Could Infrared Patching Be The Ticket To Winning the Winter Season?

Rémi Thériault

THE CLIENT

Fissures et Scellant Rive-Sud, an asphalt maintenance company, is the brainchild of business owner Rémi Thériault. The company services Rive-Sud and the surrounding areas. The business has been going strong for many years, with crack repair and sealcoating as the company's bread and butter.

THE CHALLENGE

Fissures et Scellant Rive-Sud's main source of income comes from crack filling, line striping, and asphalt sealcoating. Rémi and his crew also offer snow plow services during winter.

But just like other asphalt maintenance businesses operating in Canada and the upper half of the US, most of Rémi's crew hibernate during winter. After all, roads, parking lots, and driveways are covered in snow. Unfortunately, the prolonged downtime affects the company's bottom line. By the time spring rolls around, the company's coffers are almost empty.

So Rémi thought of a way to make sure that he and his crew can still work all year long and reach their annual financial goals. After trawling through the internet, talking to friends, and exploring different options to boost his income during winter, he finally found pothole repair.

THE ASPHALT KINGDOM SOLUTION

Pothole repair is one of the few asphalt maintenance services a contractor can do all year. After seeing Asphalt Kingdom's video about the RY2X2 Asphalt Infrared Heater on YouTube and how one contractor made $1,000 per day, Rémi finally decided to give the machine a try.

Rémi's first RY2X2 Asphalt Infrared Heater arrived in December of 2021, and since then, it has become a hit among his clients. Fissures et Scellant Rive-Sud was fully booked all winter long, and they were able to make over $30,000 with just three machines.
