Crack Sealing

Is Asphalt Crack Sealing Effective?

Even the greatest asphalt pavements will ultimately develop cracks, despite its resilience. The pavement can crack over time as a result of UV radiation and frequent freeze/thaw cycles. If the craftsmanship or materials used were subpar, cracks could appear early in the pavement's life. Premature cracking can also suggest that the pavement isn't being subjected to higher loads or traffic volumes than it was designed to handle. If not addressed, water will swiftly reach and destroy the foundation, jeopardizing the entire structure's stability and hastening the deterioration of the pavement.  Asphalt pavement cracks can be repaired in two ways by paving companies. Asphalt crack sealing and crack filling are two of these services. Despite the fact that many people use these names interchangeably, these are two distinct ways for dealing with different sorts of cracks. Both approaches are extremely cost-effective for preventing water penetration and extending the life of the pavement, but the contractor must select the appropriate formula for the specific pavement.

Crack Sealing is a Crucial Part of a Pavement Preservation Plan.

Sealcoating and crack filling are part of a routine pavement maintenance program that will more than double the life of your asphalt pavement while also improving curb appeal. Repairing or replacing asphalt pavement is much more expensive than sealcoating and crack filling. The key to successful crack filling and sealing is to repair and fill cracks while they are still minor, as crack filling prevents new fractures from emerging.

Moisture Intrusion is the leading cause of pavement failure, and crack sealing provides superior protection against it.

If cracks are not closed, rain and moisture will travel through the pavement, eroding the basic components and eventually causing potholes and pavement breakdown. Filling cracks with crack filler helps keep rain and moisture out of the pavement, preventing erosion and collapse. The rate of deterioration of the pavement is greatly reduced by preventing water from entering. Crack sealing also inhibits aggregate loss around the crack's edges.

What is Cold Applied Crack Filling & Sealing?

Filling and sealing cracks in asphalt pavement with cold applied crack filling and sealing is a quick, cost-effective, and efficient method. In the pavement repair sector, the words "filling" and "sealing" are interchangeable. Both phrases fundamentally mean the same thing, with some referring to rubberized elastomeric materials as "sealing." Cold applied crack filler is commonly used in parking lots and driveways, but it may also be used on roads and streets with good results. Cold Crack Fillers are made up of a clay-filled, polymer-modified asphalt emulsion liquid that flows into cracks at room temperature.

What is Hot Pour Crack Filling & Sealing?

Hot pour cracking is heating rubberized asphalt blocks in an oil-jacketed melter before pouring the heated material into cracks in roadways and parking lots. In most situations, hot pour crack filling and sealing is done on roads and highways, as well as parking lots. Quick set times are a benefit of hot pouring (10 minutes or less). You can drive on the hot pour material once it has cooled.
