Why Do Potholes Keep Appearing Again And Again?

November 23, 2016 11:35 am Filed to: Cars by Jerry

Every driver hates potholes because they can cause serious damage to the wheel and the suspension of the car. This damage can potentially cost thousands of dollars to repair. Potholes can also appear on driveways, which is extremely annoying for homeowners if they want to park their car there and not on the road.

There are several reasons why potholes keep appearing in roads and on driveways. If this problem occurs then pothole repairs in Perth will be necessary. These repairs will make roads and driveways smooth again. Read this helpful guide in order to understand why potholes occur.

Constant Use Of The Roads And Driveways

The most common reason for potholes appearing is when heavy vehicles constantly drive up and down on the roads. The immense weight of the cars will cause concrete to split and become dented over a number of years. This can make driving extremely difficult, and in some cases can lead to accidents and damaged suspension.

Any cracks or potholes should be dealt with as soon as possible. This swift action will prevent the potholes from getting any worse. Large amounts of potholes are a nuisance. It will be necessary to keep a close eye on the roads or the driveway to make sure that the damage does not re-occur. Visit protecasphalt.com.au for road repairs that are effective.

Extreme Weather Conditions

Extreme weather conditions can make roads and driveways extremely susceptible to damage. Rainwater can wear away the surface of the road and make it softer, whilst extreme temperatures can cause the road to melt or crack. Small dents can quickly turn into large potholes because of the pressure that is applied by cars driving over the top.

Because Australia experiences such high summer temperatures, it could be necessary for potholing to be carried out several times a year on roads and driveways.

Poor Quality Of The Initial Road Laying

If asphalt or concrete is mixed and laid properly, then the roads will be extremely resistant to potholes. They will be able to withstand extreme weather conditions and the pressure of lots of cars driving on the surface. Given this particular reason, it happens to be a preferred method of laying for reputed contractors such as those available on https://concretecompanycharlottenc.com/.

However, the concrete or asphalt needs to be given adequate time to set before lots of cars are driven on the surface. This is the reason why many road repairs are carried out at night when there are fewer cars about.

Splits and potholes will appear quickly if the road surface has not been laid properly. Thus, it becomes crucial to hire qualified tarmac contractors yorkshire, or any other place for that matter. If not laid properly, the entire surface will have to be removed before it is completely re-laid and allowed to be set in place. Cars will be able to drive much more easily on the new road surface.

As this guide has shown, there are a few key reasons as to why potholes keep occurring in roads and on driveways. Make sure to fix any potholes as soon as they appear.
