Pothole repair guide: an alternative to hot mix for pothole repair

This pothole repair guide will explain the origin of potholes and demonstrate how EZ Street® Ambient® can help you repair the potholes in your driveway quickly and easily.

EZ Street is an extraordinary alternative to hot mix that costs more per ton than hot mix or conventional cold mix asphalt. But this product actually costs less once everything is considered.

Why EZ Street® Ambient® over traditional cold mix? The answer depends on how many times you want to repair the pothole in your driveway. Most conventional cold mix is only a temporary repair. These products break down over time and require you to repair the pothole again and again. If you want to patch a pothole and you want to do it once, the right way, EZ Street pothole patch is your best and most cost-effective pothole repair solution.

stable in a stockpile: 6months
in a pile: 50t
stacked high: 6ft

EZ Street® Ambient®, a thermally resilient pavement solution, is guaranteed to stay adaptable in a stockpile for at least six months in a 50 t pile stacked six feet high—not that you’ll need that much to fill up that nasty pothole in your driveway.

How Potholes Form

How are potholes created?

Step 1: Potholes occur when moisture penetrates cracks in the asphalt surface of a road or driveway.
Step 2: Cold weather freezes the water and causes it to expand.
Step 3: A pothole forms when dirt and gravel is forced out leaving a hole.
Step 4: The ice eventually melts and the stressed asphalt becomes a pothole.

Works in Water

Water Filled Pothole Repair & Driveway Repair

Nothing could be easier than patching a water filled pothole like this with EZ Street® Ambient®. EZ Street can be poured directly into the water. It actually displaces the water. A 50 lb bag of EZ Street makes the job even easier. It’s easy to carry and you can simply lay it on the ground next to the pothole and open it up with your shovel. It is recommended that you sweep out loose debris from the pothole to give the mix a more solid base, but it is not necessary to remove any of the water.

Once EZ Street is in the pothole, compact using a hand tamper or vehicle tire. Note that EZ Street is immediately ready for traffic. It won’t stick to vehicle tires or your shoes, but it will stick to the surrounding pavement and form an enduring repair.
