South Jersey's freeze-thaw cycles are tough on asphalt driveways. In Harrison Township and throughout Gloucester County, temperatures can swing 30 to 40 degrees in a single day during winter, causing water trapped in cracks and pores to freeze, expand, and break apart the asphalt surface. Over a single winter, untreated cracks can double or triple in size, leading to potholes and structural damage that is far more expensive to repair in spring.
Harrison Paving recommends scheduling sealcoating and crack filling in the fall before freezing weather arrives. Sealcoating creates a waterproof barrier that prevents moisture from penetrating the surface, while crack filling stops water from reaching the base layer where the real damage occurs. Removing snow promptly and avoiding excessive salt use also helps protect your Harrison Township driveway from winter deterioration.
After every winter, we recommend a spring driveway inspection to catch any new damage while it is small and inexpensive to fix. Call Harrison Paving at (856) 694-4181 to schedule a free post-winter assessment for your Harrison Township driveway.
