The Risks of Potholes

  1. Vehicle Damage – Potholes can cause flat tires, misalignment, suspension issues, and other costly vehicle repairs.

  3. Structural Deterioration – Small cracks can quickly grow into larger potholes, weakening the entire pavement structure.

  4. Poor Business Image – A parking lot filled with potholes makes your business look neglected and unprofessional, potentially driving customers away.

  5. Legal Liability – If a customer or employee is injured due to a pothole, your business could face costly lawsuits and legal fees.
