January brings cold temperatures, snow events, and dry conditions that can be just as challenging for pavement as heavy moisture. Preventative maintenance during the winter months plays a key role in extending the life of your asphalt and concrete surfaces.
One of the most important steps is keeping pavement clear of snow and ice while
minimizing surface damage. Using the proper deicing materials and avoiding excessive application can help reduce long-term wear. It’s also important to keep an eye on existing cracks, as cold temperatures can cause them to expand and worsen quickly.
Planning ahead is one of the most effective forms of preventative maintenance. Identifying areas that may need crack sealing, patching, or sealcoating once temperatures allow helps streamline spring projects and reduce unexpected repair costs.
