Hi Everyone,
I'm wondering how public utilities work especially in road/street repair/fix (well, I don't know which one is in use) in your place/country.
In my country, if the road/street already severely broken or have a hole, they just put asphalt on it and ended with 'higher than the road itself stack'.
If the road is severely broken and there are high official government officer like minister or president/vice will pass the way, they will just 'stack' the old asphalt, just like making a new road, as the result, the road will become higher and higher than the surrounding.
Take a look at photos I took several minutes ago.
In the picture one below, you can see how street level seen from inside my house.
My house is built about 15 years ago, it was built to be higher 20cm from the street level in order to prevent flood.
But, now the road is higher about 30cm from my house floor caused by stack and stack of asphalt made by public work/utilities working when renewing the street as you can see in the picture.

In the picture two below, you can see the new asphalt already laid (the blackest one), last night in middle night by public work worker and again make the road higher and higher than my house floor now.
When the rain is falling, I always have my worry level increased to highest level in worry of flood/water invading my home.

I heard in some countries, they 'grab' and clean the old street asphalt before laying a new asphalt and that's why their citizen have no worry about having their house floor lower than street.
my question is, is this kind of thing happen in your country/place too?
