Slate Canyon Asphalt offers expert pothole repair and asphalt rehabilitation services in Northern Utah. Managing pothole repairs early means you can double and even triple the life of your asphalt parking lot.

If you notice hairline cracks starting to form or increasing on your parking lot surface, then sinkhole, potholes, and bulges are not far behind. These are all normal signs of wear and tear on your asphalt surface, but they can be repaired before they get too big.

Slate Canyon Asphalt offers residential and commercial services that include the ability to repair potholes, cracks, and tired asphalt surfaces. All their patching processes are designed to help your asphalt surface be comfortable to drive on, safe to walk upon, and last longer. In addition, they recommend asphalt repairs are treated with a sealant to ensure that it lasts longer.

The level of damage determines the type of asphalt repair service that is used to fix your asphalt pavement.

To prevent water intrusion and erosion of the aggregate base, it is important to fill expansion joints and cracks between asphalt and other surfaces such as concrete aprons or curbs.

Hot-applied crack sealer is the best option for filling cracks ranging from 1/4" to 3/4" wide, as it adheres better than cold-pour sealers and has a higher melting point, allowing it to be installed in traffic areas without pickup or tracking.

To apply hot-applied sealer, the crack is first cleaned using a wire brush and a high-pressure stream of air to blow out dust and debris. Then, the crack sealer is either injected into the crack with a pressurized wand or poured in at a temperature nearing 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Installing materials at this temperature aids in forming a stronger bond with the adjacent asphalt surfaces.

Hot-applied sealer has many benefits, including high elasticity, which allows the material to expand and contract with the pavement as temperature changes, preventing the growth of longitudinal cracks and increasing the longevity of the asphalt pavement.

To extend the life of existing parking lot asphalt, it is essential to perform proper crack sealing and sealcoating. Slate Canyon Asphalt offers professional asphalt maintenance services that can help customers significantly extend the life of their existing parking lot asphalt.

Sealcoating with Slate Canyon Asphalt protects asphalt paving from the sun’s ultraviolet rays, which can deteriorate the binder and expose the aggregate. Parking lot sealcoating also prevents water and ice from getting into and under the pavement and causing it to crumble.

Slate Canyon Asphalt offers a selection of sealcoating products to choose from depending on customers’ preferences. They offer locally manufactured products designed to perform and withstand the ever-changing seasons.

The advantages of Slate Canyon Asphalt’s seal coat include an aggregate-based blend for skid resistance in all weather conditions, added acrylic polymers to reduce tire scuffing, improved chemical and water resistance, UV protection which extends the life of your asphalt, and environmentally friendly, safe for the environment, and non-hazardous.

Slate Canyon Asphalt recommends staying off the newly sealed surface for at least 24 hours, and preferably 48 hours, to allow the material to cure and dry before returning to traffic.
