Parking Lot Maintenance

Asphalt is an outstanding choice for paving parking lots. In fact, over 90% of the parking lots in America are asphalt surfaces. Asphalt pavements offer aesthetic appeal, economical and fast installation, flexibility, safety, and durability. However, your parking lot is still a sizable investment, and you want to ensure that it provides you with true value. The best way to get a long, economical life from your parking lot is through proactive parking lot maintenance in Columbus OH.

What Is Proactive Parking Lot Maintenance?

Proactive parking lot maintenance can be divided into two categories. The first category consists of things that you can do yourself. The second category consists of the professional services that Columbus Line Striping can provide.

What Can I Do Myself to Maintain My Parking Lot?

The first thing to do is to get to know your parking lot. Walk around it periodically to conduct a visual inspection. Note the color of your asphalt, the condition of your pavement markings, the areas that receive the most wear from traffic, and any cracks or other breaks in the surface of the pavement. Look for vegetation that is encroaching on your pavement along the edges, then have it trimmed back. If cars have leaked oil or other fluids, clean the spills to prevent the petrochemicals from softening your asphalt pavement. Remove debris regularly so that it does not leave stains or trap moisture underneath it. Check the grates over your drains to make sure that they are not blocked, and make sure that gutters and drains are clear.

What Professional Parking Lot Maintenance Services Are Offered by Columbus Line Striping?

We recommend the following maintenance services to help you get the most out of your paving investment.

• Asphalt crack sealing is a fast and economical method of preventing water from entering the structure of your pavement. Water infiltration can lead to an eroded foundation that can cause potholes, alligator cracking, and other serious damage.
• Regular sealcoating can frequently increase the life of an asphalt pavement by more than a decade. Sealcoating retards the progress of petrochemicals, blocks ultraviolet radiation, and rejuvenates the color of the pavement to turn it from a faded gray to a rich, dark shade. Depending on the specifics of your parking lot, you will need to sealcoat every two to four years.
• Our parking lot re-striping service helps you make sure that your markings are highly visible, in compliance with the ADA, and aesthetically appealing. You will need to re-stripe after sealcoating, whenever markings have less than 75% of their original visibility, or when the markings have been damaged.
• Parking lot layouts sometimes need to be modified to ensure compliance with local and federal laws related to accessibility or safety. In addition, some people want a new parking lot design so that they can offer more parking spaces, eliminate bottlenecks, or add landscaping or other features.
