Reliable Utility Road Cut Repairs in East Tennessee
May 6, 2025After a long, hot East Tennessee summer, your parking lot has taken more abuse than you might think. The extreme heat, UV rays, and heavy storms common to our region can take a toll on asphalt, leading to costly damage if not addressed quickly. At Bevco Parking Services, we specialize in helping commercial property owners repair, protect, and extend the life of their pavement as the seasons change.
Here’s what summer does to your asphalt — and how we can help fix it.
1. Heat and UV Rays Break Down Asphalt
Prolonged sun exposure causes the asphalt binder to dry out and oxidize, making it brittle and more susceptible to cracking. This not only dulls your lot’s appearance but can lead to long-term structural issues.
Our Solution:
Bevco offers sealcoating services that restore the rich black color of your lot while providing a protective layer to guard against further UV and moisture damage.
2. Heavy Summer Storms Cause Water Intrusion
Torrential downpours — a staple of Tennessee summers — often lead to standing water, especially if your lot has poor drainage or already has cracks. Water that seeps beneath the surface weakens the foundation and accelerates pothole formation.
Our Solution:
We provide crack sealing, pothole repair, and drainage assessments to stop water damage before it gets worse. Early intervention is the key to avoiding costly repaving down the road.
3. Traffic Worsens Summer Damage
During summer, your parking lot may have endured increased traffic from seasonal events, tenants, or business surges. Combined with heat, this added load can stress weakened pavement.
Our Solution:
Our team offers asphalt patching and overlay services to fix fatigue spots and extend the life of your surface without full replacement.
4. Faded Striping and Safety Markings
The sun doesn’t just impact your pavement — it also fades your parking lines, crosswalks, ADA markings, and directional arrows, making your lot look worn and reducing safety and compliance.
Our Solution:
Bevco provides professional line striping and re-marking to restore order and clarity to your lot. A freshly striped lot not only improves traffic flow but also gives your business a more professional image.
Now’s the Time to Act
Fall is the perfect season to inspect, repair, and prepare your parking lot for the cooler months ahead. Taking care of summer damage now will prevent more serious (and expensive) issues during the freeze-thaw cycles of winter.
