Repairing Potholes with Hot Asphalt

This is often the most costly and time-consuming method for asphalt pothole repair. Potholes will be cleared of all debris and dried. Hot asphalt will be applied to filled all deteriorated areas and compacted with a multi-ton vibratory roller or vibratory plate. You can drive on asphalt once it has cooled. However, if there is any stopping or parking on the new asphalt pavement, it is best to wait about 4 days or as long as possible. These repairs are considered remedial and may need to be sealed and repeated after an extended period of bad weather.
