You’ll notice that cracks and potholes start to appear during the late winter months, continuing through spring and early summer. The primary reason for asphalt degradation is excessive water from the freezing and thawing weather cycle. Cold weather stresses asphalt pavement, making it weak, creating cracks and potholes.
To perform a professional asphalt pavement repair, the removal of deteriorated asphalt pieces is required. Before properly filling a crack or pothole, we use specialized cutting equipment and proven techniques to remove broken pavement. That way, the new asphalt adheres securely.
Commercial Paving of Maine uses a hot-pour crack filling method to seal expansion joints, fill cracks, and fix joints between concrete and asphalt shoulders.
