POTHOLE PATCHING

Water seeps into asphalt cracks and slowly bleed and spread into other areas of the pavement foundation, causing it to erode and crack under pressure from vehicle loads. In winter months, the water freezes and expands, making the cracks bigger – leading to even more potholes.

Don’t wait until that pothole becomes bigger and your driveway or parking lot needs to be replaced entirely – have it repaired ASAP!

The appearance of even a small pothole in your asphalt pavement should grab your attention immediately. Potholes are indicators that you left the preventative mode and entered a reactive approach to your asphalt pavement management. It’s not too late to get back on track but you need an asphalt patch right away. Not only are they ugly and unappealing to you or your customers which can affect your sales/curb appeal, but they cause physical damage to vehicle tires and suspensions – also acting as tripping hazards to pedestrians carrying bulk items, strollers or shopping carts – which creates legal liability issues for you that you don’t need! Pothole puddles also freeze and cause customers to slip and fall.

 So take care of those chuckholes ASAP. DocAsphalt has solutions for proper asphalt patching in all climate conditions. Call us today for a demo of our advanced infrared pothole patcher to see how we can install the highest quality repair during the winter season ahead of the freeze/thaw cycle in the transition to spring. It’s not too late to get back to a preventative maintenance schedule. Once you become a client of DocAsphalt, we become your pavement asset manager and treat it like it’s our own and minimize your cost going forward.

The good news is that you can completely avoid this costly reactive mistake by taking a cost-effective, proactive approach. Once you become a client of DocAsphalt, we monitor your pavement asset for you on an annual basis. Because potholes stem from progression of minor damage like raveling (material pop out) and cracks, DocAsphalt will put your second most valuable asset (your pavement) on a preventative monitoring program to avoid the development of potholes in the first place. Once multiple potholes begin to develop in your asphalt pavement, you can expect that repaving will be required.
