Is Your Parking Lot Ready for Winter? Line Painting & Maintenance Checklist

The winter may be among the worst seasons to require in the commercial property, particularly the parking lots, which are of consistent freezing and thawing, snow accumulation, and heavy traffic movement. An improperly maintained lot may be a critical liability and lead to the possibility of slips, falls, collisions, drainage problems, and structural damage.

It is not only the prudent thing to do to maintain your parking lot, but also a necessary precaution before the winter season starts. Strategic planning, fresh painting, and proactive maintenance can make sure that the lots of businesses are safe, visible, and fully functional during the coldest months of the year.

Aiden Property Care is a year-round parking lot and property care service that meets the needs of the Canadian winters. The preparation of your parking lot ahead of the season is a task that can be easily determined by this guide.

 

The Impact of Winter-Ready Parking Lots.

The winter season is characterized by snow, ice, uncertain weather, and early evenings, and all these render parking lots difficult to navigate. Bright marks are washed away, asphalt develops cracks, and ice covers the roads and endangers drivers and pedestrians.

A parking lot can be winter-ready, and it guarantees:

  • Higher visibility in low-light environments and snow.
  • Safer traffic movement
  • Reduced slip-and-fall cases.
  • Less liability to the owners of the property.
  • Extended pavement and paint service.
  • Floods of snow removal.
  • Enhanced drainage and reduced freeze-thaw problems.

Money saved through proper preparation, avoiding accidents, and making your business more accessible even when there is a winter season.

 

Mark Line Visibility: Before Winter Fresh Line Painting.

When the snow starts falling, the faded lines can also be almost invisible. This is the reason why most companies plan courageous and unmistakable line painting in advance before winter to enhance traffic and safety. High-contrast markings are also important during winter, and especially important to:

  • Parking stalls
  • Fire routes
  • Accessible parking
  • Loading zones
  • Directional arrows

The clear lines also ensure that the teams that remove the snow do not destroy the curbs, sidewalks and the landscaped areas as they are able to see the boundaries, even on a heavy snow cover.

Aiden Property Care applies the paint that is durable and of high visibility, hence suitable to withstand the harsh weather of Canada, so that your markings are readable longer.

 

Check and Repair Pavement Breakages.

The freeze-thaw cycle tends to increase cracks and potholes as well as uneven surfaces. Early intervention will save your pavement and save you the money that you would spend on future repairs.

Snowstorms are unpredictable, and thus, business requires a good and experienced management partner who is on call and reliable. An effective plan will specify response times, equipment requirements and high priority areas.

The parking lot safety will be maintained by clearing the choked paths by a professional group:

  • Entrances and exits
  • Fire routes
  • Sidewalks and walkways
  • Accessible parking
  • Loading docks

Aiden Property Care has 24/7 parking maintenance services during winter, and thus makes businesses stay in business in even the most unfriendly weather.

 

Visibility of the lighting and Signage.

There are less light days with more dark days in winter. Proper lighting minimizes accidents and aids in clearing navigation.

Inspect and upgrade:

  • Parking lot lighting
  • Professional road lines.
  • Directional and speed limit signs.
  • Cross walks and safety markings.

Lots with a brighter shade are safer and better placed to give your business a better appearance in the dark season.
