About Crack Sealing

Introduction to Crack Sealing

Crack sealing is an essential process in the maintenance of commercial properties. Particularly for parking lots, pathways, and driveways made from asphalt or concrete, timely crack sealing can significantly upgrade the lifespan, appearance, and safety of the surface. It’s not just about aesthetics and property value; crack sealing also plays a significant role in risk management, especially for businesses. Through this guide, we aim to equip property owners and managers with insights around the process and benefits of crack sealing, specifically for commercial properties.

Understanding the Process of Crack Sealing

The process of crack sealing can be broken down into a series of steps that professionals follow to ensure an effective and durable outcome. As the term suggests, the technique involves the careful application of sealing material into the existing cracks on an asphalt or concrete surface. The primary purpose is to prevent water intrusion and debris collection – two factors that contribute significantly to pavement deterioration. Once preparation is complete, which involves careful cleaning of the cracks, a hot or cold sealing material is applied. The choice between a hot or cold sealer depends on the specific nature of the cracks and the surface material.

Asphalt Crack Sealing

Cracks in asphalt are a common issue as the surface naturally contracts and expands with temperature fluctuations. Asphalt crack sealing is thus a regularly demanded service for maintaining parking lots and other asphalt surfaces. This procedure is particularly favored for its pliability, as the sealing material can equally adapt to the asphalt’s movement without cracking or losing its bond with the surface.

Concrete Crack Sealing for Businesses

Concrete surfaces are evident in almost every commercial property. Since concrete is stiffer than asphalt, it can develop unsightly cracks over time, particularly under heavy traffic or due to structural issues. Concrete crack sealing for businesses is therefore an absolute necessity. It not only maintains the aesthetic value of the property but also prevents further damage and potential liability from trip and fall accidents.

Crack Sealing for Parking Lots

Being high-traffic zones subjected to heavy load and constant wear and tear, parking lots benefit greatly from regular crack sealing. Whether it’s an asphalt or concrete parking lot, timely maintenance that includes crack sealing can extend its life span, enhance its appearance, prevent larger costly damages, and ensure safety for drivers and pedestrians.

Benefits of Crack Sealing

The benefits of crack sealing are aplenty. While increasing the lifespan of commercial property surfaces is a primary advantage, crack sealing also helps maintain a property’s aesthetic value, ensures safety, and significantly cuts down future repair or replacement costs. Given the investment that goes into building a commercial property, a proactive approach to maintenance only protects and maximizes that investment. Taking action at the first signs of cracking is far more cost-effective compared to dealing with substantial repair or total resurfacing down the line.

Choosing the Right Pro

While understanding the basics of crack sealing is necessary, partnering with a local professional service ensures proper execution of the task. An experienced provider will conduct a thorough assessment, recommend the most suitable solution, and employ meticulous practices to offer lasting results. Moreover, they’ll bring in-depth knowledge about local weather conditions and traffic patterns, affording a tailored maintenance approach to keep your property in optimal condition.

Conclusion

Commercial property maintenance, particularly that of parking lots, involves careful planning and execution. Crack sealing, a largely preventive measure, significantly contributes to the property’s longevity, safety, and aesthetics. Incorporating it into your property’s maintenance schedule, you will not only protect your investment but also mitigate any future liabilities. Remember, when it comes to crack sealing, early intervention is the key. So, take action at the right time and make the most of your property for years to come.

About Anchor Bay Shores, Michigan

History

Chesterfield Township was originally established as a general law township in 1842. It became a charter township in 1989.

The original European-American settlement in the area was a hamlet called Chesterfield, first settled in 1830. When the Grand Trunk Railway came through in 1865, it stimulated the development of businesses in the hamlet. It had a post office from 1875 until 1907, but has since lost its specific identity.

Geography

Chesterfield Township is in eastern Macomb County and is bordered on the north by Lenox Township and the village of New Haven; on the east by Ira Township in St. Clair County, and by the village of New Baltimore; on the southeast by Anchor Bay, which is a part of Lake St. Clair; on the south by Harrison Township; and on the west by Macomb Township.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 30.6 square miles (79 km), of which 27.6 square miles (71 km2) are land and 3.0 square miles (7.8 km), or 9.85%, are water.

Much of Chesterfield Township is dominated by suburban subdivisions and shopping developments; its population is increasingly diverse, reflecting area demographic changes. In 2010 some 89% of the population identified as non-Hispanic whites; in the late 20th century, the largely rural township had an even higher percentage of whites. Anchor Bay influences the southeastern part of the community, where many pleasure boats, docks, and marine-related businesses can be found.

Communities

There are nine unincorporated communities in the township and no incorporated villages:

  • Anchor Bay Gardens is located off Jefferson Avenue at Sunrise Street and Jans Drive (42°38′34″N 82°48′45″W / 42.64278°N 82.81250°W / 42.64278; -82.81250; Elevation: 571 ft./174 m.).
  • Anchor Bay Harbor is located on Jefferson Avenue south of Anchor Bay Gardens, between Sugerbush and Cotton roads (42°39′19.1″N 82°47′56.7″W / 42.655306°N 82.799083°W / 42.655306; -82.799083; Elevation: 577 ft./176 m.).
  • Anchor Bay Shores is located off Jefferson Avenue, south of Anchor Bay Harbor between William P. Rosso Highway and 21 Mile Road (42°38′08″N 82°49′00″W / 42.63556°N 82.81667°W / 42.63556; -82.81667; Elevation: 581 ft./177 m.)
  • Chesterfield is located on M-3 from 23 Mile Road to 22 Mile Road. (42°39′46″N 82°50′33″W / 42.66278°N 82.84250°W / 42.66278; -82.84250; Elevation: 607 ft./185 m.)

  • Fairchild was located in the southern portion of the township. It had a post office starting in 1906.
  • Lottivue is located between Jefferson Avenue, Lake Saint Clair, Brandenburg Park and Schneider Road (42°39′34″N 82°45′43″W / 42.65944°N 82.76194°W / 42.65944; -82.76194 ; Elevation: 577 ft./176 m.).

The first post office in the township was established here in 1837 in the house of Robert O. Milton, with the name of “New Haven Post Office”. When this was moved to New Haven, Alfred D. Rice established another post office in Milton. That post office closed at some point, and another was opened in January 1856, with Edmund Matthews as postmaster. This office operated until July 1904. Milton was home to a school, three churches, a doctor, a blacksmith, and a couple of saloons. The last saloon survived until 2004, when it was torn down, at that time it was known as the “Teddy Bear Bar.” The school, known as Milton School, was incorporated into another building, which was torn down in 2002.
