Crack sealing is the first defense against pavement deterioration, a cost effective maintenance step for the overall health and longevity of your pavement. Crack filling prevents moisture from penetrating into the pavement, affecting the base and breaking down the binder. Minimizing water damage will also stop weeds from taking root. Plant growth can push the pavement up, undermine structural integrity, and lead to failures and potholes.
Hot pour crack fillers stay flexible after curing. This allows for better overall performance: the product moves with the expansion and contraction of the asphalt during air and ground temperature changes. Hot pour crack sealants create a superior bond to the surrounding asphalt, keeping cracks sealed better, and protecting the asphalt from water intrusion for much longer than cold pour sealants.
Regularly scheduled maintenance is integral to protecting and extending the life of your investment!
