Why Drumheller Properties Need Professional Pothole Repair & Patching

Our Pothole Repair & Patching Process

  1. Saw-cut: Clean square edges around the damaged area — no rough hand-cuts that fail in a season.
  2. Excavate: Remove all loose, broken, and contaminated material down to a sound base.
  3. Tack-coat: Apply emulsion to the cut walls so the patch bonds to the surrounding pavement.
  4. Compact: Hot-mix asphalt placed in lifts and rolled to match surrounding grade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most Drumheller pothole repairs are completed within 48 hours of booking. For emergency repairs (liability hazards, accessibility issues), we can often respond same-day during peak season.
Hot patch (hot-mix asphalt) is the permanent repair — laid hot, compacted with a roller, bonds with the surrounding pavement. Cold patch is a temporary solution for emergencies or winter repairs when hot-mix isn't available. We recommend hot patch for any permanent repair.
Almost always because the original repair didn't address the underlying cause — usually water in the base or a structural failure. A surface patch over a failed base will reflect the failure within a season. Proper saw-cut, full-depth repair is the only fix that holds.
Yes — repair cost scales with hole size, depth, and base condition. A 2-foot pothole repaired today is a fraction of the cost of letting it grow into 10 feet of alligator cracking next year. Early repair always saves money.
