🚨 EMERGENCY SINKHOLE REPAIR TA Travel Center Bloomsburg, PA 🚨
These before and after photos show an emergency repair our crew recently completed at the TA Travel Center in Bloomsburg, PA.
What started as severe alligator cracking and extensive pavement deterioration eventually turned into a dangerous sinkhole beneath the parking lot.
Here’s what happened…
As asphalt ages, cracks begin to open. If those cracks aren’t sealed, rainwater has only one place to go beneath the pavement. Over time, that water erodes the stone base supporting the asphalt, creating a hidden underground void. Eventually, the pavement collapses.
Thankfully:
✅ No one was injured.
✅ No trucks or vehicles were parked over the collapse.
✅ The hazard was identified before a much larger failure occurred.
Our crew responded quickly, excavated the failed area, removed the unstable material, rebuilt the foundation, and restored the area to a stable condition, preparing it for new pavement.
This repair could have been prevented.
Routine parking lot inspections and preventative maintenance are one of the best investments a property owner can make.
✔️ Inspect your parking lot weekly.
✔️ Seal hot-tar cracks before water reaches the base.
✔️ Repair isolated failures before they become emergencies.
This is a perfect example of spending cents on crack sealing yesterday versus thousands of dollars on emergency structural repairs today.
At Pave-It Inc., we don’t just repair asphalt we help facility managers, property owners, and travel centers protect their investment through proactive maintenance and asset preservation.
Don’t wait until your parking lot collapses.
Protect it. Preserve it. Perform.
