At MB Asphalt, we offer comprehensive asphalt maintenance and repair services tailored for both residential and commercial clients. Here’s a breakdown of what we provide:
Asphalt Sealcoating: We begin by thoroughly cleaning the pavement using high-powered blowers, wire brooms, gas or battery-powered rotary brooms, and edging tools to remove all dirt, dust, and grass. This ensures optimal adhesion. We then apply a high-quality sealer that protects the surface from water infiltration, oil, gas spills, and UV damage—extending the life and appearance of your asphalt.
Crack Filling: We use hot rubberized material to seal cracks before they expand. This prevents water penetration and base erosion, significantly reducing the risk of potholes and further cracking.
Pothole Repair: Our process begins with thoroughly cleaning the damaged area to remove debris and loose material. A tack coat is then applied to ensure strong adhesion between the existing pavement and new material. We install hot mix asphalt and compact it to restore a smooth, durable surface that withstands traffic and weather.
Infrared Asphalt Repair: An efficient, seamless method to fix localized damage by heating existing asphalt, blending it with new hot mix, and compacting. Ideal for potholes, utility cuts, and uneven surfaces.
Rip & Replace Asphalt Repair: For heavily damaged areas, we saw-cut, remove, and replace the asphalt and base. This ensures long-term strength and stability, especially in areas with fatigue cracking or sub-base failure.
Line Striping: Precise and durable striping for parking lots, private roads, and commercial properties. Includes ADA-compliant markings, directional arrows, and layout design.
Driveway & Parking Lot Maintenance: Full-service care packages including sealcoating, crack filling, patching, cleaning, and edge maintenance. Customized for each property based on use and condition.
Catch Basin Repair: We rebuild and reinforce damaged or sunken catch basins to ensure proper drainage and pavement stability. Our team addresses both structural repairs and surface restoration, preventing costly water damage and collapses.
Why Asphalt Fails
Asphalt surfaces look solid, but they’re constantly under attack from the environment, traffic, and time. Here's a closer look at the main causes of deterioration:
Water Penetration: Water seeps into cracks, erodes the base layer, and freezes in cold weather. The expansion causes frost heave and potholes.
UV Radiation (Oxidation): The sun’s UV rays break down asphalt, making it dry, brittle, and gray. Oxidized asphalt cracks easily and loses its flexibility.
Chemical Spills: Automotive fluids like oil and gasoline dissolve the asphalt binder, weakening the surface and causing crumbling or softness.
Heavy Loads and Traffic: Repeated weight from trucks or trailers leads to fatigue cracking and eventual base failure, especially in high-use areas.
Poor Drainage: Standing water near pavement edges or low spots leads to erosion, edge cracking, and settling due to a weakened sub-base.
Inadequate Maintenance: Unsealed cracks, graying, and raveling result from neglect. Preventative care extends pavement life and saves money.
Improper Installation: Without proper compaction or quality materials, asphalt surfaces fail prematurely. A strong foundation is key to durability.
