Asphalt Repair Service in Louisiana.
Potholes and large cracks can dramatically affect the appearance of asphalt paving, making it difficult to maintain a professional parking lot or residential driveway. It is best to fix a pothole as soon as possible. If you do not fix it quickly, the pothole will expand and worsen, making it more costly to repair. Also, your parking lot or driveway will provide a smooth surface for drivers and pedestrians if there are no potholes. In addition, asphalt will offer good skid resistance for vehicles if it is not damaged by the pothole. Potholes occur when water, snow, or ice collects in a crack in the pavement and then freezes. As this happens repeatedly, it can lead to alligator cracking, which quickly leads to unsightly and dangerous potholes and unstable surfaces. When you need a reliable team that will effectively fix the issue using trusted and industry-standard techniques while ensuring a beautiful outcome, you can count on us for certain big time! Our specialists will assess any areas where the pavement is defective or unstable and make recommendations to facilitate high-quality asphalt repairs at a reasonable cost. We can use hot mix asphalt in most cases, although cold patch may be needed in others.Our Asphalt Repairing Process
1. PreppingThe surface layer of asphalt will need to be removed and replaced with fresh material, a process called prepping. We will remove or grind away any unstable areas before adding new asphalt to ensure the repaired section is bonded securely to the existing roadway.
2. Cleaning
Our paving specialists will remove all defective pavement, broken subgrade, or vegetation present in the prepared zones prior to installing the new asphalt. This ensures a strong foundation for the new asphalt and eliminates the risk of future failure.
3. Pre-Fill
We use industrial-grade rubberized compound for filling and leveling all prepared areas.
4. Hot Asphalt Application
Hot-mix asphalt is a mixture of aggregate, sand, and asphalt cement that is heated at an asphalt plant to over 300 degrees Fahrenheit, transported to the job site. Hot mix asphalt not only cools quickly for convenience but also remains durable even in the most extreme weather exposure.
5. Double Coat Sealing
Compton Builders uses two-coat seal coating products to protect and prolong the life of your asphalt service. The finish will look and feel smooth while providing extreme durability and lasting quality.
