Question 1

Why is prompt crack filling critical for commercial parking lots?

Accepted Answer

Cracks allow water, debris, and chemicals to penetrate the asphalt base, accelerating deterioration and leading to costly potholes or full pavement failure. Professional crack filling with premium hot or cold materials creates a waterproof seal that prevents further damage and extends the overall life of your parking lot. For businesses and institutions with high traffic, addressing cracks early minimizes safety risks and maintains a professional appearance.

Question 2

How do professional patch repairs differ from temporary fixes for commercial properties?

Accepted Answer

Temporary DIY or low-quality patches often fail quickly under heavy vehicle loads, while our cold or hot patch repairs use durable, compacted asphalt mixes designed for long-term performance. We properly prepare the area by removing damaged material and ensuring strong adhesion, resulting in a smooth, level surface that withstands commercial traffic and weather extremes. This approach reduces ongoing maintenance needs and helps property managers avoid frequent callbacks.

Question 3

When should facility managers schedule crack filling and patch repairs?

Accepted Answer

The best times are spring and fall when moderate temperatures allow materials to cure effectively, but we can perform repairs year-round with appropriate techniques. Addressing issues before winter prevents freeze-thaw cycles from widening cracks, and post-winter repairs fix damage from snow plows and salt. Regular inspections and timely repairs keep institutional and commercial lots safe, compliant, and cost-effective over time.

Question 4

What are the safety and liability benefits of timely crack filling and patch repairs?

Accepted Answer

Uneven surfaces and potholes create trip hazards and vehicle damage risks, increasing the potential for accidents and liability claims in busy commercial or institutional settings. Professional repairs restore a smooth, even pavement that meets ADA guidelines and reduces slip-and-fall incidents. Property managers gain peace of mind knowing their lots are safer for customers, tenants, employees, and visitors.

Question 5

How long can commercial clients expect crack filling and patch repairs to last?

Accepted Answer

When performed professionally with high-quality materials, crack filling typically lasts 3-5 years and patch repairs 4-7 years or longer, depending on traffic volume and environmental conditions. Combining repairs with regular sealcoating significantly extends their durability by adding an extra protective barrier. We recommend our Devine Protection loyalty program for proactive maintenance reminders and discounts to maximize longevity.
