Potholes! We’ve all seen them. Those pesky, ankle grabbing, tire biting monsters that sometimes seem to come from nowhere! A simple and effective way to deal with parking lot potholes and other pavement problems is asphalt pothole patching, which replaces damaged asphalt instead of just filling in a pothole.
Only an experienced paving company like Gann Asphalt & Concrete Inc can perform asphalt patching services to the highest level of workmanship to save your parking lot without costing a fortune. Let’s look at how
The Pothole Patching Process
- Using pavement saws or pneumatic hammers, paving contractors cut around the pothole in a square.
- Excavate broken asphalt from the area. This asphalt can be recycled!
- Perform any necessary repairs to the base layer to ensure stable pavement.
- Apply a sticky coating to the edges to ensure good adhesion with the new asphalt.
- Hot asphalt is poured into the excavated area, spread carefully, then compacted with special rolling equipment to match the elevation of existing pavement.
- Often, a sealcoating is recommended to make the entire asphalt surface look smooth and protect the pavement from further deterioration.
Benefits of Asphalt Patch Repairs
- Prevents property damage and vehicle accidents
- Saves time over more involved repair methods
- Target specific areas of damage without having to replace the whole parking lot
- More permanent repair than just filling potholes with cold mix asphalt
