Common Driveway Problems and Their Causes
What damages asphalt and concrete surfaces?
Asphalt driveways commonly suffer from linear and block cracking, alligator cracking, potholes, edge breakage, rutting, and raveling. These issues stem from water infiltration, UV oxidation, repeated freeze–thaw cycles, heavy vehicle loads, and insufficient base support or drainage. Oil and coolant spills can soften asphalt binders, accelerating raveling and surface deterioration if left untreated.
Concrete driveways often experience hairline and map cracking, slab settlement, joint failures, spalling, and surface scaling. Root intrusion, subbase movement, freeze–thaw stress, de-icing chemicals, and improper air entrainment during the original pour can all contribute. Early intervention keeps minor flaws from spreading, preserves structural integrity, and helps you avoid premature replacement.
Proven solutions for long-term performance
For asphalt, we route and clean cracks, then apply hot-pour rubberized sealant to keep water out and prevent the crack from returning. Localized failures are corrected with infrared thermal repairs or full-depth patches where the base is rebuilt, compacted, and capped with hot-mix asphalt. Edge repairs restore confinement, while drainage improvements and base stabilization ensure problems don’t return.
For concrete, we address trip hazards and settlement with slab lifting (polyurethane foam or cementitious grout, as appropriate), repair spalls with polymer-modified mortars, and reseal joints using high-grade elastomeric sealants. When surfaces are structurally sound but weathered, asphalt driveways benefit from a sand-filled, polymer-modified sealcoat applied under the right conditions, while concrete receives breathable silane/siloxane sealers for moisture defense. We follow industry best practices and material specifications to maximize durability.
What to expect from inspection to final seal
Assessment begins with a detailed surface and base evaluation. We identify distress types, measure crack widths, check drainage paths and downspout discharge, and inspect edges and transitions to garage slabs or sidewalks. You receive a clear, line-item proposal explaining repair options, materials, and comparative timelines so you can make an informed choice.
Preparation includes site protection, cleaning, vegetation removal, routing and drying cracks, and saw-cutting perimeters for clean patch edges. We heat, place, and compact asphalt at the correct temperatures and lift thicknesses, and use proper bonding agents and dowels for concrete where required. Quality checks verify compaction, levelness, and adhesion before we open the area to limited use.
Finishing and care wrap up the job. We schedule sealcoating when the surface is cured and conditions are ideal, mark off the driveway for safe reopening, and provide care instructions—such as limiting sharp turning, avoiding heavy loads during cure, and using sand instead of aggressive de-icers. A maintenance plan outlines inspection intervals and reseal timelines to extend service life.
