If you’re a homeowner in Bolingbrook, IL or within a 20-mile radius—including towns like Naperville, Plainfield, Romeoville, Lemont, and Lockport—your driveway goes through a lot. Between harsh Illinois winters, spring rains, and daily vehicle traffic, it’s no wonder your pavement might be showing signs of wear.

But how do you know it’s time to call in the pros at Allrite Paving? Here are 5 telltale signs your driveway needs resurfacing or repair:

1. Cracks Are Spreading

A few small cracks are normal—but if you’re seeing long, widening cracks or a network of spider-webbing across the surface, that’s a red flag. These allow water to seep in, which can lead to deeper damage, especially with freeze/thaw cycles in Illinois.


2. Potholes Have Started to Form

Potholes don’t just look bad—they’re hard on your car and can quickly grow if left untreated. One pothole is all it takes to weaken the surrounding asphalt or concrete, and it’s a sure sign you need professional repair.


3. Water Is Pooling or Not Draining Properly

Drainage issues often point to foundation problems or surface deterioration. If you notice standing water after a rainstorm, your driveway may no longer be level and could need resurfacing or regrading.


4. Faded Appearance and Surface Erosion

A dull, gray, or washed-out look is more than just an eyesore—it often signals UV and weather damage. Surface erosion can also lead to loose gravel or an uneven texture. Sealcoating or resurfacing may be the solution.


5. Age Over 15 Years

Most driveways in the Bolingbrook area last 15–20 years with proper maintenance. If yours is older and showing any of the issues above, it’s probably time to resurface or even consider replacement before problems get worse.
