What is Infrared Asphalt Repair?
Infrared asphalt repair uses heat to soften existing pavement so new asphalt can be blended seamlessly into the damaged area. This allows us to repair cracks, potholes, and surface deterioration without cutting out large sections or leaving visible seams.
It’s ideal for:
- Surface level cracks and potholes
- Failed patches that keep breaking apart
- Small to mid sized damaged areas in parking lots
- Preventing damage from spreading
Because the repair bonds with the existing asphalt, it creates a stronger, longer lasting fix compared to traditional patching while reducing downtime and cost.
Infrared asphalt repair is the smart, cost-effective way to fix cracks, potholes, and surface damage without replacing the entire pavement.

Our Infrared Asphalt Repair Process in KC
Infrared asphalt repairs are a more efficient and cost-effective alternative to full pavement excavation and replacement. They prevent further damage and deterioration while minimizing your liability as a property owner. Plus, the fresh asphalt will last as long as—if not longer than—the existing asphalt.
Apply Heat
We use an infrared asphalt heater to bring the pavement to a working temperature of 300°.
Level & Compact
We remove the damaged asphalt and lay new asphalt. We then use a vibratory roller to compact the asphalt, making it even with the surrounding asphalt so no seams are left behind.
