Winter Pavement Repair: Keeping Detroit’s Surfaces Safe and Smooth

As the winter chill settles over Detroit, property owners and managers face unique challenges in maintaining their paved surfaces. At ARM Pavement Services, we understand the importance of winter pavement repair in keeping our city’s roads, parking lots, and driveways safe and functional. With our expertise and dedication to quality, we’re here to help you navigate the complexities of cold weather pavement maintenance.

The Challenges of Winter Pavement Repair in Detroit

Detroit’s winters can be particularly harsh on paved surfaces. With our metro area’s diverse population and bustling economy, the demand for well-maintained pavement remains high year-round. However, the freeze-thaw cycles, snow, and ice typical of our winters can wreak havoc on asphalt and concrete surfaces, leading to cracks, potholes, and other damage.

Common Winter Pavement Issues:

1. Cracks from freeze-thaw cycles
2. Potholes formed by water infiltration and freezing
3. Surface deterioration due to de-icing chemicals
4. Damage from snow removal equipment

Effective Winter Pavement Repair Techniques

At ARM Pavement Services, we employ a range of techniques to address winter pavement damage:

Cold Patch Asphalt Repair

For emergency repairs during the coldest months, we use high-quality cold patch materials. This allows us to fill potholes and cracks quickly, even when temperatures are too low for traditional hot mix asphalt.

Infrared Asphalt Repair

Our advanced infrared technology allows us to heat and rework existing asphalt, creating seamless repairs that bond well with the surrounding pavement. This method is particularly effective for addressing surface irregularities and small areas of damage.

Crack Sealing

Preventing water infiltration is crucial in winter. We use specialized sealants designed to remain flexible in cold temperatures, effectively sealing cracks and preventing further damage.

Preventative Measures for Winter Pavement Protection

While repair is essential, prevention is equally important. Here are some steps we recommend:

1. Pre-Winter Inspections: Schedule a thorough inspection before the first frost to identify and address potential issues.
2. Proper Drainage: Ensure your pavement has adequate drainage to prevent water accumulation and ice formation.
3. Sealcoating: Apply a protective sealcoat in the fall to shield your pavement from winter damage.
4. Prompt Snow and Ice Removal: Regular clearing of snow and ice helps prevent surface damage and reduces the need for excessive de-icing chemicals.
