Every pothole should always be seen as a liability for businesses. In Horsham, PA, a commercial property owner recognized the need to address growing pavement damage in their parking lot before it escalated. Associated Paving Contractors, Inc. (APCON) stepped in with a durable, cost-effective asphalt patching solution.
This project involved repairing potholes in a high-traffic section of the parking lot. Our goal was simple: restore safety for both vehicle and foot traffic while improving the overall appearance of the lot.
Identifying the Problem: Potholes Threatening Pavement Integrity
The parking lot had begun to show signs of serious wear. Between fluctuating Northeast Pennsylvania weather—especially winter freeze-thaw cycles—and the daily strain from commercial traffic, several areas had developed square-shaped potholes and surface cracking.
These depressions not only looked unsightly but also posed a risk to customers and delivery drivers navigating the lot. The business knew that timely action was essential to prevent further asphalt deterioration and costly resurfacing in the future.
One of APCON’s Expertise: Professional Pothole Patching
We began the process with a thorough surface assessment, identifying potholes and marking them for removal. To make sure each repair would last, our team created clean, square cuts around the damaged areas—an approach that promotes stronger bonding between new and existing asphalt.
Using commercial-grade saw-cutting tools, we carefully removed the deteriorated pavement, producing vertical edges that help prevent premature separation. This attention to detail lays the groundwork for a durable, professional patch.
Once the damaged material was cleared, we inspected the sub-base beneath each pothole. Any loose or weakened sections were re-compacted to stabilize the foundation and ensure long-term performance.
We then installed hot mix asphalt in layers, compacting it thoroughly to align with the existing pavement in both height and slope.
As a final step, we sealed the edges of each patch with tack coat, creating a water-resistant bond that prevents moisture intrusion and extends the life of the repair. The result is a clean, durable finish that blends seamlessly into the lot.
Results That Speak for Themselves
APCON made sure that the patches were clean, smooth, and well-blended into the surrounding pavement. This quick and professional pothole repair not only eliminated safety hazards but significantly improved the lot’s appearance.
The client was pleased with the results—achieving a refreshed, functional parking lot without the need for a full asphalt paving project.
