If you’re starting to see small issues in your asphalt, you may be wondering what kinds of quick fixes you can apply before you need an entire restoration of your pavement. After all, small cracks and holes in your pavement can lead to much bigger and more costly structural damage down the line. Here’s some information on what causes minor deterioration in asphalt, what kinds of damage it can lead to later, and a few tips for how a cut and patch asphalt repair job could help you save big on time, budget, and the safety of your property’s visitors and vehicles.
What to Know About Cut and Patch Repairs Many issues can lead to the need for an asphalt patch repair project, and some of these you might already be seeing in your own pavement. Some of the most common types of minor deterioration to asphalt are cracks, pitting, and potholes. Typically, these are very commonplace in high-traffic areas due to repeated pressure from heavy vehicles and regular foot traffic. Potholes, in particular, are formed when the base and sub-base layers of asphalt are no longer strong enough to support pressure anymore and begin to collapse.
What Kinds of Damage Can Occur if Cracks Are Left Unattended? We discussed the freeze-thaw cycle, and this is one of the prominent causes of cracked asphalt. When moisture seeps into these cracks in the pavement, it can shift, buckle, and collapse during chilly temperatures. But even if you’re not located in a cold climate, moisture seeping into your asphalt’s cracks can cause base degradation, which results in lumpy, bumpy asphalt as the water applies pressure from beneath the surface. “Frost heave” is another common phenomenon. This occurs when soil swells upward during freezing temperatures, causing uneven pavement.
