Dependable Asphalt Repair in Snellville

Watch for cracks that spread and for potholes. Cracks in a pattern like alligator skin often point to a failing base underneath, and that needs more than a surface fix. Concrete surfaces with similar damage are covered under concrete repair.

Sealing cracks while the pavement is still in good condition is the lowest-cost fix, and it can extend the pavement's life by one to four years, according to the Federal Highway Administration. Isolated potholes are patched, not covered. Once the base has failed, cheap repairs stop working.

An overlay suits pavement in good to fair condition, and isolated holes are patched. Areas where the base has failed generally need replacing instead of a new overlay, and alligator-skin cracking needs deeper repairs first. When many patches are needed, replacing the area with new asphalt paving is worth considering.

The size of the damage and its cause matter most, since a surface fix costs less than a base repair. One cost guide, Bob Vila, lists resurfacing at about $3 to $7 per square foot and full replacement at $8 to $15 nationally. Get a free estimate for your repair. Replacing a driveway with concrete is another route, covered under concrete driveways.

Yes, roots can crack and lift asphalt. The University of Georgia Extension suggests root barriers 18 to 24 inches deep at the edge of paving to keep roots away.

Crack sealing is done 6 to 12 months before an overlay so the sealant bumps do not show in the new layer, according to a Minnesota Department of Transportation field guide. Parking lots at businesses may also need commercial concrete for curbs and walks.
