Understanding Chuckholes: Causes, Repair, and Prevention

Chuckholes are small holes or potholes that form in a road or pavement due to the deterioration of the surface over time. They can be caused by a variety of factors, including wear and tear from traffic, weather conditions, and poor maintenance. Chuckholes can be a hazard for drivers and can lead to flat tires or other damage if not addressed.

The term "chuckhole" is thought to have originated in the United States and is commonly used in the construction and transportation industries. It is often used to describe small potholes that are too large to be considered minor cracks but too small to be considered major potholes. Chuckholes can be repaired with a variety of materials, including asphalt patching or concrete repair, depending on the severity of the damage and the condition of the surrounding pavement.
