Spring Season Brings Damaging Potholes

Potholes are created when moisture seeps into the pavement, freezes, expands and then thaws. This weakens the pavement. Traffic loosens it even more, and it eventually crumbles and pops out.

Why do so many potholes occur in the spring?

Spring temperatures warm the cold pavement, melting and evaporating any ice. This creates air pockets that can eventually cause the pavement to break up. A winter of heavy snow or rain and several freeze-thaw cycles can mean a big pothole season ahead.

How damaging are potholes?

The photo to the right illustrates just how damaging potholes can be. Potholes are can also damage suspension components and misalign your vehicle. To insure your safety, a complete inspection should be performed on your vehicle along with an alignment check and tire balance.
