Patch & Repair

Grand Rapids Asphalt Specialists is your “Go To” company for asphalt repair. Potholes are the most common form of asphalt failure that require immediate repair and/or asphalt replacement. Potholes are open holes where the asphalt has not only cracked but broken away and separated from a section of the asphalt, creating a void and exposed base rock. There are several potential causes for the formation of potholes. The following can all be root causes or combination causes for their formation:

Asphalt is too thin
Asphalt is too old
Poor Drainage (Standing Water)
Cracks that have not been sealed
Weather Conditions (Freezing water that causes expansion)

Luckily, Grand Rapids Asphalt Specialist are your hometown pro’s at asphalt repair and patching. Potholes, sunken areas, and alligator cracking in asphalt can be fixed relatively easily via localized patching. How the patch is completed will determine if it will hold up to new traffic loads and weather, or if it will fail again. Here are a few methods that can be used to fix potholes:

Cut around the entire perimeter of pothole
Remove entire section of pothole
Apply Tack Coat to base
Apply hot mixed asphalt (or a cold-mix, permanent option like Aquapatch)
Compact mixture to same height as surrounding asphalt
