Fast, lasting pothole repair for parking lots, private streets and HOA roads in Fontana. GSEC cuts out failed asphalt, repairs the base where needed and compacts new hot mix asphalt.
Truck-heavy industrial lots and yards are especially prone to potholes once water gets under the surface. Potholes start when water gets through cracks into the base, and traffic then breaks up the weakened asphalt. In Fontana, the main local factor is summer heat followed by winter rain.
Our pothole repair process
Saw-cut or mill a clean, square edge around the damaged area.
Remove loose asphalt and failed base material.
Restore and compact the base where it has softened.
Tack the edges, place hot mix asphalt and compact it in lifts.
Seal the joint so water cannot get back in.
Temporary vs. permanent repairs
During wet weather we can place temporary cold patch to remove a hazard quickly. Permanent hot mix repairs are done once the area is dry, so the patch bonds and lasts.
Preventing the next pothole
Seal cracks early.
Keep drains and gutters clear.
Seal coat aged pavement.
Fill the cracks that opened during summer heat before the first big storm, since those cracks are the main way water reaches the base.
