When a pothole or damaged area shows up on your property, you may still have usable pavement to work with. Infrared asphalt repair lets us heat and rework suitable existing asphalt, limiting unnecessary removal so you can resume using the repaired area.
With more than 50 years of local experience, Asphalt Seal & Repair brings this targeted infrared asphalt pothole repair to commercial properties throughout Green Bay and Northeast Wisconsin. Request a quote online or call our team today.
Potholes, shallow depressions, and certain pavement transitions are good candidates for infrared repair when the damage is localized, and the surrounding pavement remains serviceable. This approach, also known as infrared asphalt patching, lets us focus on the affected area while preserving the surrounding pavement.
We assess the pavement and underlying support first to determine whether the process fits the damage:
Reuse Existing Asphalt: We rework existing asphalt and add fresh material where needed.
Target Localized Damage: We target the affected area without disturbing the surrounding pavement.
Limit Unnecessary Removal: Reworking existing asphalt means less waste.
If we find widespread deterioration or failed underlying support, we’ll recommend a different parking lot repair approach from our comprehensive list of services.
The right repair method depends on what is happening at and below the pavement surface. Infrared lets us rework a suitable section of existing asphalt, while remove-and-replace patching gives us access to areas where damaged material needs to come out.
| Infrared Repair | Remove-and-Replace Patching | |
|---|---|---|
| Method | We heat and rework the existing asphalt, add fresh asphalt where needed, and compact the repair. | We remove the damaged asphalt so we can install new material in the repair area. |
| Suitable Conditions | Potholes, shallow depressions, and other contained areas of damage where the underlying support remains suitable. | Damage that requires pavement removal or deeper repair below the surface. |
| Limitations | Cannot correct a failed base or pavement that requires reconstruction. | Requires removing existing pavement and may extend into the underlying support when deterioration reaches below the surface. |
If the damage reaches the base or the pavement has completely failed, heating the surface will not correct the underlying problem. These areas may require patching and pothole repairs to remove and replace the failed material.
The process starts with inspecting the damaged area, surrounding pavement, and underlying support to determine what needs repair. We also plan around site access and traffic, sequencing multiple repair areas around your property’s use when needed.
Our crew clears and prepares the repair area before positioning the infrared equipment over the damaged pavement. Controlled heat softens the existing asphalt so we can rework it without removing the entire repair area.
Once the asphalt has softened, our crew loosens and reworks the material, adding fresh asphalt where needed. We then compact the repair and finish the surface.
Before reopening the area, our crew checks the finished repair and provides future maintenance recommendations.

From our office at 2077 Enterprise Drive in De Pere, WI, our team works with commercial properties throughout Green Bay and across Northeast Wisconsin.
With more than 50 years of local experience, we know what Wisconsin weather and steady traffic can do to pavement. Whether you need a repair now or ongoing maintenance, our asphalt services in Green Bay help you prioritize the work and develop a tailored paving strategy.
Cost depends on the size and number of damaged areas, pavement condition, site access, and materials needed. We assess the property first so your quote reflects the actual scope of work.
There is no set lifespan for an infrared repair. How long it lasts depends on the surrounding pavement, underlying support, traffic, drainage, and maintenance. If the base has failed or another structural problem remains, the repaired area can deteriorate again.
Reopening time depends on the repair, cooling conditions, and the traffic the pavement needs to support. Our crew will let you know when vehicles can return to the repaired area.
Infrared repair may be possible in colder weather, but scheduling depends on the forecast, pavement condition, and material availability. Contact our team to see if the weather will interfere with your repair.
No. Alligator cracking requires reconstruction because it indicates deeper pavement failure. Sinking pavement needs an evaluation to determine what is happening below the surface. If the underlying support has failed, we need to address that failure instead of simply reworking the asphalt above it.
Your pavement may still have some fight left in it. With more than 50 years of local experience, Asphalt Seal & Repair provides infrared asphalt repair in Green Bay to help commercial properties get more use from their existing pavement.
