The Infrared Option

First Choice Asphalt offers infrared repair, a highly efficient and effective method for asphalt repair. Simply put, infrared repair involves reheating a damaged asphalt area to its original application temperature of 350°F using an infrared asphalt recycler. Once the area is heated, it is reworked, fresh material is added, and the surface is compacted, resulting in a smooth, seamless repair. The infrared recycler typically takes 7-10 minutes to reheat an area to the required 350°F at a depth of 1.5”-2”. This method ensures a durable and long-lasting repair without the need for traditional cutting or excavation.
