Repair the Surface When Repair Makes Sense
Cracks, potholes, raveling edges and low spots that hold water do not always mean the whole driveway or lot has to be torn out. Often a targeted repair or a new asphalt overlay will give you years of additional service. Sometimes, though, surface work only hides a base or drainage problem that will come straight back through the new asphalt. The difference is in what is happening underneath, and that is where a good contractor starts. Learn more about asphalt paving contractor in Athens.

Common Asphalt Problems Contractors Repair
The right fix depends on the cause and the extent of the damage, so the condition should be identified before deciding what type of work makes sense.
Potholes
Potholes form where water gets into a weak spot and traffic breaks the surface apart. The usual repair removes the damaged material, addresses the base where needed and patches with new hot-mix asphalt.
Cracking
Hairline surface cracks, wide linear cracks and the interconnected alligator pattern each point to a different problem, from normal aging to base failure, and each calls for a different repair.
Worn and faded surfaces
Aging asphalt loses its binder and starts to ravel and turn gray. When the base is still solid, resurfacing with a new layer of asphalt restores a smooth, sealed surface.
Settlement and edge failure
Low spots, sinking areas and crumbling edges usually trace back to the base or to water. Those areas may need excavation and rebuilding rather than a surface patch.

How a Repair Referral Works
1. Identify the problem
You describe the visible damage, and a contractor reviews the pavement to understand its condition.

The contractor looks at cracking, settlement, drainage, base conditions and other factors behind the damage.
3. Discuss options
The contractor explains whether localized repair, resurfacing or more extensive work makes sense and what each involves.
4. Complete the agreed work
