Pothole Repair
Potholes are not just ugly - they are a liability. Every unrepaired pothole is a potential vehicle damage claim, a trip-and-fall lawsuit, or a tenant complaint waiting to happen. We provide fast, permanent pothole repair for commercial parking lots across Utah. From emergency cold patches to full-depth permanent repairs, we get your lot safe and smooth.
What We Offer
Professional pothole repair services tailored to Utah properties.
Full-Depth Pothole Repair
The permanent fix. We saw-cut clean edges, excavate to solid base, compact, and fill with hot-mix asphalt. The repair is flush with the surrounding surface and lasts as long as the original pavement.
Skin Patching
For shallow surface failures where the base is still intact. We clean the area, apply tack coat, and place a thin lift of hot-mix asphalt. A quick, cost-effective fix for early-stage problems.
Emergency Cold Patch
When you need a pothole fixed today for safety reasons, cold patch gets it done. It is a temporary fix that holds until we can come back for a permanent hot-mix repair in warmer weather.
Utility Cut Repair
After utility companies dig up your lot, the patches they leave behind often fail quickly. We remove their sloppy patch, prep properly, and install a permanent repair that matches the surrounding surface.
Base Failure Repair
When potholes keep coming back in the same spot, the problem is usually underneath the asphalt. We dig out the failed base material, replace it with clean aggregate, compact, and repave over a solid foundation.
Trip Hazard Elimination
Raised edges, sunken panels, and broken curbs that create trip-and-fall risks for pedestrians. We grind, patch, or replace the hazard and document the repair for your liability records.
Benefits of Professional Pothole Repair
Service Areas
We provide pothole repair services throughout the Utah area:
How It Works
Simple, transparent process from initial contact to completed project.
Assessment
We evaluate the pothole to determine the cause - surface failure, base failure, drainage issue, or utility cut. The cause determines the right repair method.
Preparation
Saw-cut clean edges around the damaged area, excavate loose material, and inspect the base. If the base has failed, we dig deeper and rebuild from the aggregate up.
Repair
Hot-mix asphalt placed in proper lifts and compacted to match the surrounding surface grade. Each lift is compacted before the next goes down for maximum density.
Cleanup
Debris hauled away, edges sealed, and the area is ready for traffic. We document the repair with photos and notes for your records.
Common Questions
Water is the number one cause. Water seeps through cracks, gets under the asphalt, and weakens the base. In Utah, freeze-thaw cycles make this worse because the water expands when it freezes, pushing the asphalt up, then contracts when it thaws, leaving a void that collapses under traffic.
Emergency cold patches can be done same-day or next-day for urgent safety situations. Permanent hot-mix repairs are typically scheduled within 1-2 weeks, weather permitting. During paving season (April-October), we can often respond within a few days.
Recurring potholes almost always indicate base failure underneath. Patching the surface over bad base is temporary at best. The real fix is to excavate the failed base, replace it with clean compacted aggregate, and repave over a solid foundation.
If the potholes are isolated to a few spots, targeted repairs are much more cost-effective than repaving. If you have potholes everywhere, that usually means widespread base failure and repaving may be the smarter long-term investment. We will be honest about which approach makes sense.
Yes, with cold patch material. Cold patch is a temporary fix that holds through winter until asphalt plants reopen in spring for permanent hot-mix repairs. It is the right solution when a pothole is a safety hazard and you cannot wait for warm weather.
A pothole is a hole in the pavement where material has broken away. Alligator cracking is a pattern of interconnected cracks that looks like reptile skin. Alligator cracking is actually a warning sign - left untreated, those cracked areas will eventually break apart into potholes.
Property owners can be held liable for vehicle damage and personal injury caused by known hazards on their property. Documenting regular inspections and prompt repairs is your best defense. The longer a pothole sits unrepaired, the greater your liability exposure.
