Settlement Repair

Asphalt Settlement Repair Experts

When maintained properly, asphalt can enjoy a long lifespan in Minnesota. But occasionally, settlement occurs when uneven settling or depression exists below the pavement surface, causing the pavement to sink down. This settlement can lead to far worse problems.

At J&W Asphalt in Burnsville, we use infrared repair to fix settlement problems in the Twin Cities area before they cause serious damage, leaving you with a lasting repair. Check out our reviews to see what previous customers say!

How Infrared Repair Works

  1. To complete an infrared settlement repair, our crew arrives and cleans the area, removing all debris for a clean workspace. Before we begin, we will completely clear the area of stray rocks, mud, dirt, leaves, water, and other debris.
  2. We will then place our infrared heater over the asphalt area where settlement or depression damage occurs for five to 12 minutes. We will use our thermal heater to heat the asphalt until it becomes workable again.
  3. Next, we will add oils to restore the asphalt's structural stability once more and add the new asphalt to the damaged area.
  4. Finally, we will grade and compact the newly mixed asphalt.

Cost-Effective Solution

Infrared repair is a cost-effective solution to settlement. It is a far less costly alternative to replacing the entire driveway. Infrared repair requires a minimal crew and equipment.

Infrared repair also reuses the existing asphalt, making it cheaper and better for the environment. Very little additional material is needed, reducing your environmental footprint!

Lasting Repair

Because the repaired asphalt will thermally bond to the original surface, there will be no cracking. The new asphalt will be stronger than ever, outlasting the life of the existing asphalt around the repair.

The newly bonded surface's structural integrity is free of weaknesses, cut lines or water intrusion points. We guarantee our work with a two-year warranty on all infrared repairs!

2-Year Repair Warranty

At J&W Asphalt, we stand behind all our infrared repairs with a two-year warranty!

Repair FAQs

What type of repair does J&W Asphalt offer?

We offer infrared asphalt repair.

What are the reasons to repair asphalt?

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.

Why is infrared asphalt repair better than cut-and-fill asphalt repair?

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.

How long does the repair process take?

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

When can I drive on the repaired area?

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