This Simple Piece of Equipment + American Road Patch Will Be Your Holy Grail This Winter

The onset of winter often signals a slowdown, or even a complete halt, to essential road maintenance and pothole repair operations. Cold temperatures, snow, and the relentless cycle of freezing and thawing are notorious for undermining even the best conventional repairs. However, the need for safe, smooth roads doesn’t pause for the season.

The good news is that your repair work doesn’t have to stop either. It’s time to equip your team with a crucial tool, coupled with American Road Patch, that ensures your repairs last, even through the harshest winter conditions. Not to mention, add 5-10 years of life to your repairs.

The Winter Problem: Why Repairs Fail

Part of the problem is that pothole repair isn’t just one issue; it’s a mix of several. One of the most common methods during winter is what crews casually call “throw-and-go,” a repair that’s intentionally temporary and meant only to get something in the pothole quickly. But what if those throw-and-goes could be made more permanent by just adding ONE simple step?

If you're reading this, you likely already know that one of the main reasons potholes form is when water seeps into the pavement and then expands and contracts as temperatures shift. In winter, the freeze-thaw cycle accelerates this process dramatically. Even a standard repair, temporary or not, often leaves seams and edges where water can work its way back in. When that water freezes, it expands, pushes the patch out, and the pothole returns, sometimes within days.

This ongoing cycle of patching and failure is costly, frustrating, and inefficient. It wastes materials, consumes labor, and leaves roads that never stay fixed for long.

The Solution: American Road Patch is Your Winter MVP

American Road Patch™ is not a replacement for your existing repair materials; it is the critical final step that transforms a temporary fix into a long-lasting solution.

Don’t throw out your inventory! Simply ADD this to your process, and you’ll be making the best pothole repairs around.

This innovative, peel-and-seal patch goes right over your completed repair, acting as a durable, impenetrable shield. Once tamped or rolled, it bonds tightly to the surface, creating a seal that is stronger than the surrounding pavement.

Key Advantages of the American Road Patch:

• Benefit for Winter Repairs

• Peel-and-Seal Technology

• Easy, fast application that requires no special equipment or change to your existing repair process.

• Locks Out Moisture

• Crucial for winter, as it prevents water, snowmelt, and ice from penetrating the repair seams.

• Prevents Freeze-Thaw Damage

• By sealing the repair, it eliminates the primary cause of winter pothole failure, extending the life of the patch.

• Outlasts Snow Plows

• The durable, low-profile design is built to withstand the scraping and force of snow plows, ensuring the repair stays put.

• Extends Repair Lifespan

• It reinforces traditional repairs to last longer, seal tighter, and protect against the elements, extending the life of conventional pothole repair to a remarkable 5-10 year lifespan.

A Simple Fix for Freezing Temperatures

But wait, it’s freezing? Won’t the patch have trouble sticking? You’re right, in freezing temperatures, the adhesive on any patch will have trouble bonding effectively. But there is a SIMPLE fix that is easily accessible!

Solution: Use an infrared asphalt heater to quickly warm the repair area. This simple step ensures optimal adhesion, allowing you to keep your install schedule rolling regardless of the cold. Don’t let cold weather stop you. You can double or even triple your installation opportunities by working during the winter season.

Extend the Life of Your Existing Repairs

The most crucial function of American Road Patch is its ability to extend the life of your existing repairs. It takes the methods you already use and makes them stronger. By adding this simple, final step, you are protecting your investment in materials and labor against the elements.

A smarter way to make your road repairs last is to ensure that moisture cannot get in. American Road Patch provides that, allowing you to confidently make repairs that will last through the winter and beyond.

Don’t change your methods, strengthen them.
