How to Know If You Need Asphalt Patching

Asphalt patching is used to repair localized damage, preventing deterioration from spreading. Here are key signs that indicate patching is necessary:

  • Visible potholes and deep cracks affecting driveability and safety.
  • Uneven or sinking pavement, suggesting foundational issues.
  • Water pooling in specific areas, which can lead to further erosion.

Signs Your Pavement Needs Seal Coating

Seal coating is a preventative solution that helps protect asphalt surfaces from moisture, UV rays, and chemical spills. Consider seal coating if you notice:

  • Faded asphalt color, which indicates exposure damage.
  • Minor surface cracks, before they expand and require costly repairs.
  • Loss of smoothness, making the pavement harder to clean and maintain.

Why Regular Maintenance Matters

Neglecting small repairs can lead to major structural damage, requiring full resurfacing or reconstruction. By investing in asphalt patching and seal coating, property owners extend pavement longevity and reduce long-term costs.
