On a practical note, timely pavement fixing can prevent bigger and costlier issues down the road while ensuring the safety of both pedestrians and vehicles.
Alligator cracking is a sign of significant wear and tear on asphalt surfaces. It’s aptly named thanks to its resemblance to the rough skin of alligators and crocodiles. This type of cracking typically indicates an issue with the subbase of the asphalt, often arising from water damage or excessive weight on the surface.
Potholes are a common menace on parking lots and driveways, and they’re as dangerous as they are annoying. They form when water seeps into the cracks of the asphalt, compromising the material from below. Colorado’s freeze and thaw cycles exacerbate this damage. When the trapped water freezes, it expands, making the hole larger and larger until it forms a pothole.
Birdbaths and other depressions in asphalt surfaces are more than mere aesthetic issues. They’re indicative of compaction problems or insufficient asphalt thickness.
Birdbaths are shallow, circular depressions filled with water, resembling a small pond or puddle. Other depressions may be irregularly shaped and accumulate water or debris, leading to further asphalt damage.
How to Address Common Asphalt Damage?
Timely repair is crucial to prevent further deterioration. For asphalt cracking, we’ll apply a special patch designed to seal the cracks.
Birdbaths and potholes can be patched using an infrared asphalt heater. But what exactly is infrared patching and how does it benefit your pavement? What sets it apart from other asphalt repair methods?
With infrared patching, the asphalt is heated by a machine to a certain temperature until the aggregates separate from each other. Now that the asphalt is pliant, the area is reworked using a rake or an asphalt lute. Hot asphalt millings are added to make the area level. We then refresh the asphalt with some rejuvenator before it is compacted.
Infrared patching is economical and efficient. It takes less than 20 minutes to fix one pothole, and you don’t need to replace the whole surface just because of a few imperfections!
We’ll discuss other options with you if we find extensive damage to your parking lot that can’t be remedied with a simple asphalt patch or infrared repair.
