Tarmac Driveway Repairs: When to Act Before It Gets Worse
A well-laid tarmac driveway not only adds kerb appeal to your Milton property, but it also handles the daily wear and tear of vehicles and weather with ease. However, even the toughest surfaces need attention now and then. At Milton Driveways, we often see minor damage become major (and more costly) problems because repairs were delayed. Knowing when to act is essential to avoid more extensive work down the line.
Tarmac is durable, yes—but not indestructible. Over time, exposure to the elements, frequent traffic, and even roots from nearby trees can cause cracking, dips or potholes. These issues can worsen quickly, especially in colder months when water seeps into cracks, freezes and expands. A small fissure today could turn into a full surface failure tomorrow.
Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
- Cracks or splits that are widening
- Pooling water after rainfall
- Loose gravel or dislodged aggregate
- Surface fading or crumbling edges
- Uneven or sunken areas in high-traffic spots
Addressing these problems early can prevent the need for full resurfacing, saving you both time and money. A quick professional patch or seal might be all that’s needed if caught in time.
