Everyone is familiar with the prevalent annoyance of potholes. It doesn’t matter if you have a newly paved driveway or parking lot or if they have always been there; potholes will eventually appear. Potholes develop because water droplets mix in with changing temperatures. As the water enters the ground through the pavement, it expands (freezes) and contracts (thaws). This expansion and contraction below the asphalt can eventually weaken the pavement’s integrity, triggering it to crumble inwards as other vehicles stress the weak point.

Although potholes are annoying, they don’t have to be permanent. Tri-State Paving can repave your parking lot or driveway on your Pennsylvania property. So, here are some reasons why you should repair your Bethlehem potholes after winter.

Potholes are Common in the Springtime

As mentioned, potholes develop because the water droplets expand and contract below the pavement, resulting in structural weakness and failure. Even though it may seem that winter should be the most prevalent time for potholes to form, the pavement only weakens after the underground ice thaws; and this occurs in the springtime.

This signifies that during the springtime, potholes are ubiquitous. Ugly potholes can also significantly impact how pleasant your parking lot or driveway is to utilize and look at, so you should repair your Bethlehem potholes after winter. Remember always to hire a professional paving company.

Repairs Will Enhance Curb Appeal

Another compelling reason you should repair your Bethlehem potholes after winter is that springtime is when most clients will start leaving their homes more often due to the warm weather. Once spring approaches, everyone is excited to go to their houses and stretch their legs. As a result, repairing your potholes will showcase your property’s cleanliness for customers to view, encouraging them to visit and return.

Increased Safety

Finally, fixing your potholes can also make your driveway or parking lot safer. Potholes can damage a customer’s wheels, harm their exhaust, misalign their steering system, and trigger numerous vehicle accidents and damage. Damage or injury due to potholes might leave your business liable for damages or fines. So, you should permanently repair your potholes rather than leaving them to fix later.
