FAQs

  • What is asphalt patching?

    Asphalt patching is a repair technique used to fix damaged or deteriorated areas of asphalt pavement. It involves removing the damaged asphalt and replacing it with new asphalt material to restore the integrity and functionality of the surface.

  • What are the common causes of asphalt damage that require patching?

    Asphalt damage can occur due to various factors, including:

    • Potholes caused by water infiltration, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy traffic
    • Cracks and fissures resulting from aging, weathering, and traffic stress
    • Surface erosion due to water runoff, oil spills, or chemical exposure
    • Structural failures caused by inadequate pavement thickness or subgrade support

  • When should asphalt patching be performed?

    Asphalt patching should be performed as soon as signs of damage are noticed to prevent further deterioration and safety hazards. Prompt patching can help minimize the extent of repairs needed and prolong the lifespan of the pavement.

  • How is asphalt patching done?

    Asphalt patching typically involves the following steps:

    1. Preparation: The damaged area is cleaned of debris, vegetation, and loose material.

    2. Cutting: The perimeter of the damaged area is squared off or cut to create clean edges for the patch.

    3. Removal: The damaged asphalt is excavated or milled out to remove all compromised material.

    4. Repair: New asphalt material is placed and compacted into the excavated area to match the surrounding pavement level.

    5. Compaction: The patched area is compacted using specialized equipment to ensure proper density and adhesion.

    6. Finishing: The patch is finished to blend seamlessly with the surrounding pavement and provide a smooth surface.


  • What types of asphalt patching methods are available?

    Common asphalt patching methods include:

    • Throw-and-roll patching: Suitable for temporary repairs, involves filling the pothole with asphalt mix and compacting it by rolling over with heavy equipment.
    • Semi-permanent patching: Involves cleaning the damaged area, applying tack coat, placing hot mix asphalt, and compacting it with vibratory rollers for a more durable repair.
    • Full-depth patching: Used for extensive damage, involves removing all layers of damaged asphalt and replacing them with new asphalt material, including subgrade repair if necessary.

  • Why is it important to wait before driving on patched asphalt?

    Allowing adequate time for the patched asphalt to cure is crucial for ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of the repair. Driving on freshly patched asphalt before it has fully cured may compromise the integrity of the repair, leading to premature deterioration or failure of the patched area. Following the recommended curing time helps optimize the performance and durability of the patch.
