Here is a list of signs your driveway may be showing and indicating for the repair. Inspect your path, if it is showing below signs then contact the professionals to repair it.
Alligator Cracks
In case your driveway is showing a series of overlapping cracks, it means your path is divided into a series of tiny, broken sections which are called alligator cracks. It indicates for the sub-base under your driveway is no longer supportive.
Drainage Issue
If you notice the water is not draining correctly and pooling on your driveway, it is another sign to repair your driveway as soon as possible because this can weaken the pavement and lead to cracks.
