Concrete – Flat Work
FLAT WORK — Concrete flatwork includes all concrete work located along a horizontal plane, such as dolly pads, sidewalks, and driveways. The integrity of finished concrete flatwork is dependent on the mix of portland cement, aggregate, air entrainment and water. The correct concrete mix is designed to be workable, strong enough for the intended use and durable enough to weather the seasonal changes in the Chicago area. Shifting base, water infiltration, and freeze thaw cycles can cause flat concrete to chip, spall or sink causing slabs to look bad and ultimately become a hazard.

Concrete Pavement Maintenance
Overtime your concrete pavement may begin to fracture, crack, fatigue and eventually fail. Our friendly and knowledgeable experts are able to tell you what the correct fix is. Whether it is a sidewalk, dolly pad, parking lot or dumpster pad, we price it out, and get it done quickly! The three main causes of concrete pavement failure are:
- Fatigue– Failure of concrete under the stress of repeated heavy loads
- Poor Drainage—Surface water infiltrates the supporting base material reducing the ability to support weight
- Weather—The constant variation in temperatures cause expansion and contraction of the concrete
The Gasaway Company will find the best way to fix your concrete problems! Let us pave the way for cost effective concrete maintenance solutions! 630.985.1600.

Storm Sewer Repair & Installation
REPAIR — As catch basins age, the concrete structure can crumble or crack causing a washout around the drain tiles. The result is a sink hole in your parking lot. In these cases the concrete structure of the catch basin is either patched or replaced.
The deteriorated areas are removed and patched. In cases where the damage is severe, the basin is removed and replaced with a precast concrete basin. Drain outlets are adjusted and the frame is leveled to provide drainage. The area is then back filled and paved with asphalt or concrete.
DRAIN TILE AND CATCH BASIN INSTALLATION — After a parking lot is in use, you may find drainage problems occur from landscaped areas, sprinkler systems or roof drains. A properly designed drain tile system along with catch basin installation can be a very effective solution for these improper drainage areas. Proper drainage will extend the life an asphalt parking lot and pay for itself over time.
Concrete Curbs
Curbs — Concrete curbs tend to get a lot of wear-and-tear because of the overall use they get. They can sink, break-up and crack after years of rough treatment and tough winters.
Some signs of curbs in need of repair are: the park strip has cracked and raised one-half inch or more, ramping where there is a rise or depression of one inch in two feet, a hole or opening in a break or construction joint of one inch or more, or the breaking away or spalling of concrete with a minimum depth of 1/2 inch.
Asphalt Maintenance Services
Asphalt Parking Lot Maintenance
The most important reason to take care of asphalt is to stop moisture from penetrating the asphalt surface. Water infiltration causes cracks, pot holes and the eventual deterioration of the underlying gravel base.
So whether you need a fill patch, crack seal, seal coating or asphalt patchwork, or an asphalt overlay we are here to help!

Sealcoating Asphalt Protects Your Parking Lot
Sealcoat slows the deteriorating effects of seasonal sun, wind and water. At Gasaway we thoroughly clean the asphalt pavement by using mechanical blowers and brooms to make sure that all dirt and debris is completely removed. Next, we sealcoat your pavement with a rubberized coal tar emulsion. Sand is added for traction. Studies show that asphalt parking lots that are properly sealcoated last 30 %- 50% longer and save money over the life of the parking lot.
Gasaway Company is a full-service provider of new asphalt pavement projects, annual asphalt patchwork, seal coating, crackfilling, and striping in the Greater Chicago area. There is no job too big or too small for us to handle… give us a call and let us help! 630-985-1600.
Asphalt Patchwork
Patching is the process of filling potholes or larger excavated areas in the asphalt pavement. Quick repair of potholes or other pavement disintegration helps control further deterioration and avoids additional expensive repair of the pavement.
In both crack sealing and pothole patching, timing is important. Don’t wait until the road is in poor condition to schedule the work. Pavement distresses multiply if timely maintenance isn’t performed.
Crack Filling
Filling cracks in your asphalt parking lot surface is a very important part of extending the life of your asphalt surface! A crack filling program will stop moisture from penetrating the asphalt surface causing pot holes. Winter freeze thaw cycle creates heaving and eventual deteriorating of the asphalt. These conditions can usually be avoided by practicing good maintenance and keeping the cracks filled as they occur.
Thanks for the great job you did over the weekend. We appreciate the fact that your crew showed up on time with little disruption to our building tenants. The parking lot looks great!
