Here at R&R Paving, we know you love enjoying the beautiful Nashville summers. But that summer sun can wreak havoc on your asphalt driveway, especially if it’s already showing signs of wear and tear.
Those small cracks and uneven patches you might not mind now? They can quickly turn into major problems come summertime. Here’s why:
Sun’s Harsh Rays: Asphalt absorbs heat, and Nashville summers are no joke. This intense heat can accelerate the breakdown of the asphalt binder, making it brittle and prone to cracking.
Expansion and Contraction: Extreme temperature fluctuations cause asphalt to expand and contract. Over time, this constant movement can worsen existing cracks and create new ones.
Heavy Traffic and Summer Storms: Summer often means more guests, barbecues, and increased traffic on your driveway. This added weight, combined with potential summer downpours that can seep into cracks, can further damage your already compromised asphalt.
Why Fix It Now?
Ignoring a damaged driveway can be a costly mistake. Here’s why taking action before summer hits is wise:
- Preventative Maintenance Saves Money: A small repair now is far cheaper than a complete driveway replacement later.
- Safety First: Cracked and uneven driveways can pose a tripping hazard and lead to car damage. Addressing the problem before summer gets busy ensures a safer space for you and your guests.
- Curb Appeal Counts: A well-maintained driveway adds value and visual appeal to your property. Don’t let a crumbling driveway be an eyesore!
