The Real Cost of Delaying Asphalt Repairs
Jul 11, 2025
A minor crack today can become a major expense tomorrow. At Shield Asphalt, we’ve seen small issues double or triple in cost when ignored for just one season. That’s why delaying asphalt repair often ends up costing more, both in dollars and in disruptions.
Short-Term Delay, Long-Term Damage
- Cracks widen with water infiltration
- Freeze-thaw cycles increase pavement stress
- Traffic pushes loose areas deeper
What could have been a quick asphalt patching job might turn into a full replacement. The earlier you act, the cheaper the fix.
Risk Beyond Cost
Damaged pavement increases liability. Slip-and-fall incidents, tire damage and ADA compliance issues all become real risks. For commercial property owners, that’s not just inconvenient, it’s a potential lawsuit.
Why Acting Fast Pays Off
- Reduces material and labor costs
- Limits damage to isolated areas
- Prevents accidents and insurance claims
