Herndon Asphalt can provide a complete consultation on the condition of your existing pavement and which maintenance repairs are needed to prolong your asphalt surface. We use SCDOT approved hot-mix patching for potholes, after a complete cleaning, prepping, and saw cutting of the failed asphalt surface.
What Causes a Pothole?
Even the best asphalt pavements are subject to deterioration due to water and sunlight damage after a period of time. Water intrusion is the leading cause of pavement failure, which eventually creates cracks and ultimately potholes. Properly sealing those cracks will greatly reduce water into the sub-base and virtually eliminate further damage to the asphalt. Patching is the process of excavating isolated potholes and replacing them with new asphalt.
