Why potholes form in Palm Springs

Desert heat dries out asphalt fast, and the rare heavy storm can bring flash runoff and sand across pavement. Potholes start when water gets through cracks into the base, and traffic then breaks up the weakened asphalt. In Palm Springs, the main local factor is extreme heat and rare flash storms.

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.
Seal heat-opened cracks, clear sand from drains, and make sure drainage paths are open because desert storms deliver a lot of water at once.
