#Asphalt Repair & Maintenance Services
**Asphalt** is one of the most common pavement surfaces used for driveways, parking lots, roads and more. Over time, asphalt can deteriorate and require repair and maintenance to keep it looking its best and functioning properly. Our asphalt repair and maintenance services can help extend the life of your asphalt surfaces.
##Common Asphalt Problems That Require Repair
There are several common issues that can arise with asphalt surfaces that require repair:
Cracks - Cracks in asphalt are extremely common and are caused by the asphalt expanding and contracting due to temperature changes. If left unrepaired, cracks will continue to grow larger allowing water penetration which leads to further damage.
Potholes - Potholes form when water penetrates cracks and deteriorates the pavement under the surface. Repeated traffic over the weak spot causes the pavement to collapse inward forming a hole. Potholes that are left unfilled will continue to grow larger.
Raveling - This occurs when the top layer of aggregate comes loose and begins to wear away. Sealing and resurfacing can repair raveling before the subgrade becomes damaged.
Fatigue Cracking - Fine spiderweb-like cracks on the surface caused by repeated traffic loads over time. They should be sealed before growing larger.
Bird Baths - Depressions in the pavement that collect water. Water pooling leads to premature failure. These depressed areas need to be backfilled and resurfaced.
Rutting - Longitudinal depressions in the wheel path caused by consolidated or displaced pavement under repeated traffic loads. Rutting needs to be repaired quickly before accelerating.
Shoving and Pushing - Occurs when vehicles brake or turn on the asphalt causing bulging and ripples. The pavement needs to be replaced in cases of severe shoving.
Asphalt Repair Options
Here are some of the most common asphalt repair options we offer to remedy pavement problems:
- Crack Sealing - This involves clearing debris from cracks, applying a liquid sealant and filling the crack. This helps prevent water intrusion.
- Pothole Patching - We excavate around the pothole, square off the area and fill it with new hot mix asphalt. This is a temporary repair.
- Mill and Overlay - Milling off the top layer of pavement and overlaying it with new asphalt. This corrects significant surface problems.
- Full Depth Reclamation - pulverizing and stabilizing the deteriorated asphalt in place then paving over it. This is best for roads with extensive damage.
- Asphalt Replacement - Excavating and disposing of damaged asphalt and replacing it with all new pavement. This offers the longest lasting repair.
##Asphalt Maintenance Tips
Proper **asphalt** maintenance is key for extending the lifespan of your pavement. Here are some helpful tips:
- Perform regular sweeping to keep the pavement free of loose debris that can cause abrasion.
- Fill cracks as soon as they appear to prevent water intrusion and further widening.
- Sealcoat every 2-3 years to protect against raveling and oxidation. Be sure to hire a reputable company.
- Trees near asphalt should be trimmed to prevent root damage and dripping sap.
- Immediately repair any potholes, depressions, rutting or bulging areas.
- Re-stripe faded pavement markings for clearer traffic lanes, parking spots, etc.
- Monitor pavement for signs of fatigue cracks and treat early before they spread.
- Apply winter salt sparingly as oversalting can lead to chemical degradation of asphalt.
- Avoid using plow blades on asphalt which can scratch and gouge the surface. Use rubber plow blades instead.
Regular asphalt repairs, sealcoating and sweeping will go a long way towards preventing larger problems down the road.
