Asphalt Repair and Maintenance
Asphalt paving endures wear and tear over time. To maintain its integrity and extend its lifespan, effective repair and maintenance measures are crucial.
Types of Asphalt Repairs
- Patching: Filling potholes, cracks, and other small surface defects using hot or cold asphalt mix.
- Crack Sealing: Sealing cracks with asphalt-based or rubberized sealant to prevent water intrusion and further deterioration.
- Overlay: Placing a new asphalt layer over an existing one to address surface damage and improve ride quality.
Asphalt Maintenance Best Practices
- Regular Inspections: Conducting periodic inspections to identify damage early and schedule repairs promptly.
- Sealcoating: Applying a protective coating to seal the asphalt surface, enhance durability, and reduce water penetration.
- Crack Filling: Sealing even minor cracks to prevent them from widening and compromising the asphalt’s integrity.
- Sweeping and Cleaning: Removing dirt, debris, and vegetation to prevent surface damage and drainage issues.
