Parking lot Maintenance Do’s and Don’ts

When it comes to maintaining a commercial property, the parking lot is often one of the most overlooked areas. However, neglecting parking lot maintenance can lead to serious problems down the road. Here are some do’s and don’ts to help you keep your parking lot in great shape:

DO

• Do clean your parking lot regularly. Sweeping and pressure washing can remove debris, dirt, and other materials that can accumulate on the surface.
• Do fill in potholes and cracks as soon as possible. Small cracks can quickly turn into larger ones if left unattended.
• Do use proper signage and markings to clearly indicate parking spaces, pedestrian crosswalks, and other important areas.
• Do sealcoat your parking lot every few years to protect the surface from damage caused by UV rays, moisture, and other environmental factors.
• Do hire a professional parking lot maintenance company to perform regular inspections and repairs.

DON’T

• Don’t use harsh chemicals to clean your parking lot. This can damage the surface and cause discoloration.
• Don’t park heavy vehicles or equipment on the surface for extended periods of time. This can cause damage to the surface.
• Don’t allow standing water to accumulate on the surface. This can lead to the formation of potholes and cracks.
• Don’t use improper materials for repairs. Always use materials that are designed for use on asphalt or concrete surfaces.
• Don’t neglect your parking lot. Regular maintenance can help prevent costly repairs down the road.
