Infrared Asphalt Repair
Highly effective at fixing pavement, infrared asphalt repair involves the existing material being recycled by a crew of 2-3 trained craftsmen using one customized truck operation. The savings from using this modern technology makes infrared repairs less expensive than conventional repairs to potholes. Additionally, the typical process takes our Flushing asphalt repair contractors around 20 minutes to complete, including preparation and clean-up.

How Does Infrared Asphalt Repair Work?
This repair method allows the patch to be fused to the pavement that’s already there. It creates one continuous that is flush to the existing surface, thus eliminating tripping hazards. This system also eliminates any seams for water to re-enter and cause costly joint failure.
With this type of asphalt repair, the pavement is heated from the inside out allowing us to heat the asphalt to plant temperature around 325 degrees without burning the asphalt. When the patch is completed you have a repair that is level with the original grade. One of the biggest advantages, however, is that once the repair is complete, your parking lot can be re-opened to the public within minutes.
