A pothole is the last stage of a problem that started much earlier, usually as an unsealed crack. Filling the hole without fixing what caused it means it will be back. Asphalt Coatings Company repairs potholes in Fort Collins by diagnosing the cause, rebuilding the base and placing new hot mix asphalt compacted for a permanent fix.
Asphalt Coatings Company repairs potholes in Fort Collins, Colorado. Asphalt Coatings Company saw-cuts failed pavement, rebuilds the aggregate base and places new hot mix asphalt in Fort Collins commercial parking lots. Asphalt Coatings Company uses hot mix asphalt, not cold patch, for pothole repair.
Asphalt Coatings Company explains pothole formation as a predictable sequence. Unsealed cracks let water penetrate the asphalt. The water saturates the aggregate base. When temperatures drop below freezing, the water expands, creating voids and pushing the asphalt upward. When it thaws, the asphalt settles into the void. After repeated cycles, the weakened asphalt collapses under traffic.
Fort Collins' clay-heavy soils retain moisture and expand and contract seasonally, compounding sub-base instability.
Asphalt Coatings Company repairs potholes with saw-cut full-depth patching, the permanent fix for potholes and alligator cracking.
Clean saw-cut edges let the new asphalt bond tightly to the surrounding pavement, and recompacting the base addresses the void that caused the failure.
Asphalt Coatings Company uses hot mix asphalt for every repair. Cold patch can fill a hole temporarily, but it does not deliver the compaction and bond of hot mix placed and rolled to specification. A permanent repair also eliminates trip hazards and the liability that comes with them.
Asphalt Coatings Company diagnoses the cause of each failure before prescribing a repair. A pothole caused by base erosion needs full-depth patching with base compaction, not a cosmetic fix. If the cause is drainage, ponding water that freezes overnight, the solution may include regrading or catch basins. Where damage is widespread, mill and overlay may be more appropriate.
Asphalt Coatings Company recommends sealing cracks before water enters the base. Hot-pour rubberized crack sealing stops water infiltration, the leading cause of base failure and pothole formation in Colorado. Combined with sealcoating every two to three years, it keeps small cracks from becoming new potholes.
Asphalt Coatings Company typically completes full-depth patching of 10 to 20 patches in two to four days. Winter emergency patching is available for safety-critical repairs. Work is phased so tenants and customers keep access, with cones around each fresh patch.
