Regional field notes
Mixed, four-season humid climate
Much of the Mid-Atlantic, Ohio Valley, and southern New England sees the full range of pavement stress: freezing winters, hot humid summers, and heavy seasonal rain. Pavement here has to withstand both freeze-thaw cracking in winter and oxidation and moisture damage the rest of the year, so a balanced maintenance program matters more than any single treatment.
Winters are cold enough for repeated freeze-thaw cycling, so unsealed cracks widen and potholes form — particularly on north-facing and shaded areas that thaw slowly.
Hot, sunny summers dry out the asphalt binder, fading the surface to gray and making it brittle. Oxidized pavement cracks more easily under traffic and the next winter's cold.
Frequent rain finds any low spot or failing seam. Poor drainage leads to saturated base layers, faster cracking, and accelerated deterioration around catch basins and edges.
