Infrared asphalt repair is a technique that uses high-intensity infrared heaters to heat and soften existing pavement. The infrared process heats the damaged area to approximately 325°F.
This softening allows technicians to add hot mix asphalt and create a seamless, thermally bonded patch that matches the existing surface.
Infrared repair is a fast, cost-effective method ideal for surface-level damage, while cut-and-replace is a complete structural solution for deep pavement failures. Choosing the right one depends on balancing cost, speed, and the severity of the pavement damage.
