How to Determine if Your Parking Lot Needs Asphalt Repair

Asphalt parking lot with repaired asphalt by APS Chipsealing and Asphalt Paving in Tucson, Arizona

As a business owner or property manager in Tucson, AZ, your parking lot is one of the first things customers notice. A well-maintained asphalt parking lot projects professionalism, safety, and care. But how do you know when it’s time to repair it?

Here are the most common signs that indicate you need asphalt parking lot repair — and how APS Chipsealing & Paving can help.

1. Cracks Are Spreading

All asphalt surfaces will develop small cracks over time, but when you start seeing:

  • Long or wide cracks (especially over ¼ inch)
  • Alligator cracking (interconnected, scaly cracks)
  • Edge cracks where the pavement meets sidewalks or curbs

…those are signs that water could be seeping into the foundation. That leads to further damage and even potholes if not addressed.

2. Potholes Are Starting to Form

Potholes don’t just look bad—they can damage vehicles and create liability risks. They typically form when water gets under the asphalt, freezes or expands, and causes the surface to collapse.

Timely asphalt repair can prevent potholes from worsening and save you the cost of full replacement.

3. Drainage Problems

Are puddles forming after a monsoon? Uneven or sunken spots in your parking lot can signal foundation issues. Proper asphalt parking lot repair can restore the slope and prevent water intrusion.

4. Faded Appearance and Striping

When asphalt starts to turn gray and striping is hard to see, it’s a sign that the surface has oxidized from sun exposure. In Tucson’s climate, this can happen fast. Repairing and resealing faded asphalt can restore that rich black look and improve safety.

5. Warping or Buckling

High traffic areas (especially near dumpsters or loading zones) may begin to ripple or sink. That’s a sign of structural failure below the surface. APS can remove and patch these areas with hot lay asphalt to restore strength.

Why Timely Repair Matters

Delaying parking lot repair leads to:

  • Higher long-term costs
  • Safety hazards and liability
  • Poor first impressions for customers or tenants

By acting early, you can extend the life of your parking lot, reduce future maintenance costs, and avoid a full replacement.
