Asphalt pothole repair is a pretty routine maintenance practice in regions that experience moderate to severe winters like in Bedford, OH. Everyone knows what potholes are, and the dangers and annoyances they cause for traffic and properties. Let's dig a little deeper into asphalt potholes applications.
In this method, hot asphalt is mixed and used to cover the broken surface and formed as a patch to prevent water from penetrating and causing further damage to your asphalt.
Milling involves grinding the pavement's surface to the desired depth, and the millings are then loaded into a waiting dump truck to be recycled. A new layer of asphalt can then be paved to the thickness of the pavement surface that was removed. Since milling allows you to choose the depth of the repair, this method could save on costs for large areas.
During this asphalt repair, deteriorated areas of the pavement are saw cut and removed. These cut-out areas are then filled with hot mix asphalt, according to the desired depth and grade, making this a more permanent fix to the problem.
