Asphalt Patching / Repair

Patching potholes is a common repair in Michigan. Potholes occur when water gets into pavement through unsealed or improperly sealed cracks. Then when the weather gets cold the water freezes and expands, as a result the crack is enlarged. When the weather warms the ice melts and the water dissipates leaving a void which then collapses and forms a pothole. Depending on the season and site location, typical repairs involve filling the potholes with either hot or cold asphalt mix and leveling.

Patching potholes is best carried out during moderate weather. However, emergency repairs may require patching during poor winter weather conditions. In these situations the repair should be considered temporary and a good strategy is to plan for a more permanent repair when the weather improves.

Asphalt edge failures happen when the edge of the pavement breaks up. Edges failures can be caused by traffic loading at the edge of the pavement, infiltration of water, aggressive-growth vegetation, and  wind from the atmosphere or traffic. The presence of edge failures can accelerate the normal deterioration of pavement and should be repaired as soon as possible.

Our repair crews can handle any asphalt patching or catch basin repair you may require. We put as much importance on repair work as we do on major paving jobs and all small jobs are important to us.
