We recently lost our best girl, Sasha, after a short battle with lymphoma. Sasha was a regular at Xpress Sweeping. She came to work with us every day. She split her time between the garage, hanging out with the crews as they worked on the trucks; and the office, where she greeted all of our customers when they came in. When we added our younger dog Hazel to the family, Sasha taught her the ropes and transfered her calm nature to Hazel. We will miss you, Sasha!

Fatigue cracking is also known as ‘alligator’ or ‘crocodile’ cracking, and it is one of the most common ways that asphalt pavement can break down over time. The cracking patterns caused are extremely distinctive and resemble the scales on a reptile's back, hence the amphibian reference in the name. Alligator cracking is also one of the more serious problems that an asphalt surface can develop, and it will only get worse over time if not addressed. Unlike surface-level asphalt damage, alligator cracking is almost always caused by problems beneath the asphalt in the underlying layers, which are supposed to support the asphalt. When the pavement is carrying burdens that the supporting structure can't hold up, like heavy trucks or machinery, alligator cracking occurs. While a small crack in a paved surface may not look dangerous, it is the sign of a potentially huge problem. Though small, when the freezing rain and snow hits, water will make its way into the crack and freeze, causing a much bigger issue to brew. Soon that tiny crack will become a much larger gap, or a chunk of broken-off asphalt. What can you do to prevent a big headache? Call Xpress Sweeping for a free repair estimate. We will come to your commercial property, investigate the obvious problems and those that may be hiding beneath the surface, and give you an estimate for complete repair. Your property may need to be seal coated, or it may need a total regrading and resurfacing.

Now that the winter is finally over, our crews have been hard at work at our commercial clients' properties around the state cleaning up the last of the sand and debris. We know how important it is to present a clean, welcoming property to your customers, employees and visitors and we work around the clock to make it happen without disrupting your day-to-day business operations. The first step to winter cleanup is eliminating the salt and sand left by plows throughout the winter. To do that, we use our sweeping and vacuuming trucks, along with a crew of dedicated and careful employees who use gas powered blowers to assist the larger machines. Next we come through and inspect the property for damage such as potholes, cracks in the surfaces, or missing/damaged barriers. We also assess the landscaping. The end result is a welcoming commercial property ready for a busy Spring and Summer season! Contact us today for your free quote at 401-825-6961.

October is always a busy month for us with the ending of Summer and beginning of Fall. Here at Xpress Sweeping, we were out working all across Rhode Island and the surrounding areas, helping our customers prepare for the cold weather and vacuuming the already falling leaves. The images above are from a fencing replacement job, something we do quite often; and also two landscaping jobs requiring our larger dump trucks. Other jobs we worked on this month included paving jobs in North Kingstown, sidewalk demolition and replacement in Cranston and curb repair in Warwick. We would love to assist you with whatever outdoor maintenance your business needs, and as always, we offer free estimates. Don't forget to get on our list for snow plowing, as the snow will be here before you know it. Call us at 401-825-6961 to speak with us today!

Pumpkin flavored everything is back, which is a sure sign that Fall is almost here. We've also noticed the leaves starting to fall already, and have begun preparing our extensive fleet of vacuum and sweeper trucks for a busy season. So why is it important to clear dead leaves off your paved surfaces? Leaves quickly clog gutters New England Fall weather can include a lot of rain, so the last thing you want is to have clogged gutters. When clogged, gutters can't properly drain water from paved surfaces, causing flooding. Keep roadways clear of leaves and other debris so that flooding is minimal or non-existent, even during heavy rains. Leaves become slippery when wet, posing a risk for pedestrians, bikers and motorcyclists There are already enough hazards that pedestrians, bikers and motorcyclists have to deal with. Don't add wet, slippery leaves to the mix. Especially if you have, as an example, a shopping center up on a hill and the roadways are curvy or hilly, pay special attention to leaves building up. Your customers will thank you! Contact Xpress Sweeping to schedule your free vacuuming/sweeping estimate at 401-825-6961 today!
