The Asphalt Patching Process
Prepare the Surface
Before we get to work laying the new asphalt, our crew will clear the surface of any dirt, leaves, or other debris to create a smooth base for the patch. This ensures the patch will stick properly and last a long time.
Apply the Patch
Now that the surface is clear, we’ll fill the pothole with the appropriate patch materials.
Compact the Material
With the materials in place, we’ll use specialized equipment to compact the material to create a smooth, durable finish.
Key Benefits of Pothole Repair
Potholes and large gaps in the pavement are more than just an eyesore. These holes are serious safety hazards for both pedestrians and drivers, as they can lead to tripping or popped car tires. A professional pothole repair service from Asphalt Seal & Repair offers many benefits for your commercial property, including:
Improved Road Safety: Potholes are a danger to cars on the road, especially in areas where cars are traveling at higher speeds. If a car hits a pothole, there’s a serious risk of a popped tire, scratches to the frame of the car, and even significant damage to the underside of the vehicle. Drivers will also try to avoid potholes they see in the road, which can lead to swerving. This overcorrection from drivers greatly increases the risk of car accidents. Repairing potholes quickly improves driving conditions and keeps drivers safe as they commute.
Prolong Asphalt Lifespan: Damage such as potholes weakens your pavement and makes it susceptible to further damage. Acting fast and scheduling an asphalt repair protects your pavement from future damage and can help prolong its overall lifespan. This saves you the hassle and expense of replacing the pavement or investing in more extensive repair services.
Improved Driving Experience: A smooth road makes for a better experience for drivers as they commute to work or school. Potholes and other gaps can make the drive bumpy and leave drivers in a foul mood behind the wheel. Repairing potholes quickly can make a lasting impression for drivers or visitors who come by your business, creating a positive experience that will have them coming back.
Preserved Structural Integrity:
Wear and tear over time results in damaged asphalt paving, including potholes and cracks. Once these potholes form, they become a weak spot in the overall pavement. When it rains, water will pool in the pothole and sit there, which allows moisture to seep further into the pavement and cause more damage. Not only that, but traffic moving over the pothole slowly chips away at the pavement and can lead to further damage over time. Patching potholes keeps the pavement durable and improves its structural integrity. The stronger the pavement is overall, the longer it will last with less costly damage over time.
What Causes Potholes?
Water is the culprit behind the potholes in your pavement. When groundwater and rainwater seep into the pavement, it can freeze and expand. This causes the asphalt to bend and crack, which weakens the pavement over time and leaves it vulnerable to further water damage.
When cars drive over the weakened pavement, the pressure can break the asphalt into chunks and displace them, creating unsightly potholes. As the pavement breaks and gets weaker, it’s going to break even more in a continuous cycle.
How to Prevent Potholes from Forming?
No one wants to deal with massive holes in their pavement, and it can be a hassle to fill them. There are a handful of things you can do to strengthen your pavement over time and help prevent potholes from forming, including:
- Keep up with regular inspections.
- Keep your pavement clean.
- Ensure your pavement has adequate drainage.
- When cracks and minor damage appear, schedule repairs as soon as possible.
Types of Asphalt Patches
If your pavement starts to crack or develop potholes, our team offers a few patching options to get the job done. Some offer short-term fixes as you look for other solutions, while others offer durable and long-term results. At Asphalt Seal & Repair, we work with a variety of asphalt patches to make sure your pavement is built to last, including:
Skin Patches
Skin patches work to cover isolated areas of pavement and temporarily patch minor cracks and potholes. Our team will cover the area with a new layer of asphalt and compress it into a smooth finish. This short-term option protects your pavement from further damage and helps it last longer while you look into more extensive repair options.
Partial Depth Patches
Partial depth patches involve removing and repairing the pavement’s topmost layer rather than the pothole’s complete depth. This works for isolated pavement damage in one area, and it creates a smooth finish by the end. Our team will remove the topmost layer of damaged pavement and add the patch to cover the hole.
Full Depth Patches
While partial patches take care of the surface damage, full depth patches fill the complete depth of the pothole. We recommend these patches for potholes and other damage that goes deep into the pavement’s foundation. These patches strengthen the entire pavement and ensure the repair will last.
