Potholes occur when moisture filters its way through cracks in the pavement and settles below the sub-base. As temperatures drop the moisture freezes and expands beneath the surface. As temperatures rise, the moisture thaws (contracts) leaving a void and weakening the pavement, which eventually caves-in causing a pothole.There are various methods in repairing potholes, but to make a long-lasting pothole repair the best method utilizes several stages of repair. Mark perimeter of damaged area and sawcut or jackhammer approximately 1 foot around the pothole.

Sealcoating seals the small cracks that can turn into large cracks and prevents water from seeping down to the base material. The dark black color of newly applied sealcoat improve the appearance of new and old asphalt.

New sealcoating can preserve the resilience of asphalt surfaces and help hide small cracks, patches and rough spots as well as making traffic lines more visible. Sealcoat that is applied correctly makes your asphalt look cleaner because rain washes dirt and debris easily away from the smooth, non-porous surface.
