Asphalt Patching

Some smaller issues and potholes can just be cleaned out and filled in without needing to be cut. 

Asphalt patching is usually a viable solution when you're experiencing one of the following issues: poor surface draining, small potholes, or are looking for a more cost-effective short term solution to asphalt resurfacing or completely repaving the area. In certain situations where the potholes may be too large, the cracking is too extensive, or there is an issue with the base material, patching may not be a viable option and the entire section may need to be removed and replaced. Following the winter months, many homes and business may be in need of pothole repair, this is a repair that you don't want to let go for long without addressing. The longer you wait, the more extensive the asphalt repair may be.

When deciding that patching is the correct approach, there are multiple different methods. 

• The throw-and-roll method is used in the winter or when adverse weather makes it impossible to perform a longer-term fix. Liquid asphalt is piped into the hole, and it begins to set as soon as it reacts with the air.
• Semi-permanent patching is a longer-term solution but requires more prep works and less inclement weather conditions. Debris is first removed from the area, and then the area to be patched is cut back before the hole is filled with patch mix and compacted with a roller.
• The spray injection method is similar to semi-permanent patching. The patching mix is injected into the hole under high pressure and does not require to be rolled or compacted. This repair can also happen in adverse weather conditions. 
• Full-depth patching is the most permanent of the repair methods listed. For this repair, the afflicted area is excavated to a depth of 4 inches and a foot into the neighboring asphalt to provide more support.
