Massachusetts Asphalt Patching Services
There are many times when asphalt patching may be needed on your parking lot, roads, commercial driveways, etc. Repairing and preventing potholes and cracks is paramount in maintaining the longevity of your asphalt pavement. According to Asphalt Magazine, “If timely maintenance isn’t performed, distresses are compounded…cracks become potholes and potholes become craters.” Cassidy Paving offers extensive asphalt patching services throughout the New England area.
Why Patch?
Patching asphalt is recommended for relatively small asphalt surface defects. Taking care of these in a timely fashion is pivotal for maintaining the integrity of your entire asphalt surface. Issues in asphalt usually appear as hairline cracks and can work their way up to craters in a short time when not addressed. Patching is a quick and cost-efficient way to repair your asphalt when you need relief immediately. Although these are semi-permanent options, experienced contractors like Cassidy Paving will deliver a high-quality repair that ensures no further damage is done. The Washington State Department of Transportation details several asphalt deficiencies that patching helps treat. These include rutting, alligator cracking, longitudinal cracking, transverse cracking, raveling and pitting, flushing, sags and humps, edge raveling, and, of course, potholes.
Patching Options
Most asphalt will need to be patched at some point and it is very common to have to do so. In most cases, there are three popular patching options for deteriorating surfaces. Some of the most popular patching options are the “throw-and-go,” the “throw-and-roll,” and the spray injection method. The throw-and-go technique is used most often in cases where a patch needs to happen in the most expeditious way possible. Contractors literally throw in a patching material and then go. With throw-and-roll, the same materials are loaded in the defect area and compressed with heavy machinery. Spray injections, according to Asphalt Magazine, use high-pressure water to remove debris from the pothole, material is then sprayed, and smoothed into the affected area. The experienced team at Cassidy Paving will work with you to decide what’s the best option for your specific issues and budget. You may need a more extensive patch depending on your specific case that includes base repair or overlay. Depending on how deep the damage is, repair may need to be done to the base. Overlays are most often done when the area is quite large and it doesn’t make sense to be repaired by hand for budgetary reasons. Regardless of the route we take, we know that there is no one-size-fits-all option for patching, or any other type of asphalt work.
