Hot Asphalt Repair Questions

1) There are some small holes in my pavement, what can be done?
We can repair these holes with hot mix asphalt. Small pothole repairs in home driveways can usually be accomplished at a minimal cost. More extensive asphalt repairs may require saw cutting and removal.

2) Can depressions in my driveway be repaired without saw cutting and removal?
Yes...in many situations a thin hot asphalt overlay is sufficient to take care of the depression.

3) Will hot asphalt overlays stay in place?
Yes...First, the pavement surface is cleaned, then chalk lines are snapped around the perimeter of the depressed area for a neat appearance. A bonding agent is then applied. This allows the hot asphalt patch to remain in place for the life of the driveway.

4) Under what circumstances do you saw cut and remove an area in pavement?
Alligatored areas, as we refer to them are areas that have several short cracks that all meet together forming a larger area that is cracked and must be saw cut, removed and the area disposed of. As well, badly oil soaked areas will be treated in the same manner. Generally most repairs in parking lots will be saw cut and removal.

5) What can neglecting repairs to my parking lot mean for me?
Insurance industry statistics for commercial properties, show that major liability losses result year after year, from trips and falls in parking areas. Negligence is the basis for liability in the majority of personal injury claims. So don't get caught by the liability trap. Check your parking areas for damage and deterioration that could send a tenant, guests and customers to act on personal injury claims and expensive lawsuits.
