Asphalt Milling and Resurfacing in Austin

In the first few years after a brand-new asphalt lot is installed, minor cracks and potholes can often be repaired entirely with local patch jobs or a new asphalt overlay. As the years keep ticking by, though, the likelihood that structural problems with your lot will penetrate deeper and deeper under the surface layer gets higher and higher. The longer you wait to deal with those problems, the more likely they will be expensive and inconvenient to fix.

Asphalt milling and resurfacing in Austin can extend the lifespan of your lot by several years and provide a host of other financial and personal benefits. It’s also a big job that you’ll want to have done right, so it’s worth seeking help from an asphalt company that puts honesty and integrity at the front of every job they take on.

What Kinds of Problems May Make Resurfacing Necessary?

Milling and resurfacing an Austin asphalt job is a bit more in-depth than just adding a fresh asphalt overlay. It involves stripping a significant amount of old asphalt away to address problems that go all the way down into the subgrade foundation of the asphalt lot. More specifically, milling and resurfacing may be the best course of action if you’re dealing with issues like:

• Widespread cracks and other flaws in the outermost asphalt layer that might allow water or dirt to get into and damage underlying layers
• “Bleeding” of oil-based asphalt binders through gaps in the asphalt aggregate
• Separation or disintegration of individual asphalt aggregate pieces
• Small potholes and fissures over an otherwise undamaged base layer

Once the damaged outer layer of asphalt is milled and removed, the base layer can be resurfaced, smoothed out, and repainted so that the lot looks as good as new without needing to be completely relaid and repaved.

Benefits to Milling and Resurfacing Asphalt Lots

Milling and resurfacing your asphalt lot in Austin could make it last several more years before needing a full replacement. Milling and resurfacing are much more environmentally friendly than a full repaving process. The milled material taken away from your lot can be reused elsewhere as gravel or even recycled into new asphalt.

Milling and resurfacing can be done much quicker than full repaving, especially if you’re proactive about identifying and addressing surface-level structural problems.
