POTHOLE REPAIR & PATCHING

Potholes are more than just an eyesore—they are a severe safety hazard for pedestrians, a leading cause of vehicle damage, and a major legal liability for property owners. Potholes form when water seeps through untreated cracks into the sub-base, freezes and expands, and then collapses under the weight of daily traffic.

At PRIME Sealcoating & Striping, we provide permanent, heavy-duty pothole repair solutions. Instead of just throwing loose asphalt into a hole, we cut out the damaged area, repair the underlying foundation, and apply hot-mix asphalt to deliver a seamless, structural patch that stands the test of time.

Our Professional Repair Process

Full-Depth Asphalt Patching

For severe failures, we square off and excavate the damaged section, remove the failed asphalt, and compact a brand-new gravel base before laying fresh asphalt.

Skin Patching & Surface Repair

For depressions or shallow potholes that haven’t destroyed the sub-base, we apply a high-grade asphalt overlay to level the surface and restore structural integrity.

Infrared Asphalt Repair (When Applicable):

We heat the existing damaged asphalt to a workable state, mix in fresh binder, and compact it to create a seamless, thermally bonded patch without any cold joints.

Why Address Potholes Immediately?

Eliminate Legal Liability: Keeping your parking lot smooth and level protects you from costly premises liability lawsuits stemming from trip-and-fall injuries or vehicle damage claims.

Stop Spreading Damage: Potholes expand rapidly. What is a small hole today can easily double in size after the next heavy rain or winter freeze, driving up your eventual repair costs.

Protect the Surrounding Pavement: A pothole allows massive amounts of water to flood the sub-base, which quickly destroys the integrity of the healthy asphalt surrounding it.
