As we experience extreme weather conditions, it’s a great reason why you simply cannot wait to have a potholes repaired, especially during the cold winter months. The increase in rainfall, wild temperature swings and the freeze-thaw cycle can turn small cracks into small potholes and small potholes into gaping car eaters.

​

It is good practice that all municipal agencies and anybody else in charge of any paved areas to go out and inspect their asphalt regularly (particularly in the winter).

​

Bottom line is that potholes are a safety issue. The safe, responsible thing to do is get these filled before they become monsters. This helps keep everyone safer, winter, spring, summer and autumn.
