Fast, lasting pothole repair for parking lots, private streets and HOA roads in Mojave. GSEC cuts out failed asphalt, repairs the base where needed and compacts new hot mix asphalt.
Wind-blown sand, strong sun and occasional flash runoff are the main threats to pavement here. Potholes start when water gets through cracks into the base, and traffic then breaks up the weakened asphalt. In Mojave, the main local factor is high desert sun, cold nights and flash runoff.
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.
Seal cracks before cold nights arrive, clear wind-blown sand from drains, and protect pavement edges from flash runoff.
