Don't Ignore These Pavement Warning Signs

Your pavement is more than just a surface—it's your property's first impression. Weather, traffic, and neglect can transform minor issues into expensive repairs. At Pave Worx, we've identified five key warning signs that indicate your asphalt or concrete needs professional attention.

⚠️ 1. Cracks Are Spreading

Hairline cracks may seem harmless, but when left untreated, they expand and allow water infiltration, leading to:

• Potholes
• Base layer damage
• Freeze-thaw cycles that worsen cracks in winter

Solution:

Call us for crack sealing or surface patching before a full replacement becomes necessary.

🌊 2. Standing Water or Poor Drainage

Poor drainage erodes the base beneath your pavement, leading to premature deterioration.

Signs to watch:

• Pooling after rain
• Water runoff toward buildings or landscaping
• Soft or sunken spots

Solution:

We offer grading corrections and drainage fixes to keep your surface safe and dry.

🕳️ 3. Potholes

Potholes aren't just unsightly—they're hazardous. They can cause:

• Tire or vehicle damage
• Tripping hazards
• Deepening cracks around the hole

Solution:

Our crew performs swift, lasting pothole repairs using high-quality asphalt or concrete patching.

🌑 4. Faded, Dull, or Oxidized Surfaces

UV rays break down your surface, causing it to gray, fade, and lose flexibility—particularly with asphalt. This makes it vulnerable to:

• Cracking
• Raveling
• Water absorption

Solution:

Schedule a sealcoating treatment to restore appearance and extend your pavement's lifespan.

🪨 5. Loose Gravel or Surface Breakdown

Do you see loose stones, broken edges, or crumbling concrete?

These signs may indicate:

• Sub-base failure
• Overuse or overloading
• Lack of maintenance

Solution:

We assess the entire surface and recommend resurfacing or full-depth repair as needed.

🧰 Bonus: Routine Wear & Tear

Even without major warning signs, all paved surfaces need regular care. Proper maintenance can double their lifespan and minimize long-term costs.
