Why Flood Damage Gets Worse After the Water's Gone
The flooding on July 14 didn't just leave water on your driveway – it forced water deep into the asphalt structure. Now, 11 days later, that trapped moisture is destroying your driveway from the inside out.
Phase 1: Water Infiltration (Days 1-7)
- • Flood water penetrates through micro-cracks
- • Saturates the base material beneath asphalt
- • Dissolves binding agents in the asphalt
- • Contamination from flood debris and chemicals
Phase 2: Heat Damage (Days 8-30)
- • Summer heat causes rapid expansion/contraction
- • Trapped moisture creates pressure bubbles
- • Weakened asphalt becomes soft and pliable
- • Accelerated oxidation and deterioration
You're Currently in the Critical Window: Damage is hidden but rapidly worsening
