Project overview

Popcorn Charlie’s is a familiar name in Davenport, and its parking lot gets the traffic to prove it. The asphalt had reached the point where open cracks were letting water into the pavement, so the crew filled the cracks and then sealcoated the entire lot.

The result is a lot that sheds water instead of absorbing it, with the clean black finish customers notice when they pull in.

Project details

Crack filling came first. Open cracks are the fastest route for water to reach the base under a parking lot, and in Iowa that water freezes and expands every winter. Sealing them before the sealcoat goes down is what makes the sealcoat worthwhile.

With the cracks addressed, the crew applied asphalt sealer across the lot. Sealer is a protective wear layer: it blocks UV oxidation, slows moisture penetration and resists oil and salt, while restoring the dark, uniform look of newer pavement.

What property owners should know

Commercial lots in the Quad Cities fail from the top down and the bottom up at the same time. Sun dries out the asphalt binder on the surface, while water entering through cracks softens the base underneath. Crack filling plus regular sealcoating addresses both.

A practical maintenance rhythm for most lots: fill cracks before winter, sealcoat every two to three years depending on traffic, keep drainage clear so water never stands on the surface, repair small problems while they are still small, and keep oil and debris cleaned off. Done consistently, this is what keeps a lot from reaching the point where only replacement will do.
