​ Potholes and other Failures

​      Potholes form due to the wear and tear from weather and the amount of traffic on the pavement. They are caused by the
​ expansion and contraction of ice/water after it has entered into the ground under the pavement.

LEVELING

​​Typical potholes are formed as the sub-grade fails beneath it.

Depressions in the asphalt results from improper settling of the asphalt or sub-grade.

​Asphalt can settle causing changes in elevation from other surfaces such as loading ramps or sidewalks.

The Safety of Everyone that comes onto the property is a grave concern to any property owner or manager. Repairing any existing potholes makes the pavement safer. Whether it’s a driveway, parking lot, or walking path, filling potholes will prevent injuries and complaints.

​Potholes are Unsightly but often unavoidable as water and natural deterioration from use over time will cause this type of damage. They also make your property look unkept and neglected. Tending to pothole repair protects your customers and improves the appearance of your property.

Pothole Repair Saves Money If you notice a pothole that is developing on the surface of your parking area, it is usually a sign that there is something wrong with either the water drainage on the property or the formation of the lot. When potholes go un-repaired, it poses a potential risk for further, more expensive damage.
