Great Uses for Infrared Asphalt Repair
Infrared asphalt patching is a fast, seamless method for fixing surface-level without the need for cutting, hauling, or replacing large sections of pavement. Using infrared heat, we soften the existing asphalt from the inside out, allowing it to blend with new material and create a smooth, bonded patch. Because there are no cold seams, this method prevents water from seeping in and causing costly joint failure. The result is a watertight, flush, and durable asphalt repair that’s fused to the original surface.
Infrared repair is ideal for many types of asphalt issues, including:
- Redirecting water flow or correcting drainage issues
- Areas around manholes and storm drain repairs
- Low areas prone to puddling
- Bumps and uneven high spots
- Utility cuts and trench repairs
- Pothole repair
- Installing or reshaping speed bumps
- Creating or modifying handicap ramps
- Smoothing rough, deteriorated surfaces
- Treating oil-damaged areas
- Blending paver seams or mismatched patches
Benefits to Choosing This Repair Option
Infrared repair offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional methods like full-depth commercial asphalt paving projects. It requires fewer materials, less equipment, and a smaller crew—making it quicker and more affordable for property owners.
There’s no need to cut out and dispose of damaged asphalt. Instead, our infrared asphalt repair contractors will recycle what’s already there, combining it with new material to form a durable, continuous patch. This not only saves time and labor but also reduces waste, making it a more eco-conscious repair choice.
While infrared is often used for small areas, it’s not limited to minor fixes. With the right equipment and prep, larger problem zones can be addressed just as effectively.
