Call Reliable Contracting in MD to winterize your parking lot!
If you are a property manager in central Maryland, you are likely aware that winter is on its way. We have moved well past summer and are in the throes of autumn, but if you are reading this post at any point in the year, now is still a great time to learn how to prepare a parking lot for winter.
Cleaning the Parking Lot
The first step is to remove fallen leaves, dead branches, and debris from the parking lot. Such debris is not something you want to encounter in a snowy parking lot. Parking lot cleaning is something your property management can take care of in-house or outsource.
Fixing Potholes, Cracks, & Other Problems
Fall is still an acceptable time to fix potholes, cracked pavements, ruts, and other pavement problems. An asphalt paving company like Reliable Contracting can assess your commercial, industrial, or private parking lot and address all problems so that it functions as good as new.
Sealing the Asphalt If Necessary
Asphalt sealcoating is a beneficial service that preserves the pavement from oxidation, moisture problems, and staining. An asphalt sealant is made of bitumen, the sticky black liquid based on petroleum that holds the gravel and other aggregates in asphalt together. It’s best to seal asphalt paving every few years.
Restriping If Necessary
Parking lots have pavement markings that mark traffic lanes, traffic directions, parking spaces, handicapped parking spaces, and stopping points. If your parking lot needs restriping, it’s a great idea to do it before winter so that markings are clear even during short daylight hours.
Securing a Parking Lot Snow Removal Company
Find a reliable snow removal company to take care of your parking lot if snow or ice is in the forecast. If you have secured a great company, you can have peace of mind regarding your parking lot’s safety during and after winter storms.
Preparing for Deicing & Snow Removal
If you are taking care of deicing and snow removal yourself, prepare well in advance for these tasks. Set up a plan for deicing the parking lot and removing snow should it be forecasted.
