Asphalt Patching and Pothole FAQs

What causes potholes and asphalt damage?

Potholes form when water seeps into pavement cracks, weakening the base through freeze-thaw cycles, heavy traffic, and natural wear. Over time, this breakdown causes the surface to collapse, resulting in visible and often hazardous potholes.

Yes, cold-mix asphalt can be used in colder months as a temporary fix to restore safety. However, for a more durable and long-lasting repair, we recommend infrared asphalt repairs during warmer weather, which allow for better bonding and performance.

If the damage is localized, such as a single small pothole or small cracked areas, patching is usually sufficient. However, widespread cracking, depressions, or structural failure may require full-depth asphalt replacement. Encore Pavement will assess your site and recommend the most cost-effective option.
