Pothole repair
Built from the base up
What this service does
A pothole forms when water gets under the asphalt, softens the base, and traffic breaks the surface through. Filling the hole from the top doesn't fix that. A lasting pothole repair means cutting the damaged asphalt back to solid material, cleaning and compacting the base, and placing hot-mix asphalt rolled level with the surface. We repair potholes on driveways, lots, and lanes across Southeastern Pennsylvania and Northern Delaware, including Chester, Conshohocken, King of Prussia, and Claymont.
