REMOVAL & REPLACEMENT:
Asphalt removal and replacement may become necessary if an asphalt pavement has not had regular maintenance. Small cracks that inevitably form on the asphalt surface deepen over time, allowing water infiltration into the lower levels of asphalt. When water gets into these deep cracks, it can create holes in the substrate, structurally weakening the asphalt. These small sur
face cracks will also spread across the asphalt, then run deeper below those areas of the surface, so that large parts of the asphalt surface and their lower levels become affected. When this happens, superficial repairs are not sufficient to fix the structural damage.
