  • What are the signs that my asphalt needs maintenance?

  • What is crack filling and why is it necessary?

    Crack filling involves applying a hot or cold sealant to cracks in the asphalt to prevent water from entering and causing further damage. It's necessary to prevent cracks from expanding and leading to more serious pavement issues.

  • How is pothole repair performed?

    Pothole repair can be done by cleaning the pothole, applying a tack coat, filling it with hot or cold asphalt mix, and then compacting the area to ensure a smooth, durable surface. This process prevents further damage and enhances driving safety.

  • How can I prevent potholes from forming?

    Regular maintenance like crack filling and sealcoating, proper drainage, and addressing any issues as soon as they arise can significantly reduce the likelihood of potholes forming.

  • What is sealcoating and what are its benefits?

    Sealcoating is the application of a protective layer over asphalt to shield it from damage caused by UV rays, water, oils, and chemicals. Benefits include extending the pavement's lifespan, improving appearance, and making the surface easier to clean.

  • How long does it take for sealcoating to dry?

    Sealcoating typically takes 24-48 hours to dry completely, depending on weather conditions. It's important to keep the area free from traffic during this time to ensure a durable finish.

  • How often should asphalt be sealcoated?

    Typically, asphalt should be sealcoated every 2-3 years. However, the frequency can vary depending on traffic volume, weather conditions, and the overall condition of the pavement.

  • Can sealcoating fill small cracks and holes?

    Sealcoating can fill very minor surface imperfections, but it is not a substitute for crack filling or pothole repair. It works best as a preventative measure to protect the pavement.

  • Can asphalt maintenance be done in any weather?

    Asphalt maintenance is best performed in warm, dry conditions. Cold or wet weather can affect the effectiveness of treatments like crack filling and sealcoating. Spring through early fall are ideal seasons. We can do pothole repair during the winter months. 

  • What can I do to prepare my property for asphalt maintenance?

    Clear the area of any vehicles and obstacles.  If there are any scheduled deliveries or events, reschedule them to avoid conflicts during maintenance.
