Asphalt Crack Sealing and Repair by City Asphalt Services
Crack filling for asphalt is essential to prevent water from penetrating and causing further damage. If left untreated, water can seep into the cracks, leading to the asphalt surface deteriorating and eventually causing large chunks to dislodge. This not only compromises the integrity of the pavement but can also become a safety hazard for vehicles and pedestrians. Governments worldwide use crack sealing as a preventative maintenance strategy to keep roads safe and compliant.
Crack Sealing Process
At City Asphalt Services, we use a specialized hand-held machine for asphalt crack sealing. This equipment allows us to apply either cold or hot filler, depending on the specific needs of the project. Generally, we utilize cold fill, a solvent-based, highly polymerized sealant that is easily pourable in ambient conditions.
Our cold fill crack sealer has strong adhesive properties, enabling it to bond effectively with a variety of surface types. Its flexibility is crucial, as it needs to accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of the asphalt surface over time, ensuring long-lasting results. The crack filler we use is standard black, blending seamlessly with the existing asphalt surface.
Benefits of Crack Filling and Sealing:
- Prevents Water Penetration: Sealing cracks ensures that water doesn’t seep into the pavement, protecting the base layers and preventing further damage.
- Reduces Asphalt Deterioration: By filling and sealing cracks early, you can avoid more significant issues like potholes, large cracks, or even complete surface failure.
- Extends Pavement Life: Routine crack filling can significantly extend the life of your asphalt, saving you money on larger repairs or replacements.
- Improves Safety: Sealed cracks prevent surface disintegration and ensure a smooth, safe surface for vehicles and pedestrians.
Our Crack Sealing Services:
Cold Crack Sealing: We primarily use cold fill, which is a polymer-based solvent that is easily applied and provides high flexibility and adhesion. This method is ideal for projects requiring fast application and quick drying times.
Hot Crack Sealing: In certain cases, we may use hot-applied crack sealers, which offer exceptional durability. This method involves heating the sealant to ensure a strong bond with the existing asphalt.
Customizable Solutions: Depending on the type and size of the cracks, we tailor our crack sealing process to deliver the best possible results.
Flexible Sealants: Our sealants are designed to remain flexible even as the asphalt surface expands and contracts with changing temperatures. This flexibility ensures that the sealed crack remains intact over time, preventing the need for frequent reapplications.
