With each rainfall, thousands of gallons of water can seep through that crack in your asphalt driveway or parking lot, causing the surface to become soft and uneven. That is why it is so important to seal these cracks with a sealant before winter arrives. Without the protection that a quality asphalt crack filler provides, you are likely to see potholes form in those wet areas.

A pothole is a type of pavement depression caused by water pooling. The depth and size of the hole can vary widely. They can be annoying and dangerous for drivers and their vehicles.

Cold patches are used for temporary repairs, and can be laid in any season. However, hot patches will last longer and provide a more durable repair.

Sealcoating is an asphalt coating that is applied to roadways, driveways, parking lots, and other paved areas. It is a protective coating that helps seal in oils that keep asphalt strong, offers protection from UV rays, oil spills, and water infiltration. As well, it refreshes the dark black color of your asphalt pavement, boosting curb appeal!

Asphalt pavement that has been in service for many years may be showing signs of stress due to aging. Resurfacing is a way of restoring the smoothness of an old road with minimal cost. In resurfacing, the top layer of the existing pavement is removed. A fresh surface layer of either hot mix asphalt, aggregate base, or both is then applied to the top of the fresh sub-base layer.

Regular asphalt maintenance will decrease the likelihood of future costly repairs. Asphalt repair should be addressed at least once a year for driveways, parking lots and roads with high traffic. If there are no significant symptoms of stress, less frequent upkeep is necessary.
