Protect Your Pavement With the Go-To Pothole Repair Company

Potholes form when groundwater expands and contracts below the surface of asphalt pavement. Potholes are unsightly and pose safety risks, as they can cause significant damage to the vehicles driving over them. Once an area of the pavement shows signs of failure, we recommend cutting and patching it as soon as possible to restore functionality and minimize damage.

Pave America has a nationwide network of employees ready to handle any asphalt patching or pothole repair project. Through trusted, proven processes and a comprehensive selection of repair solutions, Pave America is your go-to provider for pothole repair and asphalt patching.

The Pothole Repair & Asphalt Patching Process

At Pave America, our pothole repair and asphalt patching processes are informed by decades of experience to deliver the expectation-shattering results.

Our three-step process includes:

Prepare the Surface

Our team starts by cleaning the damaged area to remove loose dirt, vegetation, and other debris. Preparing the surface in this way establishes proper adhesion for the repair material.

Apply the Patch

With the repair material’s adhesion in place, we can fill the pothole or damaged area with the necessary patching material. Depending on the issue, this can be done with hot mix asphalt, cold mix asphalt, or a specialized compound.

Compact the Material

After applying the material, we’ll use a compactor or roller to level the surface. Compacting the material in this fashion makes the surface’s finish smooth, solid, and durable.

Types of Asphalt Patching

Asphalt patching comes in three types: skin patches, partial-depth patches, and full-depth patches. The type of patching utilized depends on the extent of damage.

Skin Patches

Also known as surface patches, skin patches are typically used when the damage doesn’t extend deeper than two inches into the pavement’s surface. They are an economical option, but typically don’t last as long as other patching types.

Partial Depth Patches

Partial-depth patching is the next best option if damages go far below the initial few inches of the pavement’s surface. The success of partial-depth patching depends on the condition of the foundation beneath the damaged area. If the foundation is still in good condition, partial-depth patches will be a cost-effective solution for a couple of years going forward.

Full Depth Patches

Full-depth patching is necessary when the damage is so extensive that it compromises the foundation. Once applied, a full-depth patch allows contractors to work on the foundation for superior longevity.

Infrared Patching

Infrared patching involves using an infrared heating machine to warm up the existing asphalt in the pothole or along the asphalt seam. If you’ve noticed that the pothole or depression has lost too much asphalt, it may be necessary to utilize asphalt scraps or recycled asphalt to properly fill in the gaps.

How Do Potholes Form?

Potholes develop when groundwater below the pavement’s surface expands and contracts. Once a pothole develops, it can spread across other pavement surfaces. While potholes can form in various weather conditions, they are more common during the winter after snow and ice events.
