Crack Filling Service
Expert Crack Filling Solutions for Pavement Preservation
Cracks in asphalt pavement are more than just cosmetic issues—they're entry points for water, debris, and chemicals that can cause extensive damage. Our professional crack filling services seal these vulnerabilities, preventing further deterioration and extending the lifespan of your pavement. Using advanced materials and techniques, we provide durable solutions that withstand temperature changes and heavy traffic.
Why Crack Filling is Essential
Unfilled cracks allow water to penetrate the pavement base, causing:
- Base erosion and structural weakening
- Freeze-thaw damage in colder climates
- Vegetation growth within cracks
- Accelerated oxidation and pavement aging
- Increased repair costs over time

Frequently Asked Questions About Crack Filling
Cracks should be filled as soon as they appear, ideally when they are ¼ inch or wider. Early intervention prevents water infiltration that can cause further damage and more expensive repairs.
We use premium hot-pour rubberized asphalt sealants or cold-pour crack fillers, depending on crack size and weather conditions. These materials remain flexible to accommodate temperature changes.
No, crack filling requires completely dry surfaces for proper adhesion. We schedule crack repair projects during dry weather to ensure optimal results and longevity.
Properly filled cracks can last 3-5 years or longer, depending on traffic volume, climate conditions, and maintenance. Regular inspections and maintenance extend the lifespan.
Yes, absolutely. All cracks should be properly filled and repaired before sealcoating. Otherwise, cracks will reappear through the sealcoat, compromising its effectiveness.
