In more severe cases of asphalt failure, a long-term and cost-effective solution is to resurface the asphalt pavement (also referred to as an overlay). If you notice grade depressions (standing water on the pavement) and/or large sections of alligatored areas (interconnecting cracks forming a series of blocks resembling an alligator’s skin) it is a good idea to have your pavement resurfaced.
Asphalt Resurfacing Procedure
This process consists of several steps including preparing and cleaning the area prior to performing work, leveling low asphalt areas, milling for smooth transitions, adjusting of all drainage structures, and many other steps unique to each site.
