Oil Spot Repair

Oil spots can cause significant and permanent damage to the asphalt pavement if they are not eliminated. Nearly every parking lot experiences oil damage due to older cars leaking engine fluids. Or, on some commercial restaurant properties, an accidental spill can leave a sizable area saturated with oil. Numerous oils, including petrol-based products, antifreeze, and even kitchen cooking oils, can destroy pavement by penetrating the surface, causing it to weaken and rapidly deteriorate.

When oil penetrates an asphalt surface, the only way to permanently correct the issue is to remove the oil-saturated asphalt. Some asphalt companies will tell you to treat the spots with a primer and then seal coat. Solvents and primers are not an entirely effective way to correct oil spill damage: they provide only a short-term solution to clean the area and help the seal coat adhere to oil-damaged pavement.

Conventional saw cut repair methods are not only too costly for a minor oil spot repair. Most asphalt companies charge over $1,100 to fix even a single minor deficiency, and they leave an unsightly seamed patch right in front of your business. Our Pothole Heroes infrared pavement repair method can properly correct an oil spill in a cost-effective and timely manner by heating the area and removing the 2″-3″ of oil-saturated surface material. We then blend fresh asphalt to the remaining healthy asphalt and compact for a seamless patch.

Clean NEW Oil Spots Immediately

If an oil spot is less than 2 or 3 days old, it may not have had time to absorb it into the asphalt pavement. Try washing the oil away using hot water, a mild detergent (NOT a strong degreaser!), and a soft brush. Once you have cleaned the oil as best you can, test the spot by gently prodding it with a screwdriver. If the pavement crumbles or breaks apart in any way, the binders in the asphalt are already breaking down; you will need to call Pothole Heroes for an infrared pavement patch.

Testimonials

What our clients say

As President of the Bunker Hill Condominium Association, representing the Board, we highly recommend Pothole Heroes. We have worked with many companies on different projects, but I have to say that we were mostly impressed with Pothole Heroes. They far exceeded our expectations. From creating a professional proposal, which outlined scope of work, to executing the project, Pothole Heroes checked off all of the boxes. There techs began on time, and they were professional and courteous, from start to finish. The finish product looks outstanding. Our community is very happy with the resealing project, looks beautiful. Without a doubt, we would hire Heroes for any future parking lot projects and highly recommend Heroes to anyone

I went to their website, completed the request form, and within minutes was contacted by a professional. Daniel called me; I texted him pictures, he communicated clearly what the job entailed, explained the amount of time the repair would take and the minimum charge since it was a small job. I accepted the terms, was emailed the proposal and was given a time. Daniel and his crew showed up EARLY and did a clean, professional restoration to the trench that was left by my other contractor and the large oops that was left in the road. If you want a professional job for a very fair price, hire this firm.

Brad Jones and crew did an awesome job . The guys did multiple areas asphalt patching in the community. These guys were up for the challenge with tree roots.

These guys do great work. They are true professionals. They recently fixed a larger pothole in our office parking lot in Casselberry. They worked quickly and efficiently and also respectfully closed off the necessary area without creating an issue. Recommended.

I was highly impressed with how quick Carlos was with his response. He put together a very professional proposal for our board members to look at and understand the process. We have to get the board to vote but if I was picking who we would go with it would hands down be this company.

I have hired Pothole Heroes for multiple jobs and am always impressed with their work and customer service. Their crews are professional and easy to work with. Keep up the good work!

Pothole Heroes did an excellent job on our parking lot. They were willing to do the work on a Sat. & Sun. to accommodate us. Would highly recommend for all parking lot work.

Communication was great. The team showed up on time and was professional. Dean and Zach went above and beyond with working with my schedule and providing fair/quality solution. Will be using them on future projects for sure.

Our condo community hired Pothole Heroes to repair potholes and repaint our parking stripes and speed bumps. They did an excellent job and I will recommend hiring them again in the future.
