Why potholes form in Long Beach

Low-lying coastal lots near the port and shoreline can hold water after heavy rain, and salt air already ages asphalt binder faster than inland. Potholes start when water gets through cracks into the base, and traffic then breaks up the weakened asphalt. In Long Beach, the main local factor is coastal moisture and salt air.

Our pothole repair process

Saw-cut or mill a clean, square edge around the damaged area.
Remove loose asphalt and failed base material.
Restore and compact the base where it has softened.
Tack the edges, place hot mix asphalt and compact it in lifts.
Seal the joint so water cannot get back in.

Temporary vs. permanent repairs

During wet weather we can place temporary cold patch to remove a hazard quickly. Permanent hot mix repairs are done once the area is dry, so the patch bonds and lasts.

Preventing the next pothole

Seal cracks early.
Keep drains and gutters clear.
Seal coat aged pavement.
Rinse salt residue and sand off the surface and out of drains, reseal oxidized areas, and check low corners where a high water table keeps the base damp.
