Crack Sealing

Crack filling is a critical and cost-effective pavement maintenance solution. It involves applying a ruberized sealent to seal cracks, restoring structural integrity, and preventing minor issues from becoming costly major repairs.

For an unparalleled crack sealing solution, the RY10 Elite brings precision and efficiency to our asphalt repair services. Designed to expertly fill cracks and prevent further damage, this innovative equipment melts crack filler evenly, ensuring a strong bond that withstands the elements. With its advanced technology, we can tackle any crack size, ensuring a seamless application that enhances the durability and aesthetics of your asphalt.

Key Benefits of Crack Filling

 

Repairing cracks when they first appear is the smartest, most economical action a property owner can take.

  • Extends Pavement Lifespan: Crack filling prevents cracks from widening and slows deterioration, which can extend the pavement’s life by several years (typically 2 to 5 years, or more in well-maintained pavement).
  • Water Damage Prevention: This is the primary function. The filler blocks water, debris, and oil from penetrating the pavement surface, protecting the underlying foundation (sub-base) from erosion and weakening.
  • Saves Money: It is significantly more affordable than major repairs like full resurfacing or replacement. Proactive filling avoids the high cost associated with neglected asphalt.
  • Improves Safety and Aesthetics: Filling eliminates tripping hazards for pedestrians and reduces the risk of vehicle damage (like flat tires or pothole formation), while restoring the smooth, clean appearance of the surface.
  • Pothole Prevention: By blocking water penetration and freeze-thaw cycles, crack filling is a direct measure to prevent small cracks from evolving into large, costly potholes

Pairing with Sealcoating

 

Crack filling is considered an essential prerequisite for sealcoating.

Sealcoating does not seal cracks; it protects the surface from UV rays and chemicals. Applying crack filler before sealcoating creates a truly protective, smooth, and aesthetically enhanced surface.
