3 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.

Go Deeper: Why Do Potholes Occur?

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.

Did You Know Potholes Are a Liability in Minnesota?

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!

What Makes Infrared Repair a Cost-Effective Solution?

By its very nature, infrared pothole repair is a much more cost-effective solution than other forms of pavement repair. It reuses materials, which translates into less expense on your end. It also necessitates a minimal investment of employee resources and equipment.

Finally, because it is much quicker than outdated forms of asphalt repair, this limits the amount of time your drive or parking lot is shut down, getting you back on track fast.
