Damaged Asphalt Repair Twin Cities

Whether in your business or home, potholes create an unnecessary liability. Vehicles that pass over potholes are subject to several forms of damage. This vehicular damage can include damaged suspensions, damaged tires, punctured tires, and bent wheels.

Additionally, potholes create a driveway, parking lot, and even roadway hazard for pedestrians, who can trip over and become injured. A trip-and-fall accident caused by a pothole can exceed tens of thousands of dollars in medical expenses. Potholes can even lead to automobile accidents.

These types of accidents are entirely preventable with a speedy infrared repair. Legally, potholes are the responsibility of a home or business owner, so make the time and get those potholes fixed ASAP!

Potholes occur when water weakens the soil or surface underneath the pavement. This can occur with insufficient drainage, extreme freeze and thaw cycles, or pavement defects.

With a weakened structure beneath the pavement, the asphalt is unable to withstand the traffic above and begins to break down. Eventually, both the asphalt and the material below it give way, leaving a cavity in the surface of the pavement.

Here are the top signs you need pothole repair:

• Visible Damage: If you notice cracks, depressions, or holes forming in your asphalt, it's time to act. Potholes detract from appearance and can quickly grow, causing costly damage.
• Water Pooling: Standing water in or around potholes is a clear warning sign. This indicates water intrusion, which erodes the asphalt base and accelerates pavement deterioration.
• Vehicle or Pedestrian Hazards: If your lot or roadway feels rough to drive on or creates tripping risks for pedestrians, pothole repair is essential. Prompt action prevents accidents and further damage.

Using infrared technology, we heat the existing damaged asphalt to make it workable again.

Next, our crews add more oils, binders, and hot mix asphalt.

We then level and roll the asphalt, which binds the new and original asphalts together and restores your pavement to its original height.

The newly repaired pavement will bond to existing asphalt thermally, creating a seamless, beautiful repair.

Traditional repairs leave an unsightly milling line known as a cut line. Water can intrude in this line, causing eventual damage. An infrared repair completely fixes the problem without creating any new ones. It is an ecologically sound choice because infrared technology uses existing asphalt to repair damaged pavement.

Infrared repair is:

• Environmentally friendly
• Economically smart
• Minimally invasive

Infrared repair requires a relatively small crew size and less equipment, making it a cost-effective solution. The technology also means we can finish the job quickly, getting you up and running again faster.

The most common reason to repair asphalt is because the material under the garage apron has settled.

Other reasons are damage to the asphalt from heavy trucks, such as delivery vehicles, or other heavy utilities, such as dumpsters.

Infrared asphalt repair is seamless. It combines the existing asphalt with new asphalt and binders without cutting into the asphalt.

Cutting will leave seams that will allow water in and destroy the repair and material beneath the repair.

The repair process will only take 1-3 hours, depending on the size of the repair.

You can drive on the area that was just repaired the next day, after the repair is completed.
