?Potholes? are created when moisture seeps into the pavement, gets cold, expands and then thaws. This weakens the ?#?pavement?.
Traffic loosens it even more, and it eventually crumbles and pops out.
Pothole repairs are performed by removing out the damaged ?#?asphalt? with a jackhammer or masonry saw to create a neat rectangle.
When the excess asphalt is removed, an adhesive is applied and asphalt is added in layers. It is leveled off and compacted with a pavement roller.
