Potholes

Structural failure in the pavement caused by the localized disintegration of the asphalt surface, often resulting from water infiltration and traffic wear. 

Utility Openings

​Access points cut into the pavement to reach underground infrastructure like water, gas, or electrical lines.

Handicapped Ramps

​Sloped transitions (ADA ramps) installed between the sidewalk and the street to provide access for wheelchairs and strollers.

Redirecting Water Flows

​The use of grading, berms, or drains to change the path of surface water to prevent pooling or foundation damage.

Bird Baths (Puddles)

​Shallow depressions in the pavement that collect water. They indicate a settlement in the subgrade or a low spot in the surface layer.

Trench Repairs

​The process of filling and patching a long, narrow strip of pavement that was removed to install or repair underground utilities.

Rough Surfaces

​An uneven or coarse pavement texture that can be caused by "raveling" (the loss of aggregate) or poor initial installation.

Pavement Texturing

A general term for altering the surface of the ground to improve skid resistance or for aesthetic purposes.

Oxidation

A natural aging process where sun exposure and air cause the asphalt’s oils to dry out, turning the pavement from black to gray and making it brittle.

Man Holes & Storm Drains

Vertical pipes or chambers that provide access to sewer systems or manage surface water runoff.

Oil Spots

Darkened areas where petroleum products (oil, gas, or grease) have leaked onto the asphalt, softening the binder and eventually causing the surface to crumble.

Bumps & High Spots

Upward displacements of the pavement surface caused by swelling in the subgrade or shifting underlying materials.

Speed Bump Installation

The process of constructing a raised ridge across a roadway to force motorists to slow down.

Paver Seams

The visible joints between individual interlocking pavers or bricks in a paved surface.
