Potholes
What they are, what causes them, and why they need attention.
Potholes in your parking lot can create safety hazards, frustrate your patrons, and lead to costly pavement damage. But how do they form in the first place?
1. Water moisture seeps through the cracks in your asphalt, weakening the pavement and settling beneath the surface.
2. Freeze-thaw cycle during winter causes the water to expand and contract, putting pressure on the pavement.
3. Underlying material weakens as passing vehicles break apart the surface, leaving behind a potholes.
The good news? You have repair options. Depending on the severity of the damage, pothole repairs can range from temporary patching to full-depth removal and replacement. Addressing the problem early can help prevent further deterioration, protect your patrons, and save your property from more extensive repairs down the road.

Throw and Roll
A temporary repair method.
Need a quick fix for an unexpected pothole? The Throw and Roll method is a basic, temporary pothole repair solution designed for emergency solutions when immediate pavement repairs are needed.
This method involves filling the pothole with cold-mix or hot-mix asphalt, depending on weather conditions, material availability, and project requirements. The asphalt is then compacted using a tamper, truck tire, or heavy vehicle to help secure the patch in place.
While Throw and Roll pothole repair can provide a quick solution to damaged asphalt parking lots, drive lanes, and other commercial pavement, it is not a permanent fix. These patches are intended for short-term use and may require additional repairs once conditions allow for a more durable solution.
Our experienced team at Mad Jack’s is ready to help keep your parking lot safe, functional, and looking its best.
Infrared Patching
A targeted asphalt repair technique.
When pavement damage strikes, Mad Jack’s is ready to kick some asphalt! Infrared asphalt patching is an efficient repair method that uses heat to soften existing asphalt, allowing it to blend with new hot-mix asphalt. The repaired area is then compacted to create a seamless, integrated patch that restores the pavement surface.
Infrared asphalt repair is ideal for addressing localized pavement damage including:
- Potholes
- Surface deterioration
- Pavement heaving
Its heat-based process can help produce durable repairs in a range of weather conditions when temperatures and site conditions are suitable.
With proper installation and maintenance, infrared asphalt patches can last several years. However, if the underlying base has deteriorated or suffered structural failure, infrared patching may only provide a short-term solution.
Mad Jack’s Asphalt & Concrete can help determine whether infrared patching or a more extensive asphalt repair is the right fit for your commercial parking lot or drive lanes.
Asphalt Milling and Resurfacing
Renewing an existing pavement surface.
Asphalt milling and resurfacing also known as milling & overlay is a cost-effective solution for restoring your parking lot and extending the life of your asphalt pavement. Mad Jack’s provides commercial asphalt milling and resurfacing services to address surface cracking, asphalt deterioration, and pavement shoving before they lead to more expensive repairs.
The process involves grinding and removing the damaged top layer of asphalt, creating a smooth, even surface for a new hot mix asphalt overlay. Asphalt milling and resurfacing is ideal when the pavement’s underlying base remains structurally sound, allowing you to restore your parking lot without the added expense of full-depth asphalt removal and replacement.
In addition to saving money, asphalt milling is an environmentally friendly option because it allows existing asphalt to be reclaimed and recycled. Routine inspections and timely maintenance can help identify early signs of pavement damage before potholes and more extensive deterioration develop.
Trust Mad Jack’s to help protect your investment with reliable, affordable asphalt milling and resurfacing solutions.
Asphalt Removal and Replacement
Replacing severely damaged asphalt.
- Severe cracking
- Extensive potholes
- Pavement deterioration beyond surface cracks
The process begins by saw-cutting and removing the damaged asphalt to its full depth, typically 4-5 inches, while preserving the existing stone base when possible. If the underlying sub-base is damaged or drainage issues are present, additional stone may be installed to improve stability and drainage. New hot-mix asphalt is then applied in compacted layers, typically 2-inch lifts for parking lots, to create a durable, smooth surface.
The amount of asphalt that needs to be removed and replaced depends on the extent and severity of the damage. Mad Jack’s can help identify the appropriate repair solution to restore pavement, improve durability, and protect your investment to come.
