Common causes of asphalt deterioration are weathering, drainage problems, excessive loads, and fluids from leaky vehicles.
We can repair asphalt problems in various ways, depending on the nature and extent of the damage. These methods include:
Remove and Replace
This is the preferred repair method when the base of the asphalt has been damaged. The area is saw-cut at the edge of the deteriorated area, the asphalt and stone are removed, and the base is inspected. New stone is installed as needed and compacted thoroughly to stabilize the base. Hot asphalt is then added to the proper thickness and rolled to match the surrounding elevations.
Infrared Driveway Repair
Favored for its ability to create a quick, seamless patch in areas that do not have serious structural or sub-grade deterioration, this method uses "invisible" infrared heat to recycle existing asphalt. Our equipment produces intense infrared wavelengths to penetrate the surface of the existing asphalt and heat it to a depth necessary to scarify and repair the damaged area. With the addition of fresh asphalt, the area is compacted and leveled up to grade. The result is a water-resistant, seamless repair with heat-welded edges.
Overlay Resurfacing
This option is recommended only when the existing asphalt base is in good shape or if you are looking for a lower-cost quick fix. First, we remove any loose debris from the area and apply a layer of tack (glue). Asphalt is then added to the desired thickness and then compacted. Because skin patches are added to the top of existing asphalt, they may appear slightly raised and rougher than the surrounding asphalt.
