Asphalt Repair and Cracks

What types of asphalt repair can we handle? 

1. Crack Sealing: Cracks are a common problem in asphalt surfaces. Crack sealing involves filling the cracks with a specialized asphalt sealant to prevent water penetration, further deterioration, and the growth of weeds or vegetation. This helps to extend the lifespan of the pavement and maintain its structural integrity.
2. Pothole Patching: Potholes are holes or depressions in the pavement caused by water infiltration, freeze-thaw cycles, or heavy traffic. Pothole patching involves cleaning the damaged area, applying an asphalt patching material (such as hot mix asphalt or cold mix asphalt), and compacting it to restore a smooth surface.
3. Overlay or Resurfacing: In cases where the asphalt surface is extensively damaged or deteriorated, an overlay or resurfacing may be required. This process involves applying a new layer of asphalt on top of the existing surface. It helps to restore the smoothness, structural integrity, and appearance of the pavement.
4. Milling and Repaving: When the damage extends beyond the surface layer, milling and repaving may be necessary. This process involves removing a portion of the damaged asphalt layer through milling machinery and replacing it with new asphalt. It is commonly used for severely damaged or worn-out pavements.
5. Patching and Repairs: Minor localized damage, such as small cracks or isolated areas of deterioration, can be addressed through patching or spot repairs. This involves cleaning the affected area, applying a suitable asphalt repair material, and compacting it to ensure proper adhesion and blending with the surrounding pavement.

It is important to note that the specific repair method and materials used may vary depending on the nature and extent of the damage. It is recommended to consult with professionals or asphalt contractors who can assess the condition of the pavement and recommend the most appropriate repair technique. Proper and timely asphalt repair can help extend the life of the pavement, maintain safety, and minimize future maintenance costs.
