Fix Failing Commercial Pavement Before Small Problems Become Expensive Ones
Cracking, rutting, base failure, and surface deterioration are the warning signs every commercial property owner in Albuquerque, NM eventually faces. Left alone, these problems accelerate — water infiltrates, the base weakens, and what could have been a straightforward repair becomes a full reconstruction. Triangle Paving Co, Inc. has been solving commercial asphalt problems across central New Mexico since 1978, and our approach is straightforward: identify the real cause, address it properly, and leave you with pavement that actually performs.
Many contractors rush asphalt repairs to move on to the next job. We don’t. Our crews evaluate what’s really happening beneath the surface before we prescribe a solution, and we refuse to apply fixes we know won’t last. That discipline is why property managers across New Mexico — including the State of New Mexico on its research campuses — continue to bring their repair projects to Triangle Paving.
Common Commercial Asphalt Problems We Address
- Alligator Cracking — Interconnected cracking patterns that signal base failure and require structural repair, not just surface treatment
- Linear and Transverse Cracking — Single-line cracks that let water into the base and expand rapidly if left untreated
- Rutting and Depressions — Wheel paths and low spots that trap water and indicate underlying stability problems
- Potholes — Full-depth failures that create liability exposure and damage vehicles
- Raveling and Surface Loss — Loose aggregate and deteriorating surface texture, often caused by UV damage and age
- Edge Failure — Breakdown along parking lot perimeters, curbs, and transitions where water and traffic combine
- Drainage-Related Damage — Areas damaged by standing water, poor slope, or failing drainage structures
Our Commercial Asphalt Repair Solution
- Problem Diagnosis — We examine the damage and identify whether the cause is surface-level, base-related, or drainage-driven
- Scope Definition — Based on the diagnosis, we recommend the specific repair type that will actually solve the problem
- Site Preparation — Damaged areas are saw-cut to clean edges, excavated to sound material, and prepared for repair
- Base Correction — If base failure is present, we correct it with proper aggregate and compaction before installing new asphalt
- Hot-Mix Asphalt Placement — Repairs are completed with fresh hot-mix asphalt matched to surrounding pavement
- Compaction and Finishing — Proper roller sequences produce density that makes the repair last instead of failing at the edges
What Makes Repairs Last
- Correct Diagnosis First — A repair that treats the symptom instead of the cause will fail within a year or two
- Clean Saw-Cut Edges — Square, clean edges bond better with new asphalt than ragged excavations
- Base Repair When Needed — New asphalt over a failed base is a guaranteed failure, which is why we correct the base first
- Proper Compaction — Density is what makes repairs durable, and density comes from correct rolling sequences and temperatures
- Right Conditions — Weather and surface moisture affect bond quality, and we will reschedule rather than install in wrong conditions

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my pavement needs repair or replacement?
Small areas of localized damage on an otherwise sound lot are repair candidates. Widespread failure, repeated patching that hasn’t held, or base issues across large areas typically indicate replacement is the better answer. We provide honest assessments.
