Our Asphalt Maintenance Services

Patching

Patching is a crucial maintenance service that involves repairing specific areas of asphalt surfaces by filling in potholes or damaged sections to maintain the integrity and smoothness of the pavement.

Sealcoating

Sealcoating is a protective layer applied to asphalt surfaces to shield them from the damaging effects of UV rays, water, and chemicals, helping to extend the lifespan of the pavement.

Slurry Seal

Slurry seal is a mixture of emulsified asphalt, fine aggregate, mineral filler, and water that is applied as a thin overlay to protect and renew the surface of asphalt pavements.

Crack Seal

Crack seal is a preventive maintenance method where cracks in asphalt surfaces are filled to prevent water infiltration, extending the life of the pavement.

Crack Routering

Crack routering is a process that involves creating a clean, dry reservoir in asphalt cracks to facilitate effective crack sealing and prevent further damage.

Chip Seal

Chip seal is a cost-effective surface treatment that involves applying a layer of asphalt emulsion and aggregate to protect and rejuvenate asphalt pavements.

Striping

Striping refers to the process of painting lines, symbols, and markings on asphalt surfaces for traffic control, parking lot organization, and safety compliance.

Crack/Joint Repair

Crack and joint repair involves repairing and sealing cracks and joints in asphalt surfaces to prevent water penetration and maintain the structural integrity of the pavement.

Asphalt Roto-Milling

Asphalt roto-milling is a process where the top layer of deteriorated asphalt is removed to improve the surface profile and prepare it for resurfacing.

Asphalt Mastic

Asphalt mastic is a high-quality filler material used to repair wide and deep pavement cracks, potholes, and distressed areas in asphalt surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions?

  • How Do Wyoming's Freeze-Thaw Cycles Damage Asphalt?

    Wyoming winters subject asphalt to repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Water infiltrates even hairline cracks; when temperatures drop, that water freezes and expands, widening the crack from the inside. When it thaws, water sinks deeper and the cycle repeats. Over a single Sheridan winter, this process can transform a minor crack into a pothole or cause frost heave in the base material. Addressing cracks before freeze-up each fall is one of the most effective ways to limit this progressive damage.

  • What Is the Difference Between Crack Sealing and Patching?

    Crack sealing involves applying a flexible sealant into surface-level cracks to block water infiltration before deeper structural damage occurs. Patching removes and replaces a damaged section where deterioration has already progressed to a pothole or soft spot. Both are core asphalt repair services Wharton Asphalt offers, and the right method depends on the depth, size, and cause of the damage.

  • How Does Pothole Repair Work?

    Pothole repair typically begins with cutting out the damaged area to a clean edge, removing deteriorated material, and preparing the sub-base. Fresh hot-mix or cold-patch asphalt is then compacted into the void and finished to match the surrounding surface grade. A properly executed patch restores both structural integrity and a safe, even driving surface.

  • Does Asphalt Repair Hold Up Through a Wyoming Winter?

    Properly performed asphalt repair services can hold up well through Northern Wyoming winters when the right materials and techniques are used. Timing matters: repairs made during warm, dry conditions allow materials to cure fully before freeze-up, which can significantly extend repair life. The Wharton Asphalt team understands the seasonal window for effective work in the Sheridan area and can advise on the best schedule for your project.
