Hot Crack Filler
The breakdown of any asphalt parking lot comes in stages. We should strive to keep our lot protected with a routine schedule of sealcoat and maintenance. However there are times when cracks will occur. We can't stop cracks from forming but we can prolong the process.
The stages leading up to cracks are:
- 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.
Crack sealing is a method in which hot sealant from kettle machines is applied to working 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.
It may not be necessary to pay a fortune for a new parking lot.
