Weather Conditions

While generally mild, San Jose’s climate can still impact asphalt:

• Sun Exposure: Intense California UV rays can cause oxidation, leading to brittleness and cracking.
• Seasonal Rain: Winter rains can seep into small cracks, weakening the asphalt structure.
• Temperature Fluctuations: Bay Area temperature changes can cause stress on the asphalt.

Heavy Silicon Valley Traffic

Constant vehicle traffic, especially from tech shuttles or delivery trucks, can cause:

• Rutting in busy San Jose parking lots
• Depressions on high-traffic Santa Clara County roads
• Surface wear on Silicon Valley driveways

Poor South Bay Drainage

Inadequate drainage in low-lying areas can lead to:

• Water pooling on San Jose asphalt surfaces
• Weakening of the Bay Area asphalt base
• Accelerated deterioration in flood-prone zones

Chemical Spills in Industrial Areas

Oil, gasoline, and other chemicals common in San Jose’s industrial parks can break down asphalt over time if not cleaned promptly.

Tree Roots in Residential Areas

Growing tree roots from San Jose’s urban forest can push up against the asphalt from underneath, causing cracks and uneven surfaces.

At CASS, we recommend the following preventive measures tailored to San Jose’s climate:

1. Regular Sealcoating: Apply a protective sealant every 2-3 years to shield against intense California UV rays and occasional rain.
2. Prompt Crack Sealing: Address small cracks immediately to prevent water infiltration during Bay Area rainy seasons.
3. Maintain Proper Drainage: Ensure water flows away from your asphalt surface to prevent pooling in low-lying areas.
4. Regular Cleaning: Remove debris and chemical spills promptly to prevent surface deterioration in industrial zones.
5. Traffic Management: For Silicon Valley tech campuses, consider redirecting heavy shuttle traffic to prevent excessive wear.
6. Professional Inspections: Schedule annual inspections to catch and address issues early, especially after winter rains.
7. Tree Management: Regularly trim San Jose’s urban trees near asphalt surfaces and consider root barriers for close proximity.
