When a commercial lot in Wrightsville began to show signs of major failure, the property owner knew it was time for professional repair. The pavement had developed two large, soft patches that no longer supported traffic safely. That’s when our team at ProSeal Asphalt Maintenance Inc. was called in to bring durability and structure back to the surface.
We’ve worked on many properties across Wrightsville and surrounding York County, and this project was a clear example of how targeted repairs can extend the life of asphalt without a full replacement.
Tackling the Problem Beneath the Surface
From the outside, pavement failures can look like surface wear, but in this case, the real issue was underneath. The base layer had weakened, allowing moisture and pressure to compromise the structure. Simply patching the top would have been a temporary fix, so we focused on rebuilding strength from the ground up.
We began by excavating the two failed areas, removing the damaged material entirely to reach a solid foundation. Next, we installed six inches of 2A modified stone, carefully rolling and compacting each layer. This step is critical because it provides a stable, well-draining base that prevents future shifting or cracking—especially in Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw climate.
A Strong Finish with Hot-Mix Asphalt
Once the foundation was sound, we paved the area with four inches of 19mm hot-mix asphalt, a dense, durable material ideal for heavy-use surfaces. This type of asphalt offers excellent compaction and resistance to rutting, making it a great choice for drive lanes, parking lots, and industrial areas throughout Wrightsville.
After paving, we ensured proper compaction and smooth transitions to the surrounding pavement, blending the new surface seamlessly with the existing lot. The result was a durable, smooth patch that restored both the strength and appearance of the property.
Long-Term Protection for Local Pavement
Projects like this one highlight the importance of addressing base failures promptly. In Wrightsville, where weather and moisture can quickly turn small cracks into large depressions, taking a proactive approach saves property owners from costly full-lot replacements later on.
We take pride in delivering lasting repairs that strengthen pavement from the ground up. Whether it’s a small commercial lot or a large industrial property, we approach every job with the same focus on quality materials, proper compaction, and long-term performance.
