WHAT IS CRACK SEALING?
As we’ve mentioned earlier, hot crack fill services are a method asphalt providers utilize to mend cracks that form in asphalt pavement. This method is commonly referred to as crack sealing which involves hot sealant from kettle machines being applied to existing cracks to prevent water intrusion.
- Crack sealants are rubberized and have the ability to seal the crack while staying flexible with the pavement’s movement.
- Beneficial for active cracks that continue to extend in size and severity over time
- Crack sealants stop water and debris from entering the crack, protecting the longevity of the pavement.
WHAT ARE THE STAGES THAT LEAD TO CRACKS?
Typically, most asphalt will be subjected to cracks over time. The main contributing factors include high traffic volume, prolonged sun exposure, and poor or infrequent maintenance, to name a few. While small cracks seem minor, they can further develop and create hazardous conditions down the line.
The most common phases of asphalt cracks occurring include:
- Sealcoat begins to wear down the surface
- As a result, your parking lot becomes discolored or faded
- Asphalt dries out, making it weak and open to cracks.
