Potholes in your asphalt can cost you in more ways than one. While this may not come as a surprise, it should come as even less of a surprise that fixing your pavement’s blemish could cost you precious time and a fair chunk of change; it could, that is, if you don’t yet know about American Sealcoating’s infrared repair.

Is Infrared Asphalt Repair Right for You?

Infrared asphalt paving repair is a relatively new creation, and especially new to Bridgeview and the Greater Chicago Area. The benefits to infrared asphalt paving repair over more traditional methods or pre-emptive sealcoating can be boiled down to two simple things: Saving you time and saving you money.

Always Repair Potholes

It is important to note that potholes should always be repaired immediately. Not only is it recommended for safety reasons, but can also keep you out of legal trouble, should anyone decided to hold you liable in court for damages caused by excessive potholes. The famously cold and icy winters of Chicago take no mercy on damaged asphalt, so it is important to know that your problem will only exponentially grow if left unattended.

Feel the Burn

Also called burning, infrared asphalt paving repair basically involves a specialized truck quickly reheating the existing surface to a working temperature, which can then be reshaped or even combined with virgin material. The process is incredibly quick and efficient, especially when repairing isolated areas of damage. If you have one patch of highly used or otherwise damaged areas, then there is no more efficient way to repair the area than burning.

Save Time & Money

The truck itself is equipped to carry 2 tons of virgin asphalt in a controlled hot box, which it can then automatically disperse to areas that need a new surface or to fill in a pothole. Once filled, its a simple matter to smooth out the surface and create a permanent fix to your pothole problem. Because almost all of the necessary components are housed on the truck itself, very little labor or additional tools are needed to complete the repair, which is an obvious time and money saver. Your parking lot or roadway will be up and running again in almost no time at all and you’ll enjoy a much smaller invoice for your asphalt paving repair.

Isolated Repair

In addition to saving you precious resources, infrared asphalt paving also offers another major benefit: Segmentation. If you can’t close your entire parking lot, roadway, or even a single section of a larger area without inconveniencing those that need to use the area, then infrared repair is an even more valuable solution. Since the repairs can take place in isolated segments, you can rope off a single damaged area, rather than an entire asphalt surface. This allows those that need to use the asphalt to go about their business, almost entirely unimpeded. Additionally, if you need sporadic repairs across the parking lot or roadway, then our infrared asphalt paving team can work on one area at a time, rather than fully closing down the space at any point. This allows you to keep your business up and running while keeping your roadways safe.
