Honest Asphalt Repair Solutions — Not Temporary Fixes That Fail Again Next Year
Deteriorated commercial pavement in Northeast Ohio doesn’t improve on its own. Freeze-thaw cycles, heavy traffic, water infiltration, and deferred maintenance turn small problems into structural failures that cost significantly more to address with every passing season. Property managers and facility owners in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio know this cycle well — and Cardinal Asphalt Company, Inc. has spent more than 30 years of paving expertise breaking it with repair work that actually lasts.
We assess the root cause of every repair. If a patch will hold and solve the problem, we say so. If underlying base failure means a patch will just fail again, we tell you that too — and we won’t recommend work we don’t believe in. That’s why our customers in the Akron region have referred us to others for over three decades. Our two-year performance guarantee backs every commercial asphalt repair we perform.
Common Asphalt Problems We Repair
- Alligator Cracking — Interconnected cracking patterns that indicate base failure or structural stress; requires base-level attention, not surface patching alone
- Edge Cracking and Deterioration — Cracking and breaking along the edges of paved surfaces caused by inadequate support, vegetation intrusion, or poor drainage
- Surface Raveling — Loss of aggregate from the pavement surface caused by oxidation, deicing chemical damage, or aging binder
- Depressions and Birdbaths — Low spots that collect standing water and accelerate pavement failure; requires proper grade correction
- Widening Cracks — Cracks that have grown beyond the range of filling and sealing into the repair category
- Failed Utility Cut Areas — Asphalt around utility excavations that was improperly repaired and has reopened
Our Repair Solutions
- Full-Depth Patching — For areas with base failure, we remove asphalt and compromised base material, recompact the subbase, and install new hot mix from the bottom up
- Surface Patching — For areas where the base is sound, surface-level hot mix repairs restore the driving surface effectively
- Edge Repairs — We rebuild and stabilize deteriorated pavement edges that have cracked, crumbled, or sunk
- Grade Correction Repairs — Depressions and birdbath areas are addressed with proper subgrade work and asphalt to restore drainage
What Makes Cardinal’s Repairs Last
- Root Cause Diagnosis — We identify whether failure is surface-level or structural before determining the repair method, so we don’t patch over an underlying problem
- Proper Preparation — Repair edges are saw-cut square, existing material is removed cleanly, and the subbase is addressed before any new asphalt goes in
- Hot Mix Asphalt — We use hot mix asphalt for permanent repairs, not cold patch or temporary fill products
- Compaction Standards — Repaired areas are compacted to match surrounding pavement density for seamless performance

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine the right repair method?
We evaluate the extent and type of failure, check for base involvement, and assess drainage before recommending a repair approach. Surface-level problems get surface repairs; base problems require base-level solutions. We explain our diagnosis before any work begins.
