Asphalt Repair & Patching in Moncton
Repairs that fix why the asphalt broke, not just the hole you can see, from potholes and sunken patches to crumbling edges.
Most asphalt repairs people ask for are aimed at the hole they can see, but the hole is almost never the real problem. Water found its way into the base, froze, and pushed the asphalt apart from below. Fix the hole without fixing that, and you are back in a season. Moncton Paving Co repairs asphalt the other way.
We Repair the Cause
When we look at a pothole, a sunken patch, or a crumbling edge, the first question is what let it happen. Usually it is water sitting where it should have drained, and Moncton’s freeze-thaw doing the rest. We cut the failed asphalt back to solid material, correct the drainage or base problem underneath, and lay a full-depth patch that is compacted to match the surface around it, so it does not sink or pop out later.
Patches That Hold and Blend
A repair should disappear into the driveway, not sit proud of it or slump below it. We match the depth and compaction of the surrounding asphalt and keep the edges tight, so water cannot get back in at the seams. On a driveway with a solid base, well-placed patches can add years before any bigger work is needed.
If we find the whole surface is going, we will tell you plainly rather than keep selling patches for a driveway that needs replacing.

Asphalt Repair & Patching Questions
Can a pothole just be filled, or does it need more?
A pothole is usually a symptom of water getting into the base underneath, so a scoop of cold patch tossed in the hole pops out within weeks. We cut the failed area back to solid asphalt, fix what let the water in, and lay a proper full-depth patch that holds. If several potholes are appearing across the driveway, that often points to a base problem worth looking at as a whole.
Why does the edge of my driveway keep crumbling?
Asphalt edges have nothing beside them to hold them in, so without a compacted shoulder they break away under the weight of a tire, and Moncton's freeze-thaw speeds it up. We rebuild the edge with proper support so it stops raveling instead of just filling the gap.
Is it worth repairing, or should I replace the driveway?
If the damage is in spots and the rest of the surface and base are sound, repair is the honest and cheaper answer. If the cracking is spread across the whole driveway or it is holding water in several low spots, the base has usually failed and patching becomes throwing good money after bad. We tell you which situation you are in when we look at it.
