Winter Is Coming for Your Parking Lot: Warning Signs & Fixes

Avello's take

This video looks at how winter freeze-thaw cycles can make small asphalt cracks worse and why repair timing matters. It covers warning signs such as alligator cracking and standing water, along with repair options including crack sealing and infrared repair. It also explains that temperature conditions matter for crack sealing. We see this as a plain-spoken introduction to what to notice in a parking lot and what kinds of repairs may be considered.

For Hudson Valley property owners, managers, boards and public works teams, the connection between pavement condition and winter weather matters. Small cracks and standing water are worth including in a discussion about repairs. We view a pavement assessment before the first freeze as a sensible next step. That keeps the discussion focused on the warning signs, repair options and timing covered in this item.
