What Is Infrared Asphalt Repair?

Infrared asphalt repair uses heat to blend new asphalt with existing pavement, creating a seamless bond that looks and performs like new. Our infrared heaters warm the damaged area until it softens, allowing us to rake, add fresh asphalt, and compact it into a smooth, level surface. Because the repair bonds directly with the surrounding pavement, there are no cold seams or weak edges where water can seep in and cause future cracking.

Why Infrared Asphalt Repair Is Ideal for Winter Months

Unlike traditional asphalt patching, which often requires warm weather, infrared asphalt repair can be completed even in colder temperatures. The infrared heat penetrates deep into the pavement, softening the asphalt enough for a strong, blended repair - even during the winter months. This makes it perfect for fixing potholes, frost heave damage, and cracks that appear after freeze-thaw cycles. Keeping up with repairs during winter helps prevent further deterioration and costly resurfacing come spring.
