Infared Patching

Infared Asphalt Patch 1 of 4

Infrared patching results in a truly seamless repair.

Since it's a seamless repair, there is no need to crack fill around the edges.

Infrared patching is ideal for fixing low spots, or poorly drained areas.

Since there is no cutting & removing of old asphalt, it can be less expensive then traditional asphalt patching.

Infrared patching is a means of permanently repairing asphalt. It is ideal for: sunken asphalt, poorly drained areas, uneven joints, grade changes and potholes. Infrared repairs are permanent, seamless, low cost and match existing asphalt better than any other method.

Garage Transitions

Infared Garage Wedge 1 of 8

Our Garage Wedge service typically uses this infrared heating unit.

It's commonly used to raise the asphalt to grade next to garages, houses, sidewalks, etc.

If the base hasn't failed, a 5 ft. screen can be placed on top of the area to be patched and heated to 475 degrees, the same temperature new asphalt is made at.

It get's hot enough to re-work and remove just the top layer.

New asphalt is added and compacted, making a smooth transition from concrete to asphalt.

The result is a nice smooth transition into the garage that also drains properly.

After our crack filling and sealcoating, you'd never know there was a problem.

Since there in no cutting involved with infrared heating, the result is a seamless patch that doesn't even need to be crack filled.

A garage transition is a great way to fix sunken poorly drained asphalt around the garage and/or house. Depending on the project, a garage transition can be completed with either our Infrared or Cut & Fill Asphalt Patching process.

Culvert Repair

Culvert Repair 1 of 4

A very common problem on driveways is the asphalt heaving above the culvert.

We cut out a section of asphalt surrounding the culvert.

We then re-work, add traffic bond and compact the base.

Brand new hot asphalt is added and compacted around the culvert, thus re-creating the nice transition at the entrance of your driveway.

The asphalt surrounding culverts at the end of a driveway or parking lot takes quite a beating from plowing, flowing water and the culvert itself heaving with the freeze/thaw cycle. To ensure proper pitch for drainage, the area surrounding a culvert oftentimes needs to be repaired.

Remove & replace Patching

Cut & Fill Patch 1 of 4

Alligatored areas and low spots are the most commonly patched areas.

After cutting and removing the asphalt down to the base we are able to add new hot asphalt and compact to grade.

After our crack filling and sealcoating, you'd never know how bad this area was beforehand.

We can cut out sections to provide access for drainage or other miscellaneous work, then come back later and patch the asphalt back in.

Infrared patching's one limitation is that it will not fix a base problem. If an area of asphalt is deteriorating due to a weakened or insufficient base (the gravel underneath the asphalt) we must cut & remove the old damaged asphalt so that we can re-work the base.

Catch Basins

Catch Basin Repair 1 of 4

Since water is one of asphalt's most damaging elements, it makes sense that catch basins are extremely common trouble areas.

Often we need to re-grade the existing asphalt to get the water draining properly.

And even more common is that the base has failed around the basin, so we remove the old asphalt, add traffic bond and re-compact the base.

Catch Basin Repair 4 of 4

If the asphalt has just sunk around the catch basin, we can set the infrared heating unit right over the top and get a nice seamless repair.

Catch basins (or storm basins) are primarily used to collect pavement runoff and act as a junction for a storm drain system. To ensure proper pitch for drainage, the area surrounding a catch basin oftentimes needs to be repaired.

Asphalt Curbing

Areas that drain poorly often cause the asphalt to fail prematurely. Most often in these cases the gravel base has failed, which means we must complete a traditional Cut & Fill asphalt patch to properly address the problem. Since the curb is built directly into the patch, it's a seamless transition that doesn't allow water to penetrate between the asphalt surface and the curb.
