Crack Sealing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As the seasons change, asphalt contracts and expands. This movement causes cracks. Crack sealing is used to treat isolated random cracks in a pavement system. Cracks can be routed and cleaned with compressed air, then a hot rubberized asphalt material is placed into the opening. Crack sealing prevents surface water from migrating through a pavement structure and into the sub-grade. The hot rubber will retain its elasticity during repeated freeze or thaw cycles.\n<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

Crack Sealing Procedure<\/h3>\n

\u25cf\tClean cracks in an area\/areas with high-pressure air of all dirt and debris.<\/p>\n

\u25cf\tAn asphalt crack cleaning machine to used on cracks that have lot of soil\/vegetation in them.<\/p>\n

\u25cf\tPlace backer rod\/sand in cracks larger than a 1\/2<\/strong> inch before any sealing is done.<\/p>\n

\u25cf\tSeal those cracks with a hot pour rubberized crack sealant.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n

\n

Please Note: There might be some exceptions to the Crack Sealing Procedure as listed below. <\/strong>

\nIf there is a lot of tall weeds and grass in the driveway\/parking lot to be sealed they should be sterilized with a product like roundup at least 1<\/strong> week prior before any crack sealing is done.

\n Hot pour materials are designed for cracks up to 1<\/strong>\u2033 typically found in driveways parking lots. Larger cracks over 1<\/strong>\u2033 can still be sealed by this method to avoid a more expensive future repair, however, the products typically aren\u2019t designed to stand-up to these types of larger cracks and voids. In those cases we would recommend some form of asphalt repair.\n<\/p>
