Yes we can. Repairs can be carried out any time of day or night. A useable supply of asphalt is kept on hand 24 hours a day in case an emergency repair is necessary. If desired, evening work can be scheduled to create the least amount of impact on your customers. The Thermal bonding process can also be done in cold weather. Many pavement defects can be repaired if temperatures are above 25 degrees F.
EZ Pavement Repair’s Thermal Repair process utilizes an Infrared Heating System to deep heat the existing asphalt. The repair is bonded with heat leaving no seams like traditional saw cutting methods or thin layers of asphalt covering the top of the defect known as skin patches or overlays.
Infrared are rays of light just beyond red in the spectrum. These rays of light cannot be seen but produce heat deep inside an object. Heat is a form of energy caused by movement of molecules. Infrared heaters move molecules deep inside the asphalt heating it from within. When heat is applied to the surface of asphalt with a hand held torch or other flame producing devices, the oils are evaporated and the aggregate separates which changes the inherent characteristics of the pavement. This causes an inferior repair. Because of its Infrared Deep Heating System, the Thermal Repair is a superior process.

Thermal Bonding covers a multitude of pavement defects. The most
popular instances are, potholes, high spots, uneven seams, manholes
& storm drains, resetting utility lids, bird baths & puddles,
raveling asphalt, water flow correction, surface cracking, wide crack
mending, pavement stamping, trench repairs, speed bump installation or
removal, handicap ramps, catch basins, oil spots and sunken utility
cuts.
Consumers can feel good about taking advantage of this process because it recycles the asphalt. We are actually using your old asphalt. There is very little waste compared to other methods of pavement repair.
Thermal repair can be used for and is more economical for both small and large defects. From crack mending to potholes to utility trench repair it is the best choice.
NO. Thermal repair is the best repair for non-base related defects.
We can make that repair more durable and last longer. Do it yourself and skin patch methods are temporary and saw cut repairs leave breaches (seams) in the asphalt allowing water to seap though which will shorten the life of the repair.
EZ Pavement Repair can apply a thermal repair to these situations saving you time and money in the long run.
