Repair Damaged Asphalt Before It Gets Worse

A pothole in a residential driveway can continue to deteriorate as vehicles travel over it and water enters the damaged pavement.

Burden Brothers Paving provides residential asphalt pothole repair in Columbus, Ohio for homeowners who want to address damaged sections of their driveways without automatically replacing the entire paved surface.

Depending on the condition of the driveway, we may recommend repairing the individual damaged area or considering resurfacing when deterioration is more extensive.

Commercial Parking Lot Pothole Repair

Potholes in commercial parking lots can create rough driving surfaces and negatively affect the appearance of a property. They may also continue to expand when exposed to traffic and weather.

We provide commercial pothole repair in Columbus and Central Ohio for:

• Retail properties
• Office buildings
• Shopping centers
• Apartment and multifamily properties
• Industrial properties
• Churches
• Private facilities
• Commercial parking areas

Our team can evaluate individual potholes as well as surrounding pavement that may be showing signs of deterioration.

Why Do Potholes Form?

Potholes typically develop after pavement has been weakened by a combination of moisture, traffic, weather, and deterioration.

Water can enter cracks or damaged areas in the asphalt and reach the pavement base. During cold Ohio weather, that moisture may freeze and expand. Repeated freezing and thawing, combined with vehicle traffic, can weaken the pavement until sections begin breaking apart.

Common contributors to potholes include:

• Freeze-and-thaw cycles
• Water infiltration
• Poor drainage
• Heavy vehicle traffic
• Aging asphalt
• Existing pavement cracks
• Weak pavement base
• Previous asphalt deterioration

Repairing the visible pothole is important, but the condition underneath and around the damaged area also needs to be considered.

Our Asphalt Pothole Repair Process

1. Inspect the Damaged Pavement

We evaluate the pothole, surrounding asphalt, and overall condition of the pavement to determine the extent of the damage.

2. Prepare the Repair Area

Loose and deteriorated material is removed as necessary so the repair can be made against a properly prepared area.

3. Repair the Pothole

The damaged section is repaired using an appropriate asphalt patching method based on the condition and location of the pavement.

4. Compact the Asphalt

The repair material is compacted to create a firm, finished surface capable of handling normal traffic.

5. Evaluate Surrounding Asphalt

If the surrounding pavement shows widespread deterioration, cracking, drainage problems, or base failure, we’ll explain whether additional asphalt repair or resurfacing should be considered.

Pothole Repair vs. Asphalt Resurfacing

A few isolated potholes don’t necessarily mean an entire driveway or parking lot needs to be replaced.

Pothole repair concentrates on specific damaged sections of pavement. This can make sense when most of the surrounding asphalt remains in serviceable condition.

Asphalt resurfacing may be a better option when potholes are accompanied by widespread cracking, deterioration, uneven pavement, or numerous failing areas.

Burden Brothers Paving can inspect the pavement and help determine whether targeted repairs or a more comprehensive paving solution makes sense.

Why Repair Potholes?

Potholes generally don’t improve on their own. Continued vehicle traffic and exposure to water can cause damaged areas to expand.

Professional pothole repair can help:

• Prevent damaged areas from becoming larger
• Reduce water penetration
• Create a smoother driving surface
• Improve the appearance of the pavement
• Protect surrounding asphalt
• Reduce further pavement deterioration
• Extend the useful life of otherwise serviceable pavement

Pothole Repair for Private Roads & Access Lanes

Burden Brothers Paving also provides pothole and asphalt repair for private roads, shared driveways, access lanes, and other privately maintained paved surfaces.

These areas can experience significant wear from regular traffic and may develop potholes in areas where water collects or pavement has weakened.

We can evaluate isolated damage as well as the overall condition of the roadway and recommend an appropriate repair.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pothole Repair

What causes potholes in asphalt?

Potholes commonly develop when water enters cracks or weakened areas of asphalt and reaches the pavement base. In Columbus, repeated freeze-and-thaw cycles, combined with traffic and moisture, can weaken the pavement until sections begin breaking apart.

Do you provide pothole repair in Columbus, Ohio?

Yes. Burden Brothers Paving provides asphalt pothole repair throughout Columbus and surrounding Central Ohio communities for residential driveways, commercial parking lots, private roads, access lanes, and other asphalt surfaces.

Can you repair potholes in residential driveways?

Yes. We repair potholes and other damaged areas in residential asphalt driveways. We can inspect the surrounding pavement to determine whether an individual patch is appropriate or whether more extensive asphalt repair or resurfacing should be considered.

Do you repair potholes in commercial parking lots?

Yes. We provide commercial parking lot pothole repair in Columbus, Ohio for businesses, retail properties, offices, apartment communities, industrial properties, churches, and other commercial facilities.

Should a pothole be repaired right away?

It is generally better to address a pothole before traffic, water, and weather cause the damaged area to become larger. Early repair may also help protect the surrounding asphalt from additional deterioration.

Can you just fill a pothole with new asphalt?

The appropriate repair depends on the condition of the damaged pavement. Loose and deteriorated material may need to be removed and the area properly prepared before asphalt is placed and compacted. We evaluate each damaged area before recommending a repair.

What is the difference between pothole repair and crack filling?

Crack filling is used to address appropriate cracks before they develop into more extensive pavement damage. Pothole repair addresses areas where asphalt has already broken apart or deteriorated, typically requiring removal of loose material and an asphalt patch.

When should I resurface instead of repairing potholes?

If there are only a few isolated potholes and the surrounding pavement remains in good condition, individual repairs may be appropriate. When a driveway or parking lot has numerous potholes, widespread cracking, significant deterioration, or uneven areas, asphalt resurfacing may be a better option.

How long does an asphalt pothole repair last?

The lifespan of a pothole repair depends on the condition of the surrounding pavement, drainage, traffic, underlying base, weather, and repair method. A properly prepared repair in otherwise sound pavement generally performs better than simply placing material over a deteriorated area.

How much does pothole repair cost in Columbus, Ohio?

Pothole repair costs vary depending on the number and size of the potholes, depth of the damage, pavement condition, accessibility, and amount of preparation required. Burden Brothers Paving can inspect the pavement and provide an estimate based on the work needed.

Do you repair potholes on private roads?

Yes. Burden Brothers Paving provides pothole and asphalt repair for private roads, shared driveways, access lanes, and other privately maintained asphalt surfaces in the Columbus and Central Ohio area.

Can you repair cracks and potholes during the same project?

Yes. If a property has both pavement cracks and potholes, we can evaluate the entire asphalt surface and determine which areas are appropriate for crack filling, pothole repair, patching, or other asphalt maintenance.
