Asphalt Cracking<\/strong> – Fatigue Cracking, Block Cracking, Edge Cracking, Transverse Cracking, Slippage Cracking, and Reflection Cracking.\u00a0\u00a0 All of these types of cracks can\u00a0 be identified and repaired.<\/p>\n

Potholes<\/strong> –\u00a0 Heavy traffic, salting and snow removal will worsen potholes if they are not repaired immediately.<\/p>\n

Corrugations <\/strong>–\u00a0 Asphalt corrugations lumps and bumps in the paved surface. These bumps and rises are usually caused by mixtures that are excessively high in asphalt plus contamination and moisture existing in the base.<\/p>\n

Rutting<\/strong> – these usually occur when the asphalt hasn\u2019t been compacted correctly and moisture infiltrates the layers.\u00a0\u00a0 Heavy traffic then forms a rutt or indentation along the wheel path of the vehicles.<\/p>\n

Grade Depressions<\/strong> –\u00a0 when sections of the pavement settle lower than the surrounding asphalt, they form grade depressions.\u00a0\u00a0 Depressions are usually caused by lower layers settling because of improper installation.<\/p>\n

Patch Failures<\/strong> – patches are a good way to repair some types of asphalt damage but have to be done correctly to have durability.\u00a0\u00a0 Quick fix patches will only give you trouble and need to be removed and replaced with solid repairs to withstand the winter weather.<\/p>\n

Bleeding<\/strong> – when the sticky asphalt binder leaks through the asphalt onto the surface of the road causing a black, shiny and slippery surface.\u00a0\u00a0 Asphalt binders bleed through the surface of the pavement when too much asphalt is used in the construction mix, excessive sealant is used in cracks and joints and when seal coating is improperly mixed.<\/p>\n
