ASPHALT PATCHWORK & POTHOLE REPAIR

PROVIDING & SEAMLESS CRACKFILLING PROTECTION FOR YOUR HOME, BUSINESS OR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.

CUSTOM-TAILORED ASPHALT POTHOLE & PATCHWORK REPAIR SOLUTIONS

When a section of your driveway or parking lot is beyond crack filling or may have a sunken or raised area, a more severe repair may be required. When necessary, the area may be cut out, the damaged pavement removed, the base inspected and repaired if needed and then new pavement installed.

We utilize several methods of patching & pothole repair, the one we recommend for a specific project will depend on the condition of the overall surface and the severity of the deterioration. Potholes are caused by the expansion and contraction of water after it has entered into the ground under the pavement via cracks left unsealed. As the weight of cars and trucks pass over the weak spot in the road, pieces of the pavement weaken, which causes the material to break down from the weight, creating the pothole. Most potholes appear in late winter and the early spring due to excessive water from the freezing and melting cycle, which weakens the pavement and leads to cracks and potholes.

Roadways, driveways and parking lots that are not properly maintained may result in costly vehicle repairs that could eat into insruance costs. Not only is pothole repair critical in regard to vehicle maintenance, good upkeep of a business’ parking lot sets the stage to ensure a good impression is made on visitors and prospective customers.

ASPHALT POTHOLE & PATCHWORK REPAIR METHOD

 

  • RSawcut around deteroriated area and remove existing asphalt. We then clean the pothole to ensure dirt and debris that can get in and under the pavement is removed. Having pieces of broken pavement mixed in with the new pavement can weaken the repair.
  • RHeat the pothole. Heating the hole removes any extra moisture that may be in the existing pavement and also softens the area so the new asphalt can be applied. The pothole can also be reshaped once it is softened and old asphalt can be removed or rejuvenated
  • RAdd the new asphalt. Typically, hot mix asphalt is used for this repair. The asphalt needs to be compacted after applied to ensure the reduction of water penetration and increases its resistance. The compaction creates a bond between the old and new asphalt pavement.
  • RAllow the new asphalt to cool. Any debris left around the repair is removed. Most pothole repairs can be driven on immediately.
