Don’t Fall Into Cracked Pavement After Summer Rains!

Summer's not easy on concrete and asphalt even in "normal" years! You've got changes in temperature to worry about, plus natural friction from vehicles and people traveling over paving materials in the heat. 

But what's a business to do with a wet summer like we've had in Atlanta this year? What happens to pavement when there's been a little less heat and a whole LOT more rain?

Here's the thing about water: it gets EVERYWHERE, through the smallest little holes or cracks. And once it's in there, it expands and contracts just like your paving materials do. So, if you've got rough spots and cracks already, water movement during temperature extremes can aggravate existing conditions.

The good news is that fall is coming! Sure, we may get some more rain courtesy of Atlantic hurricanes, but we'll dry out in between as the low-pressure areas pass and the air gets both cooler and drier. 

That means now is the time to schedule your repairs with an Atlanta paving company before favorable fall turns into cold and possibly frozen winter (more water expansion and contraction)! Recovering from summer rains also means you'll be prepared for the colder months.
