Pavement Maintenance

If your looking for a permanent pavement repair for areas that are "spiderwebbed" or "alligatored", We recommend cut out patching. This process includes removal and replacement of the damaged pavements and correction of failing sub-base. This type of repair leaves a flush transition from old to new pavement.

Scab patching is the industry term for a free standing patch, that is installed right on top of the existing pavement surface. If cost is major concern or your just looking to buy some time we recommend this route. Loose damaged pavements are removed, the area is swept clean of dirt and debris, an SS1 tack is applied to the damaged area (adhesion promoter) and the pavement is poured right on top. While smoothing out the damaged pavements and filling the hole, this type of repair has a noticeable lip or edge where the new asphalt meets the ecxisting surface.

   When it comes to maintaining asphalt pavements. Sealcoating is commonly met with skepticism. Often, customers question the benefits of sealcoating. But when properly applied, sealcoating is a cost effective and beneficial product for any driveway or commercial parking lot. 

   The main purpose of asphalt sealants are to function as a protective barrier, minimizing water penetration and shielding your driveway or commercial parking lot from other irritants such as UV rays, salt, oils, anti-freeze and gas. Reducing moisture infiltration helps to mitigates cracks caused by natural expansion and contraction of the pavement. Protection from the sun and other chemicals also slows your pavement's structural breakdown. Sealants also fill surface blemishes and help prevent oxidation (fading of pavement). A fresh, jet-black surface increases curb appeal. It also serves as a nice contrast to line striping, which helps shoppers easily and safely navigate your parking lots.
