The Driveways in Otter Creek

40.1 percent of the housing in Town of Otter Creek, Eau Claire County went up before 1940, and 54.8 percent of it predates 1960. That is old even for this part of Wisconsin, and it changes what a driveway is. A surface that old is normally thin original construction over ground nobody engineered, and a good number have been resurfaced once already. Some of those seal beautifully. Others have a base that was never really built, and no amount of sealer fixes that. Telling the two apart is the whole job here.

98.1 percent of the homes here are detached houses, which is about as close to all of them as this data gets. Practically every surface we are asked about is a private drive with one household on it, and out this way they run long. Length is the thing that surprises people about the number: a drive that takes four minutes to walk is several times the square footage of one in town.

The Town of Otter Creek is township rather than village, so most addresses out here are a fire number on a town road. That is not a complication and it does not put a job out of reach. It does change the shape of the work: a rural drive usually meets the road rather than a curb, and what fails first is the edge and the apron rather than the middle. Rural drives get measured rather than estimated by eye, so the number you get is for your drive rather than for an average one.

Questions From Otter Creek

What people here call us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
Is a driveway this old in Otter Creek worth sealing at all?
Often yes, and it is worth a look rather than a guess, because a place with 40.1 percent of its housing built before 1940 has more genuinely worn-out surfaces than a newer one does. Press the cracked areas with your foot. If the surface flexes, the base under it has failed and sealer will not help; those sections have to be cut out. If it is solid underfoot and simply gray and cracked on top, it is a good candidate.
Why does the end of our driveway break up before the rest of it?
Because it is doing two jobs. Out here a drive meets a town road rather than a curb, so the asphalt has nothing beside it holding it in, and that apron takes the plow, the road salt and every vehicle that turns onto it. Edges and aprons fail first almost everywhere in township. They are also the cheapest part to put right if it is caught before the base under them goes.
How much does a long rural driveway cost compared to one in town?
More, because there is more of it, and 98.1 percent of the homes here are detached houses on their own drive. What we will not do is guess at the length. A rural drive gets measured, and the number is for that drive rather than for an average one. The estimate is free, so finding out costs nothing.
How far is Town of Otter Creek, Eau Claire County from Eau Claire, and does the drive change the price?
About 17.9 miles southeast, in Eau Claire County. The estimate is free either way, and the number you approve is the number you pay. If several places on the same road want theirs done, mention it when you call.
