Water is the enemy, even in a desert city. A hairline crack that sits through a September storm and a January norther becomes a pothole the first time a work truck hits it on 42nd Street.
We clean, dry, and hot-pour linear cracks. Alligator panels get cut square and replaced with hot mix, not a cold bag from the bed of a pickup. If the base is pumping, the patch includes the base. Anything else is theater.
Same-week repair windows are held for safety hazards — trip holes at a storefront, a blown panel at a shop throat — because those calls should not wait on a full overlay schedule.
