Asphalt Patching
Professional asphalt patching services help maintain the integrity and appearance of your driveway or parking lots. Over time, asphalt surfaces develop wear and tear from traffic, weather conditions, and natural aging, leading to potholes, cracks, and other surface damage. These issues not only affect the look of your property but can pose safety hazards. At Wis-Coat, we deliver exceptional commercial paving services that restore functionality while ensuring long-lasting results.
Understanding Asphalt Deterioration
Potholes and surface deterioration commonly develop in asphalt surfaces due to several factors. Water penetration through cracks is the primary cause. When water seeps underneath the asphalt, it weakens the base and soil beneath. This process becomes more severe in Wisconsin’s climate, where freeze-thaw cycles occur frequently. Water expands when frozen, enlarging cracks and weakening the asphalt structure. When ice melts, it creates gaps beneath the surface, causing the asphalt to collapse and form potholes.
Heavy traffic, particularly from trucks and buses, applies significant pressure on asphalt pavements. This constant stress can cause the asphalt to deteriorate, especially in areas with existing damage. As asphalt ages, it becomes more brittle and susceptible to damage. Regular maintenance like sealcoating can extend the life of your asphalt driveway or parking lot.
Poor installation by contractors can lead to premature asphalt failure. Issues may arise from inadequate base layer compaction, insufficient pavement thickness, or low-quality materials.
Professional Asphalt Maintenance
Regular inspection and maintenance of asphalt surfaces is essential. This includes addressing small damages before they escalate into major repair projects. Proper maintenance significantly extends asphalt life and prevents severe deterioration. A small pothole left unrepaired can grow in size quickly, become a safety hazard and be more costly to repair.
Cold Patching
Cold asphalt patching is a quick, temporary solution often used until a more permanent repair can be made. This method, known as “Throw and Roll,” involves filling the pothole with cold mix asphalt and compacting it using a roller or plate compactor. Cold asphalt patches are a practical option for addressing urgent safety concerns for pedestrians and vehicles.
Infrared Asphalt Repairs
Infrared asphalt repair involves blending new asphalt with the existing material to create a seamless, thermally bonded repair. This method provides a permanent solution for areas where the base remains intact. It is environmentally friendly, minimizes waste, and reduces disruption, making it an efficient and appealing option for many customers.
Skin PatchingThis specialized technique addresses minor surface damage where the top layer has deteriorated but the base remains stable. It’s a cost-effective solution for small distressed areas, serving as an intermediate fix until more comprehensive repairs can be performed.
Full-Depth Asphalt Patching
Full-depth asphalt patching is a comprehensive repair method that involves removing damaged sections of asphalt, addressing or replacing the underlying base materials, and filling the area with new asphalt. This approach is ideal for situations where both the pavement and the base have experienced significant failure. It restores the pavement’s structural integrity and functionality, providing a durable, long-term solution.
Each repair method has its specific uses and advantages. The best choice depends on the type and severity of the damage.
