Budget mindful pavement repair

Asphalt pavement exhibiting “alligatored” type cracking patterns usually suggest a failed subgrade which is remedied best by removal of the existing asphalt, recompaction of the subgrade, and installation of new asphalt material.  This condition is usually caused by the subgrade below the asphalt becoming over-saturated as water penetrates the pavement through cracks, potholes, adjacent landscape areas, etc.  The subgrade becomes spongy and soft and gives way as heavy traffic travels over the asphalt surface.  The asphalt is less flexible than the over-saturated subgrade and cracks as a result. 

There are less costly, but more temporary methods of repair involving reinforcement fabrics combined with asphalt overlays.

Shrinkage cracks can be filled with cold or hot rubberized crack fill material.

Also, low areas in the surface which keep water from draining and asphalt pavement eroded from nuisance water can be corrected through asphalt patching.
