With 30 years experience, Rowles Asphalt has emerged as a leader in the industry.
Despite its appearance asphalt is a porous substance, susceptible to damage by rain, ice, sunlight and chemicals such as fuel oil and gasoline. Left unprotected, an asphalt driveway or parking area will fade, soften and pit (especially where it is exposed to gasoline and motor oil), and eventually crumble, requiring major repair. Rowles Asphalt offers the latest emulsion seal coats (coal tar or special blends), these are surface treatments and should be reapplied every 2-3 years by squeegee or spray application.
A vitally important part of your asphalt pavement maintenance is keeping catch basins clear and in good repair. The proper grade must be maintained to maximize water flow to the drains or swales. One of the reasons we do not recommend overlay patching is that it can dam-up water and cause puddling. This is one of the most important evaluations Rowles Asphalt makes when assessing your property. Deterioration of drainage areas can become a hazard that may result in a liability. Properly designed parking lots should be equipped with an adequate number of catch basins.
Defects occur with age and routine inspections should be conducted with the assistance of a reputable parking lot maintenance contractor. When Rowles Asphalt repairs a drain, we pull the lids, take the drain apart as much as required, rebuild it with new bricks, and concrete it in for a proper long lasting repair. This is not the cheapest approach but this repair will give you the best value for your maintenance dollar.
