Winter weather in the Mid-Atlantic can be tough on pavement, especially with frequent freeze-thaw cycles and fluctuating temperatures. January is an ideal time to start watching for early signs of damage that may worsen as the season continues.
Common indicators include widening cracks, surface flaking, standing water after
precipitation, and areas that appear uneven or sunken. These issues often begin small
but can expand quickly when moisture freezes and thaws repeatedly. Snow removal
equipment and deicing materials can also expose weak spots that weren’t visible earlier in the year.
Identifying concerns now allows for smarter planning and more efficient repairs once
conditions improve. Early awareness helps prioritize maintenance, reduce long-term
costs, and keep pavement safer for vehicles and pedestrians. If you have questions or notice changes in your pavement this winter, the Chamberlain team is here to help guide next steps.
