In Utah, pavement damage isn’t just a maintenance issue—it’s a business problem. When cracks are ignored in the fall, they don’t stay small. Water seeps in, freezes, and by spring those hairline fractures have grown into costly potholes and weakened subbases. For property managers, that means unplanned repair bills, liability risks, and a parking lot that sends the wrong message to tenants and customers. Sealing cracks now protects not only the pavement but also the budget and reputation of the business.
The Federal Highway Administration has long documented how freeze-thaw cycles accelerate pavement deterioration. Utah’s climate, with its sharp day-to-night temperature swings, makes this issue especially severe. Every cycle forces untreated cracks wider, weakens the asphalt base, and accelerates surface failure. What could have been a simple maintenance step in October often becomes a line-item capital expense by March.
Fall provides the ideal conditions for sealing. Moderate daytime temperatures allow sealants to bond and cure properly, creating a flexible barrier that expands and contracts with the pavement. Once consistent freezes set in, that window closes, and cracks left untreated continue to spread damage under the surface all winter long. Acting now gives property managers confidence that their asphalt will withstand snow, salt, and plowing without compounding damage.
Delaying crack sealing has ripple effects that extend far beyond the pavement itself:
