When Do Potholes Form?

A pothole is a depression on a road surface. It usually occurs on asphalt pavement. It is caused by the expansion and contraction of ground water when it seeps through the surface of the asphalt.

They are usually worst in the spring when ice and snow melt on the surface that has contracted to leave gaps or voids where water can get in.

The asphalt pavement becomes a weak spot and when the weight of cars and trucks passes over it, the asphalt will be displaced or broken down from the weight, creating the pothole.

About NOLA Asphalt Patching: Cold Asphalt Filler vs. Hot Asphalt Filler

When patching potholes, there are things we consider before moving forward. Choosing between these two can be tricky. As a professional asphalt repair company, we know the best applications for an asphalt cold patch and asphalt hot patch.

A hot pour filler starts as a solid material and then melted until it is liquid. It is applied while hot and allowed to cool before it is sealed.

A cold pour filler is applied directly in liquid form without heating. It is given time to cure before applying a sealer.

The area around a pothole is measured and squared up using an asphalt saw, hammer, and chisel.

2. Clean The Area

We clean the area properly, removing all plant life including the roots so that they will not grow back.  All particles of debris and chunks of asphalt are cut and chiseled out. We make sure to leave a solid base for the filler.

3. Fill

Depending on the extent of damage to your driveway or parking lot, we apply a filler with specialized equipment and skills.

4. Tamping Down
