Repair Options for Your Asphalt

What Are Your Asphalt Repair Patching Options:



Asphalt Repair Options, You Have a Choice.



Typically the most common type of repair done these days is the asphalt patch. These patches usually fall under the 2 categories of remove & replace patches and skin patching.  Read below about these two asphalt repair options and learn about which one is right for you. If you have any questions feel free to give us a call.  We would love to hear from you.



The R & R patch.



Remove & replace patches are when a asphalt repair company come out and remove areas of old and broken asphalt all the way down the native soil and then replace that new void with all new material.  These patches are typically saw-cut ahead of time. This process gives the new patch a clean and neat look as well as, improves the bond between the old asphalt surface and your new asphalt patch.  Empire always recommends that you extend your repairs at least 1 foot beyond the perimeter of damaged asphalt being replaced.  This insures that any existing stress cracking won’t continue through to the new patch.



The Skin Patch



This is a very affordable option to the R&R patch.  Skin patching, also known as thin layer patching is basically a very thin patch that is about 1”-3" in thickness.  Often times, skin patching is used fill low spots on asphalt where there is not a lot of existing cracking or breaking.  The main difference between a skin patch and a remove & replace patch is that the skin patch doesn’t require the contractor to remove any existing of your existing asphalt during this type of asphalt repair.  Typically a skin patch is used to remedy low spots in your asphalt parking lot such as bird baths. These low spots in your parking lot can be caused by a myriad of problems.  Most commonly would be irrigation run off, heavy truck traffic, broken pipes, or just settling asphalt.
