FAQs About Pothole Repair
Potholes typically form when water seeps into unsealed cracks in your asphalt. During Rhode Island’s colder months, this water freezes and expands, pushing the pavement upward. When the ice melts, it leaves a hollow void beneath the surface. As heavy vehicles drive over this weakened, unsupported area, the asphalt collapses and breaks apart, creating a pothole.
Unlike temporary “cold-patch” fixes (which are sometimes necessary in the middle of winter but can fail within weeks), a professional hot-mix asphalt repair is designed for longevity. By squaring off the edges, clearing out loose debris, applying a specialized tack coat for adhesion, and filling the hole with compacted hot-mix asphalt, the repair creates a structural, flush bond. This permanent fix stops water from re-entering the sub-base and is built to last for years.
While hot-mix asphalt is the preferred method for permanent pothole repair in Rhode Island, we offer specialized “cold-patch” and high-performance emergency repair solutions during the colder months when asphalt plants are closed. These temporary fixes stabilize the area and prevent vehicle damage until the weather warms up enough for a permanent hot-mix solution. It is always better to fill a pothole immediately rather than letting it expand and create a larger safety hazard.
The best way to stop new potholes from forming is through proactive maintenance. We highly recommend utilizing our crack filling and sealcoating services. By filling open cracks and applying top-grade sealants, we ensure maximum protection against the elements. This prevents water from seeping into your pavement’s foundation, significantly extending the life of your asphalt and reducing the need for future costly repairs.
Many contractors simply throw loose asphalt into a hole and drive over it, which usually fails within a few weeks. Our professional asphalt repair in Rhode Island involves squaring off the edges of the pothole, removing loose debris, applying a tack coat for adhesion, and filling it with compacted hot-mix asphalt. This creates a structural patch that is flush with the surrounding pavement, preventing water from re-entering the area and causing the repair to pop back out.
