It’s best to address cracks and potholes as soon as they appear. Delaying repairs can lead to more extensive damage, which can be costlier to fix. Timely patchwork helps maintain the integrity of your asphalt and extends its lifespan.
Cracks and potholes are typically caused by a combination of factors, including heavy traffic, temperature fluctuations, water infiltration, and general wear and tear. Over time, these factors weaken the asphalt, leading to visible damage.
While some patchwork can be done in cooler temperatures, the best results are achieved in dry, warm weather. Rain and extreme cold can affect the curing process, so we typically recommend scheduling repairs during milder conditions.
The time required depends on the extent of the damage and the size of the area being repaired. Small repairs can often be completed within a few hours, while larger or more complex repairs may take a day or more.
We strive to ensure that the patched areas blend seamlessly with your existing asphalt. While there may be slight color differences initially, the patched areas typically weather to match the surrounding asphalt over time.
It’s generally recommended to wait at least 24 to 48 hours before allowing vehicle traffic on the repaired areas. This gives the patchwork time to properly set and ensures a durable finish.
If you have a plumbing emergency, such as a burst pipe or overflowing toilet, it's important to turn off the water supply to your home and call a plumber immediately. Some plumbers offer emergency services and can respond quickly to these types of situations.
Plumbers use a variety of tools, including pipe wrenches, pliers, pipe cutters, and soldering tools. They may also use cameras and other equipment to inspect pipes and diagnose problems.
