Potholes – is prevention possible?
Spring is pothole season in any state that has winter weather. When ice melts water gets trapped beneath asphalt and on
top of still-frozen ground. This water usually goes through a few cycles of freezing and expanding then melting and contracting, weakening the asphalt and eroding the subsurface. But is there any way to prevent potholes from forming in the first place?
The short answer is: Not entirely. Engineers are working on improved asphalt formulas every day, but in a state with extreme temperatures, asphalt is always going to be vulnerable to some degree. There are a few things you can do to protect your asphalt as much as possible:
- Check your drainage system! In the warmer months look for pooling or any other clues of improper drainage. This gives you an idea as to which areas won’t drain properly underneath the slushy snows of spring.
- Sealcoating provides a protective seal which helps prevent deterioration. It doubles or even triples the life of your asphalt.
- Use the best materials! We use CS-41 resurfacing asphalt emulsion sealers. It exceeds MNDot fog sealing requirements, and will give you longer lasting results. Don’t settle for cheap substitutes!
- Repair potholes and crack seal as needed to maintain the overall structural integrity of your parking lot, path or roadway. Cracks may look minor, but they can become a larger problem quickly. Stay on top of minor flaws for a stronger, longer lasting surface.
