Repair Damaged Asphalt
Asphalt is composed of mineral aggregates, mainly sand and rock. The rocks vary in size, depending on the type of construction they're being used for. Over time, asphalt can break down and cracks and holes begin to appear.
Asphalt Maintenance has the experience and tools to repair any damage to your asphalt. Our step-by-step process will keep your areas free from holes and cracks.
How Does Asphalt Break Down?
There are three main reasons for asphalt to break down: weather, asphalt is too thin, or there is base failure.
- Sun and rain cause oxidation to slowly break down the asphalt binder, leaving only the aggregate exposed.
- Thin asphalt can be caused by improper installation combined with natural oxidation. Thin asphalt will become brittle, and constant traffic flow will cause potholes to appear over time.
- Base failure is caused when water penetrates weak asphalt and makes its way to the base. This can be the most expensive damage to repair, since both the asphalt and base material will need to be replaced.
