What is Asphalt Crack Filling?
From sidewalks and driveways to parking lots and patios, every pavement experiences the natural wear and tear that comes with aging. Ground movement, extreme weather conditions, and invasive tree roots are additional leading causes of pavement cracking.
When cracks start to spread, it’s time to fill them. Crack filling is a type of maintenance that should be performed annually throughout the life of your asphalt pavement to ensure its longevity and functionality. Crack filling also helps you avoid more costly repairs and replacements down the road.
Our Crack Filling Process
Our crack filling process involves these three steps.
Prepare the Surface
We use a wire brush, a broom, or compressed air to remove any debris from the cracks for proper adhesion.
Apply the Material
Hot pour crack filler is applied to the cracks. This material is heated to a high temperature to ensure proper flow and adhesion to the crack walls.
Finish & Cure
We smooth the crack filler with a squeegee to ensure it’s even with the surrounding pavement. The crack filler is then left to cure to ensure it has hardened properly and will provide a long-lasting seal.
