As the temperature begins to drop, Cassidy Paving wants you to be confident that your parking lot or driveway will make it through the winter. New England is known for its fair share of winter storms and freezing temperatures, but we know that life must still go on even with ice and snowstorms. Here are a few things you can do right now to make sure that you have a proper plan in place for snow and ice management.
Repair Beforehand
In order to avoid disaster after the first freeze, we recommend having your business’s asphalt inspected before the temperatures drop. If you haven’t had a professional service inspect your pavement in a while, it’s time to do so before any issues are exacerbated by the freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall. You want to address any cracks, potholes, and unevenness. Other potential hazards to have inspected are any areas in your asphalt that have standing, pooling water, or drainage issues. Standing water will freeze and be extremely difficult or dangerous to drive and/or walk on. This can be a liability, especially if you are the business owner and it’s your responsibility to ensure parking lot safety. Repairing these concerns before winter is highly recommended by professionals like Cassidy Paving.
Regularly Remove Debris
If the condition of your asphalt is on par, and you’ve done all the required maintenance when it’s time, you still have a few things to look out for when managing your property in the winter. You will need to make sure that any debris that gets onto your pavement is removed prior to any big freeze. Hazards like branches, large limbs, and leaves will trap moisture and freeze. The weight of this debris can cause rapid deterioration. The best thing you can do is clean your asphalt and keep it that way throughout the duration of the winter.
Hire a Snow Removal Company
One of the most important components of managing your property in the winter is getting snow and ice removed so that you can carry on about your day. Hiring a snow removal company like Cassidy Paving can save you time and stress when that first snowstorm hits. Most of our snow removal contracts can have you on a per season or per push option. We also provide these flexible options as well as a per storm option. If you’re not sure about what you need for your property, we can help you determine that and scale our services to meet your needs. We also keep our supplies stockpiled and a large equipment fleet ready to go 24 hours a day during the wintertime. Hiring someone to do the heavy lifting for you is a great way to ensure that your asphalt stays in top condition throughout even the coldest of winters.
