How to deal with standing water in your parking lot

Are you concerned about standing water lingering on your parking lot long after a storm? This can indicate several different problems with the asphalt or its foundations. You'e best served to troubleshoot these puddles as soon as possible so they don’t lead to further (and more expensive) water damage.

Here are a few possible options to improve the pavement and reduce damage from puddles.

1. Patching: A strip of pavement could be milled and a new surface installed.
2. Infrared treatments can be applied where puddles have formed, followed by sealcoating application, to improve the surface of the asphalt and protect it from water infiltration.
3. If you are at the point of installing a new parking area, the sub base, drainage system and porous asphalt can be installed to prevent puddling in the first place.
