Asphalt Cracking:
There are many different types of cracking that can occur on asphalt surfaces. Fatigue cracking, also called alligator cracking, refers to a number of small, interconnected cracks that can result from overloading. Additionally, you may see edge cracking along the sides of your asphalt surface, or longitudinal cracks which may form as a result of shrinkage or incorrect installation.
Asphalt Disintegration:
Although “disintegration” may sound like an intense type of asphalt damage, this type of problem has a more common name – potholes. These usually occur over time, following a high volume of traffic over the same portion of your asphalt surface, and generally result from small pieces of asphalt breaking off of the original surface.
Asphalt Distortion:
Distortion comes from asphalt instability. There are many different types of distortions, including rutting, shoving, and upheaval. Depressions are also common, and often look like pavement dips caused by settlement or poor construction. If an asphalt patch fails, it’s most commonly considered a distortion, too.
