Asphalt pavements are bound to develop cracks as part of the natural aging process, making crack sealing a very important part of extending the longevity of your pavement. However, if left unresolved, these seemingly harmless pavement cracks can turn into serious problems.

Crack Sealing Importance

Water seeping underneath your parking lot and infiltrating the foundation is just one example. When exposed to moisture, foundations made from rock or clay may erode. That erosion destabilizes the pavement’s structure leading ultimately to costly repair areas and potholes. Don’t wait, take steps now against potential asphalt damage before it becomes too late.

Protect your pavement from the damaging effects of moisture and other hazardous materials with crack sealing. This important preventive measure acts as a shield between your asphalt surface and potentially harmful substances. In turn, effectively reducing the chance for distress to reach its base layers and extending the life of your pavement.

To ensure a comprehensive and durable crack sealing process, we start by scouring all cracks with pressurized air or a rotating wheel. This sweeping removes vegetative matter that can deteriorate the sealant when applied. Then, an ultra-durable hot rubberized compound is injected directly into each fissure to meet federal highway standards. This guarantees protection of your parking lot infrastructure from nature.
