Fixing asphalt cracks is critical to prolonging the lifespan of your pavement. One of the biggest threats to your pavement is water. Cracks allow water to get down into the foundation of your asphalt which will erode it and compromise its structural integrity. Also, if water freezes, it causes heaving. Heaving is the formation of ice pockets in your foundation that if left unattended will rapidly deteriorate your pavement.

Cracks also allow oil, dirt, and other debris into the pavement, all of which contribute to erosion and could end up costing you thousands in repairs.

Repairing cracks in asphalt pavement is done through a process called crack sealing. It’s an affordable method of sealing off the existing cracks so that they don’t allow any water or other damaging materials to get inside your pavement.

The material used to seal the cracks is called crack fill and is made up of a polymer material which is heated to a high temperature and poured into the cracks. The material will bond with the existing asphalt creating a strong seal and prevent the crack from doing any further damage to your asphalt.

The damage that cracks do to your pavement cannot be understated. When cracks begin to appear on your asphalt driveway due to weather, vehicle traffic, or poor installation, thinking of it as a ticking time bomb.
