Resurfacing an existing asphalt pavement is often referred to as a “recap” or an “overlay” This can be an economical way of extending the life of your parking lot or driveway. Special consideration needs to be taken when choosing to resurface the existing asphalt pavement. Is the underlying asphalt in sound condition? Remember your asphalt parking lot is only as good as the underlying surface. Like most jobs, quality is a product of proper preparation . Targetted repairs or partially re paving an existing asphalt surface can resolve standing water issues caused by settlement and depressions. Standing water is a liability risk during the winter months when temperatures drop below freezing causing slip hazards. Overlaying these areas with a fine upper mix should be part of a maintenance program.
