For many people, the months following the rush of the holidays provide a season to recover, hibernate, and maybe, just maybe plan for the coming year. However, if you are managing any type of property or street, now is not the time to put your property maintenance on hold! Sure, traffic may have decreased slightly in your parking lots and streets. Customers now spend less time loitering and leaving litter. What you may not know is that the colder weather combined with any type of debris (even debris you don’t see!) can cause your asphalt and other surfaces to deteriorate much more quickly than you expect in warmer months. This leads to greater need for repairs when spring and summer arrive.
What Can I Do?
We are so glad you asked! No property owner or manager can be expected to be an expert on these things. However, you happen to know the experts – Smith Property Services! We would love to chat with you about assessing the frequency of your parking lot sweeping or street sweeping. We will provide you with a personalized plan for the cold months. This guarantees that your pavement is well-maintained and protected from unnecessary wear and tear.
What About Salt and Sand?
Smith Property Services can sweep away remaining salt and dirt after the snow and ice have melted. Between snow events, your paved surfaces require cleaning and sweeping. This process keeps the salt and sand from penetrating the surface of your asphalt and wearing down the pavement. We can schedule these sweeps at regular intervals throughout the winter to keep your parking lots and streets pristine.
Salt and sand also affect your other outdoor surfaces! Think about how nasty the exterior of your car looks after driving through the winter slush. That same type of buildup is occurring on your outdoor surfaces even if you have not stopped to notice! Sidewalks, outdoor trashcans, benches, signs, and buildings all require cleaning at different frequencies during the winter than they do at other times of year. Smith Property Services is here to keep your outdoor surfaces clean throughout the winter months.
