The Asphalt Patching Process

Our asphalt patching process is designed to provide custom solutions to potholes and failed areas on your property. Our team has the expertise to deliver customized solutions that meet your property’s demands. 

Here’s a look at our process: 

Prepare the Surface

We start by thoroughly inspecting the existing roadway, parking lot, or commercial driveway to confirm the target problem areas. We’ll then prepare for patching by clearing out any debris or obstacles to create a safe and solid surface. This ensures proper application of the patching material so it provides a strong and long-lasting surface.

Apply the Patch

During application, we’ll fill the pothole using one of our several proven methods, including surface, partial-depth, full-depth, or infrared patches. Our experienced contractors will determine the most suitable method for your surface based on the extent of the damage and current weather conditions. 

Compact the Material

Lastly, once the patching or new asphalt is applied, we use industrial-grade compactors to smooth and even out the surface. This final step will enhance the surface’s appearance, provide a safer and more enjoyable experience for drivers and pedestrians, and extend its overall longevity.

Key Benefits of Pothole Repairs

Invest in timely pothole asphalt repair to significantly increase your property’s value and efficiency and unlock several benefits: 

How Do Potholes Form?

Potholes are both unsightly and unsafe to have near your business. They pose a significant risk to visitors and employees, causing decreased road conditions and visibility that your business could be liable for. 

Potholes are a common symptom of pavement wear and tear, especially in high-traffic areas like commercial lots and roadways. They form when moisture, such as water, oils, or other substances from above ground, penetrates below the pavement’s surface. This causes the pavement structure to weaken, and when cars and foot traffic come into contact with it, the weight will shift, loosen, and break the surface.

How To Prevent Potholes From Forming

Heavy and consistent traffic is a sign of a successful business, but it also puts added stress on your pavement. Over time, this wear and tear can lead to cracks and potholes if left unaddressed. 

Stay ahead of pothole formation through proactive care and regular maintenance from PLM Paving, your trusted paving and pothole repair company. 

We are here to help you implement these standard pavement maintenance practices to extend the lifespan of your surfaces:

  • Routine Cleaning: Regularly cleaning your surfaces helps eliminate dirt and debris buildup that can lead to structural issues and decreased curb appeal. 
  • Fill Patches or Cracks Right Away: Don’t let minor cracks or potholes sit. Get them repaired immediately to avoid them from developing into severe issues that require extensive repairs or replacements. 
  • Routine Sealcoating: PLM Paving’s sealcoating services add an extra barrier of protection to your existing surfaces against future UV rays, oil and water contact, and the elements, effectively slowing down pavement deterioration. 
  • Proper Drainage Systems: Moisture and water intrusion are one of the highest risks to your pavement’s structural integrity. Having a proper drainage system in place helps avoid standing water that can lead to extensive cracks or potholes.  
  • Clean Up Oil: Vehicle oils can penetrate and weaken pavement surfaces over time, leading to premature wear and potential potholes. Regularly inspect and clean up any oil spills to protect the pavement’s integrity.
