How do I know if my pavement needs asphalt repairs?
Our team can get to work repairing your pavement at the first signs of wear and tear. Look for clues such as cracks, pooling water, potholes, and a faded surface. The sooner we repair minor damage, the more resistant your asphalt will be to more extensive damage in the future.
What is the difference between asphalt patching and crack repair?
The services we provide depend on the type of pavement damage and how deep it goes. Asphalt patching is similar to adding a patch to your clothes, in that our team will lay new asphalt to repair large areas of damage, such as potholes. In comparison, crack repair seals small cracks in the pavement before they turn into bigger problems, helping to reduce the need for a patch.
How often should I sealcoat my asphalt pavement?
Sealcoating adds a protective layer to your asphalt that reduces wear and tear over time. This coating prevents UV rays from penetrating the asphalt and drying it out, which keeps your pavement durable while improving its overall lifespan. For best results, our team can sealcoat your pavement every 3 to 5 years depending on where you live and the amount of traffic in the area.
What causes potholes in asphalt?
Asphalt’s greatest enemy is water. When water seeps into the pavement, it can go through the freeze-thaw cycle and cause the pavement to bend and crack. This wears down the pavement over time, making it weaker and more susceptible to damage from heavy traffic. As cars drive over the weakened asphalt, the pressure can cause the pavement to crumble and crack, creating a pothole.
How much do asphalt repairs cost?
The repair costs to fix cracking and potholes vary depending on a variety of factors. This can include the severity of the damage, the size of the area that needs repairs, the method used to repair the pavement, and where you live. Our team at Turner Asphalt can take a look at your pavement and give you a quote before we get to work so you know what you’re getting into.
