Everything You Need to Know About Pothole Repairs Sunshine Coast

There’s nothing worse than driving along a road, when out of nowhere comes a pothole! If you’re lucky and there is no one on the road next to you, you may have time to safely avoid it… but often times the pothole may not be spotted until it’s too late, or cause a quick reaction that affects other drivers on the road… which is why pothole repairs Sunshine Coast is so important!

Believe it or not, potholes can cause significant damage to vehicles and be a nightmare to repair. Thankfully at Asphalt Concepts, we have all the answers you need when it comes to pothole repairs Sunshine Coast. Here’s everything you need to know.

Why Potholes Need to be Repaired ASAP

As mentioned above, potholes can cause serious damage to vehicles. In fact, according to an article in Forbes, in America pothole damage is estimated to cost drivers approximately $3 billion per year! Yikes!

No doubt the numbers would be similar in Southeast Queensland, where frequent tropical storms, floods and the natural elements can cause significant damage to roads. In addition, high traffic areas will naturally wear roads and carparks, also making them susceptible to potholes over time.

If not looked after right away, potholes can grow in size and end up becoming more difficult and more expensive to repair.

We always recommend giving us a call as soon as you’ve noticed a pothole, as we can provide very quality repairs extremely quickly, designed to last. While asphalt pothole repairs Sunshine Coast is our main area of focus, we can also offer concrete pothole repairs for existing concrete roads and carparks.

Aside From Repairs, What Else Can Be Done to Avoid Pothole Damage to My Vehicle?

While the first line of defense against potholes is always getting them repaired as quickly as possible, in the meantime there are other things that can help you avoid significant damage to your vehicle, such as:

    • Ensure Proper Inflation of Tires: Yes, low tire pressure increases the chance of a popped tire or damage to your wheel due to potholes.
    • Avoid Swerving into Traffic: Part of the reason why potholes are so dangerous is due to the fact that many drivers will try to swerve in order to avoid them… causing the potential for an accident! Be smart, check your mirrors, and don’t get into an accident just to avoid a pothole.
  • Keep Your Hands on the Wheel: If you cannot avoid the pothole, try slowing down with two hands on the wheel, keeping it as straight as possible. This will help you avoid any alignment damage to your tires.

There you have it. For all your pothole repairs Sunshine Coast, give Asphalt Concepts a call on 07 5495 8575, or contact us via our website. We look forward to assisting with all of your pothole repair needs!
