How does infrared asphalt repair work? It's a simple process:
- We sweep the site clear of debris and loose asphalt
- We position the infrared heater over the damaged asphalt for 7-10 minutes
- We use a steel rake to cut a square around the damage, leaving at least 6" of the heated surface undisturbed. The rake is then used to scarify the asphalt inside of the square area, recycling the existing asphalt
- We spray an "asphaltine" rejuvenator onto the existing asphalt to replace the light oils which have oxidized out with age
- We then discharge the virgin asphalt from the asphalt reclaimer and add to the repair to bring the area up-to-grade
- Finally, we apply proper compaction, insuring that the edges of the restoration are heat-seamed to the heated existing pavement. This results in a seamless repair of the asphalt.
