Asphalt Patching and Repair |
|
Patches are often the most misunderstood aspect of asphalt paving.
All surface types ranging from driveways to roadways require an
experienced and educated contractor that can accurately diagnose and
properly rectify a pavement failure. At Creve Coeur Paving, we
understand pavement failures. We are able to identify what caused the
failure, and will provide a suitable remedy to keep the problem from
resurfacing. While many other contractors may suggest a quick and
cheap patch, we will offer a permanent solution. We will never offer a
shortcut that compromises our reputation. In many instances our
procedures cost more initially, but will save you money in the
long-term perspective.
We offer solutions ranging from filling a
minor pothole to excavation and full depth paving in multiple layers.
You can be confident that your needs are addressed properly.
Skin patches are the
most economical way of patching or repairing asphalt. Skin patches
attempt to bridge over defects by adding a thin layer of compacted
asphalt to the problem area. This is seen more as a temporary fix
because the defect is still there. Eventually the problem will come
back through the skin patch. At that point, a more permanent repair
will be needed. Skin patches also alter the smoothness of pavement.
If you have a large parking lot with many skin patches, your pavement
will not be desirable to drive on. Installing a skin patch is simple
and quick. It can be done in small areas by hand, or large areas by
paver. First the area is outlined and marked. Next an emulsion is
sprayed on the surface to bond the two layers together. After this,
the asphalt is added to the surface and rolled to compaction. The
final step in the process is blending all the edges with an emulsion /
aggregate mixture that prevents unraveling.
Benefits of skin patching are as follows:
- Quick and easy. Very economical.
- Provides a temporary cover up of a defect that can last years.

This method of repair is considered one of the most permanent, but also
the most expensive. This process is used on severely damaged asphalt
surfaces such as heaving, settling, and yielding. Our estimator will
work with you to design the best possible repair. Different levels of
damage require different means of repair. Generally the repair is
completed by marking the area first. Next we will saw-cut around the
perimeter of the area. Next we excavate the area to remove all
contributing factors of the defect. After this we install the
prescribed amount of asphalt or base rock depending on the design.
After this we will add more additional layers of asphalt if required
and compact the area. Finally the repair is completed and ready for
traffic.
Here are some benefits of using this method:
- The entire defect is removed and stabilized.
- This area will not have to be repaired again.
- The process can be designed to accommodate any type of traffic or load force.

Infrared Thermal Asphalt Repair is more durable than traditional repair
method. Saw cut repairs leave a seam between the old and new asphalt
that will allow water to penetrate the repair. Unsightly Skin patch
repairs have a raised transition which can cause repair failure which
can crack, separate or chip away. The thermal repair process heats the
existing asphalt to its original state; bonding the repair to the
surrounding asphalt.
We rely on Ez-Pavement Repair Inc. to complete all of our infrared repair needs. For more information please visit their site .
