ASPHALT PATCHWORK & POTHOLE REPAIR
Seamless Solutions to Protect Your Home, Business, or Commercial Property
When sections of your driveway or parking lot have damage beyond what crack filling can address—or if you notice sunken or raised areas—more extensive repairs may be necessary. These repairs often involve cutting out the affected area, removing the damaged pavement, inspecting and repairing the base, and installing new asphalt for a seamless finish.
Tailored Patching & Pothole Repair Methods
We use a variety of patching and pothole repair methods, selecting the best approach based on the condition of the overall surface and the severity of the damage. Potholes typically form when water enters the pavement through unsealed cracks, then expands and contracts during freezing and thawing cycles. As vehicles pass over these weakened areas, the pavement further deteriorates, eventually breaking down into potholes. This process is most common in late winter and early spring when moisture and temperature fluctuations are at their peak.
The Importance of Timely Repairs
Neglected roadways, driveways, and parking lots can lead to costly vehicle repairs due to damage caused by potholes, which can also affect insurance premiums. Beyond vehicle maintenance, maintaining your parking lot or driveway makes a lasting impression on visitors, customers, and potential clients. A well-kept surface reflects professionalism and care for your property.
Asphalt Pothole and Patchwork Repair Methods
- RWe begin by saw-cutting around the damaged area to remove the existing asphalt. Next, the pothole is thoroughly cleaned to eliminate dirt, debris, and broken pavement fragments. Ensuring a clean, debris-free surface is essential, as leftover materials can weaken the bond and compromise the durability of the repair.
- RWe use heat to remove excess moisture from the existing pavement and to soften the area, preparing it for the application of new asphalt. Heating also allows for reshaping the pothole, ensuring a better fit for the repair. Additionally, old asphalt can be removed or rejuvenated during this process, enhancing the durability and longevity of the repair.
- RWe use hot mix asphalt for the repair, ensuring a durable and long-lasting solution. After the asphalt is applied, it is carefully compacted to reduce water penetration and enhance resistance to wear. This compaction process also creates a strong bond between the existing pavement and the new asphalt, ensuring a seamless and durable repair.
- RAfter the new asphalt is applied and compacted, we allow it to cool. Once cooled, any remaining debris around the repair area is cleared. Most pothole repairs are ready for use immediately, allowing you to drive on the surface without delay.
