Big Easy Asphalt has established an asphalt repair division addressing multiple categories of pavement damage for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. The New Orleans-based paving company provides repair services for potholes, deteriorated asphalt, stress cracks, utility cuts, handicap ramps, and low spots at manhole basins.
The company's asphalt repair services address damage caused by traffic, weather conditions, and normal wear and tear. Big Easy Asphalt uses specialized equipment to address various types of damage that occur on asphalt surfaces. The company's repair team works on asphalt challenges using paving techniques developed through its work across property types in the New Orleans area.
Pothole repair represents a significant portion of Big Easy Asphalt's repair work. Potholes form when the weather changes and standing water weakens the asphalt. Heavy traffic can also cause the surface material to move or shift. Potholes are depressions on asphalt pavement that can penetrate through the foundation if not addressed. The company uses asphalt patching material for small potholes and high-grade pothole patches for larger ones, selecting materials to withstand heavy traffic conditions. Unrepaired potholes can cause damage to vehicles and present trip hazards to pedestrians.
Big Easy Asphalt addresses stress cracks through multiple repair methods based on crack size and type. Small cracks are repaired with crack sealant to prevent moisture from reaching the subgrade layers, followed by seal coating application. Cracks larger than half an inch wide require solutions designed to seal the damage and prevent further deterioration. Block cracks, which occur due to temperature changes, are repaired with crack sealant or removed and replaced with an overlay for larger affected areas.
The company's repair process follows a defined methodology beginning with surface cleaning. Cleaning allows the tack coat to adhere properly to surfaces, as new asphalt can crack, raise, or sink without proper preparation. The tack coat is applied to repair area edges, followed by dry hot plant mix asphalt that is leveled and compacted. The surface is reassessed to confirm it can withstand heavy traffic and prevent water intrusion into the subsurface and foundation.
Big Easy Asphalt performs utility cut repairs by installing, replacing, or repairing underground utilities. The company coordinates with agencies involved to ensure asphalt pavement is patched with utilities intact. Specialized technology enables precise utility cuts that match the existing asphalt pavement surface, allowing the utility patch to perform comparably to the surrounding pavement.
The company installs handicap ramps as part of its asphalt repair services, providing accessibility for individuals with disabilities while following industry standards for slope and surface texture. Big Easy Asphalt also repairs low spots at manhole basins, applying proper slope during the repair process to guide water toward drainage points and prevent pooling that causes further pavement damage.
The repair division operates alongside Big Easy Asphalt's other asphalt work, which includes projects for driveways, parking lots, and private roads. The company addresses damage ranging from hairline cracks to potholes across residential, commercial, and industrial properties in the New Orleans area.
The company operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with Saturday and Sunday closed. Big Easy Asphalt can be contacted at (504) 294-8618 from its New Orleans location. The asphalt repair division focuses on extending pavement life by addressing deterioration before damage reaches the foundation layer, serving property owners who require maintenance on existing asphalt surfaces.
