There is more to crack sealing than filling the openings. Expert technicians will evaluate your pavement’s cracks to determine the appropriate repair type. The goal is to save you money and ensure the repair meets your needs.
- Examining the crack formation. What types of cracks does the pavement show? Some are dormant, so they are highly unlikely to expand or spread. However, others are quite active and are visibly spreading. Each type of crack calls for a different crack sealing technique.
- Surface preparation. Our team cordons off the area we will work on. Next, we prepare the pavement by cleaning it and removing chemical deposits.
- Blacktop crack filler. A blacktop crack filler is the ideal solution for dormant or inactive cracks. It seals the surface to prevent water from seeping into the cracks. Adding a rigid compound also restores the pavement’s overall integrity.
- Pliable asphalt crack sealer. In contrast, larger cracks signal significant stress on the pavement. Rigid compounds would only aggravate the problem. Therefore, our team will use a different type of sealing compound that prevents water or chemical seepage and supports the level of movement your surface needs.
