Pavement distresses over time as it ages and endures regular traffic. Not only do cracks and other blemishes look unsightly, but they can also threaten the integrity and safety of the surrounding asphalt paving. When not addressed, paving distresses the compound, becoming a larger and much more significant concern.

Patching refers to the process of filling in cracks or potholes in the asphalt. Depending on the severity and location of the crack or pothole, some patching jobs require quick measures while others necessitate more advanced tactics. Either way, patching services are intended to be an effective solution, helping control further pavement deterioration and preventing water from entering the subgrade.
For in-depth jobs, our patching process involves the following:
Inspecting the Job Site
Before our team makes any repairs, we first inspect the asphalt to better evaluate its condition. With this valuable information, we perform the most appropriate method and provide clients with the most effective solution.
Cut Edges of Distressed Pavement
When looking at a pothole, you may notice several other cracks in the asphalt around it. These cracks threaten to make the pothole larger. To combat this, our team will remove the damaged pavement through our asphalt milling services using specialized equipment.
Clean the Area
Before an area of asphalt can be patched, it must first be cleaned. This includes removing any plant life that may be present around the area. Failing to remove plant life can result in roots shifting the pavement over time, causing cracks to form once again. Further, when cleaning the area, our team also removes any debris, including accumulated chunks of asphalt.
Check Foundation
Any discrepancies or concerns with the pavement’s foundation must be addressed before pothole patching. JRH Asphalt, LLC will make certain your foundation maintains its integrity. If we find any concerns during our inspection we’ll bring them to each client’s attention immediately and discuss with them how we intend to proceed.
Fill in Asphalt
Using a specialized mix for asphalt filler, we begin filling in the pavement. To achieve the best possible results, we only use enhanced techniques to ensure a smooth and complete fill. Proper pours help eliminate troublesome air spaces.
Apply Protective Sealants
Asphalt filler that is placed but not properly protected will be exposed to elements, potentially causing it dry and become damaged much more quickly. This can result in repairs being needed much sooner than property owners anticipated. To help prevent these scenarios, we apply a protective sealant to better ensure the longevity of our work.
