There are many advantages to using hot mix asphalt as a primary asphalt repair method, especially for driveways. For one thing, it is highly cost-effective in the long run and for another thing, in most cases it is guaranteed to last at least 25 years. For road use, however, asphalt pavement repairs might need to be done more frequently due to higher volumes of traffic.
Hot-mix asphalt repair is the best way to permanently repair potholes because they provide longer-term solutions and are cheaper in the long run than simple cold patches. Cold patch is a simple short-term solution for long-term problems such as potholes. With a simple cold patch, you just cover up the surface of the hole so that the car can still drive it, but over time, the surface cover will begin to downgrade.
Repairing potholes with hot mix asphalt is a more permanent solution that can ultimately save you long-term funding. The pits are first hollowed out and then poured hot mix of asphalt, surrounded by every possible gap, so that there is no gap in the depths of the pits. This will ensure that the pits remain sealed and cover for longer periods of time.
