Common Early Signs of Asphalt Cracking

• Hairline cracks
• Alligator cracking (interconnected cracks resembling an alligator's skin)
• Edge cracks along the perimeter of the asphalt surface
• Raveling (loss of aggregate from the asphalt surface)

Factors Contributing to Asphalt Cracking

Several factors can contribute to the development of cracks in asphalt surfaces, including:

• Aging and oxidation of the asphalt
• Exposure to extreme temperatures and weather conditions
• Excessive traffic loads
• Poor drainage and water accumulation
• Inadequate base preparation during installation

Importance of Regular Inspections

To catch early signs of asphalt cracking, it's essential to conduct regular inspections of your parking lot or driveway.
