INFRARED REPAIRS

Perdue’s Sealcoat & Paving, Inc is pleased to introduce infrared asphalt restoration as another one of our quality services. Infrared is the latest technological breakthrough in asphalt repairs.

At Perdue’s we use the infrared process for all the repairs that do not have base issues. With the infrared process we can achieve a seamless repair that blends beautifully with the existing pavement.

Infrared is an alternative to conventional sawcut and remove patches. Seamless infrared repairs replace conventional repair methods, using the most innovative developments in asphalt repair. The final product is NOT a patch. Instead, infrared repairs are thermally bonded to the surrounding asphalt to create a seamless repair that blends beautifully after sealcoating.

ADVANTAGES OF INFRARED REPAIRS:

1. You end up with a seamless repair. The edges are thermally bonded together during compaction because there is no cold joint to butt up to.

2. The seamless joint eliminates water penetration and further damage to surrounding areas.

3. Unsightly raveling edges that create trip hazards are eliminated.

4. The entire process is cost effective compared to saw cutting and removing the area and it does a better job.

5. The Asphalt Reclaiming Box that also works from the Infrared heat allows us to be the only contractor who can apply regular asphalt in the winter season when the asphalt plants are closed.

PROPER APPLICATIONS OF INFRARED REPAIRS:

1. Pot hole repair: with additional asphalt the process bonds the entire area together for a longer life repair.

2. High spots: easily removed by heating the area. No cutting involved.

3. Low areas: can be leveled and bonded with other asphalt.

4. Joints and overlaps: joints in pavement or over laps from partial overlays can be blended in and eliminated.

5. Oil spot removal: oil is burnt off in heating process asphalt is raked and recompacted for a perfect patch.

6. Alligator cracked areas: can be heated, asphalt added if needed, raked, recompacted. No high cost tear out or ineffective skim coats.

7. Speed Bumps can be fused to existing pavement to eliminate tires, snow plows, etc. from popping them loose.

INAPPROPRIATE APPLICATIONS:

1. Areas that are pumping heavy mud and/or water.

2. Areas with inappropriate base beneath the asphalt.

3. Areas where pavement is too thin (less than 2" before hitting rock.

4. Areas where pavement has completely failed and a full overlay is needed.
    

We feel this process will help us to better serve you. The process is a proven more efficient, longer lasting, cost effective way of repairing asphalt.
