What are the Different Types of Asphalt Damage?
Asphalt can sustain different types of damage depending on the age of the pavement, weather conditions, and traffic volume.
- Cracks: Small cracks can form on the surface of the pavement due to temperature changes or aging. These cracks can expand over time, allowing water to seep in and cause more damage.
- Potholes: Potholes are holes in the pavement that form due to heavy traffic or water damage. Potholes can be dangerous for vehicles and pedestrians and should be repaired promptly.
- Fading: Over time, asphalt can lose its color and become gray or brown due to UV radiation and weather conditions.
How to Restore Your Asphalt Surface
- Crack filling: Small cracks can be filled with asphalt emulsion or hot pour crack filler to prevent water from seeping in and causing further damage.
- Pothole repair: Potholes can be filled with hot mix asphalt or cold patch asphalt. Cold patch is a temporary fix and may need to be replaced with hot mix asphalt.
- Resurfacing: If your pavement has significant damage or fading, resurfacing may be necessary. This involves adding a new layer of asphalt on top of the existing surface.
How Often Is Asphalt Repair Needed?
The frequency of asphalt repair depends on several factors, including the age of the pavement, weather conditions, traffic volume, and maintenance practices.
Newly constructed asphalt surfaces may not need repair for several years, while older surfaces may require repair more frequently. On average, asphalt surfaces may require repair every 3-5 years, but this can vary widely depending on the conditions.
Cracks are one of the most common types of damage that occur on asphalt surfaces. Small cracks can be filled with crack filler to prevent water from seeping in and causing further damage. It is recommended to inspect your pavement regularly for cracks and repair them as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
Potholes are another type of damage that can occur on asphalt surfaces. They are often caused by heavy traffic, weather conditions, or water damage. Potholes should be repaired promptly to prevent them from getting bigger and causing accidents or vehicle damage.
Asphalt repair is essential for maintaining the appearance and safety of your pavement. Small cracks and potholes can lead to significant damage if left unattended. By repairing your pavement promptly, you can improve its appearance, extend its lifespan, and ensure the safety of those who use it.
