This service includes detailed inspection, removal of compromised material, preparation of the sub-base, application of new asphalt, and compaction to seamlessly integrate the repair with the surrounding pavement. Our approach focuses on long-term solutions, not just temporary fixes, which means we consider the root cause of the damage.
Our repair process often begins with saw-cutting and removing the damaged asphalt section down to a stable sub-base, creating clean, vertical edges. We then inspect the underlying aggregate for moisture or instability, making necessary corrections before applying a tack coat to the exposed edges and base. This ensures proper adhesion between the new and old asphalt layers, preventing future delamination. We then fill the area with hot-mix asphalt, compacting it in lifts to achieve proper density and a smooth, level surface.
For Pomona's climate, which experiences warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters, asphalt repair needs to account for thermal expansion and contraction. Neglecting repairs can lead to water infiltration, especially during our rainy season, which then compromises the sub-base and causes more extensive damage like widespread potholes. Our material selection and application techniques are specifically chosen to withstand these local weather patterns, providing a resilient repair that holds up against the elements.
Homeowners often wonder about the longevity of repairs and how they affect the overall pavement appearance. A properly executed asphalt repair, using hot-mix asphalt and thorough compaction, can last for many years, often blending well with the existing surface if the color match is close. We prioritize repairs that maintain the aesthetic continuity of your driveway or parking lot, minimizing noticeable patches while maximizing structural integrity. We also advise on preventative measures to extend the life of all repaired areas.
Timely asphalt repair is crucial in Pomona because small issues like hairline cracks or minor potholes can quickly escalate into significant structural failures due to local environmental factors. Our warm, dry summers cause asphalt to expand and become brittle, while winter rains can penetrate these small openings, leading to sub-base erosion and freeze-thaw damage, even in mild climates. Addressing these issues early prevents water from reaching the base layers, which is the foundation of your pavement's stability.
Ignoring minor asphalt damage in Pomona can lead to costly full-depth reconstruction sooner than necessary. A small pothole, if left unattended, will grow larger and deeper with each passing vehicle and rain event, eventually requiring more extensive material and labor to fix. This means that proactive repair, such as crack filling and patching, acts as a protective barrier against water intrusion and structural degradation, significantly extending the service life of your asphalt.
Beyond structural integrity, unrepaired asphalt presents safety hazards for pedestrians and vehicles. Uneven surfaces, deep potholes, and crumbling edges can cause trips, falls, and tire damage. In a busy community like Pomona, maintaining smooth, safe paved surfaces is not just about aesthetics; it's about minimizing liability and ensuring a safe environment for everyone using your property.
We begin with a detailed inspection of the damaged area, identifying the type and extent of distress, such as alligator cracking, potholes, or raveling. This includes evaluating the sub-base condition and drainage to determine the root cause of the failure, which informs our repair strategy.
For full-depth repairs, we saw-cut the perimeter of the damaged section, creating clean, vertical edges, then excavate and remove all compromised asphalt and unstable sub-base material. The exposed sub-base is then compacted and graded to ensure a stable foundation for the new asphalt.
A specialized asphalt tack coat is applied to the vertical edges of the existing pavement and the prepared sub-base, promoting strong adhesion between the old and new asphalt layers. We then fill the area with hot-mix asphalt, typically a dense-graded mix, placed in lifts if necessary, to match the surrounding pavement grade.
The newly placed asphalt is compacted using vibratory rollers or plate compactors, achieving the specified density and ensuring a smooth, level surface. We carefully blend the new asphalt with the existing pavement, ensuring proper drainage and a durable, long-lasting repair that integrates seamlessly.
