What is Crack Sealing
Crack sealing is the process of placing a hot pour rubberized sealant into the identified cracks on the asphalt.
Reasons for Crack Sealing
Filling asphalt cracks in your driveway, and the parking lot is crucial because it extends the life of your asphalt surface and prevents damage on the surface. One of the ways cracks on the surface can damage your asphalt surface is by moisture penetrating through the crack if the water penetrates it can cause the base to become unstable which may lead to more cracks and eventually destroys the whole parking lot or the driveway.
The other reason is to prevent vegetation from growing on the cracks. The reason being, as they begin to grow the roots travel under the surface causing damage to the pavement and ultimately causing potholes.
