Common Questions

Seattle’s frequent rain can complicate asphalt repair. Moisture can prevent proper bonding of repair materials and accelerate damage. Contractors often use specialized quick-drying products and may schedule repairs during drier periods. They also ensure proper drainage to prevent future water-related damage.

Common types of asphalt damage in Seattle include:

  • Potholes (due to freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain)
  • Cracks (from water penetration and temperature fluctuations)
  • Raveling (surface deterioration from moisture and oxidation)
  • Rutting (from heavy traffic and softening of asphalt in wet conditions)

The ideal time for asphalt repairs in Seattle is during the drier months, typically from late spring to early fall (May to September). This allows for better curing of repair materials and reduces the risk of rain interfering with the repair process.

The lifespan of asphalt repairs in Seattle can vary depending on the type of repair, quality of work, and exposure to traffic and weather. Minor repairs like crack sealing may last 1-3 years, while more substantial repairs like patching can last 3-5 years or more with proper maintenance.

While it’s possible to perform emergency repairs during the rainy season, it’s not ideal. Many contractors use specialized quick-drying products for wet-weather repairs. However, for best results and longevity, it’s preferable to schedule non-emergency repairs during drier periods.

To prevent moss and algae growth:

  • Ensure proper drainage to avoid standing water
  • Keep the surface clean and free of organic debris
  • Consider applying a sealcoat with algae-resistant additives after repairs
  • Trim overhanging vegetation to reduce shade and moisture retention

Yes, Seattle’s focus on sustainability has led to more eco-friendly repair options:

  • Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) for patching
  • Cold-mix asphalt repairs that require less energy to produce
  • Water-based, low-VOC sealants and repair materials
  • Porous asphalt options for areas needing better drainage

Consider these factors:

  • Age: If the asphalt is over 20 years old, replacement might be more cost-effective
  • Extent of damage: If more than 30-40% of the surface is damaged, replacement is often recommended
  • Drainage issues: If there are significant drainage problems, a full reconstruction might be necessary
  • Frequency of repairs: If you’re repairing the same areas repeatedly, it might be time for replacement
  • It’s best to have a professional assessment, as they can consider Seattle’s specific climate challenges in their recommendation.
