Our experienced paving contractors can get your commercial parking lot or residential driveway back to full function in no time.
How Potholes Form in Asphalt Pavement
- The freeze/thaw cycle is responsible for many asphalt issues, including potholes. Here’s how water and temperature can break down asphalt.
- Improper drainage causes water to pool on the surface and sink down into the asphalt.
- Temperatures drop and the water freezes, expanding and breaking up the asphalt binder, exposing aggregates inside.
- If not repaired, more water can flow deeper into the pavement, only to freeze and break it up more.
- The damage goes all the way down into the gravel underlayer, compromising pavement integrity.
- A pothole is formed, and it gets filled with broken asphalt, dirt, leaves, and more water. If not professionally repaired, this damage can cause deep cracks and sinking in nearby areas.
