Steps in the Crack Filling Process
- Properly Preparing: We secure the property for safety and cleanliness.
- Heat the Asphalt Compound: The asphalt crack filler is heated to approximately 300°F for proper application.
- Filling Cracks in Asphalt: The hot compound is squeezed into the pavement breaks, allowing it to fill and bond to the surrounding pavement surface.
- Ensure Flexibility: The filler can expand and contract with temperature changes.
- Cool the Filler: The material quickly solidifies as it cools for immediate protection.
- Apply Black Sand: We cover the affected area with black sand to prevent tracking.
Crack Filling FAQ
Let the Gregoire Paving asphalt experts answer what you want to know about pavement cracking: how it happens, ways to prevent it, and how to fix it.
When should cracked pavement be filled?
- Regularly throughout the life of the pavement, ideally once a year, to maintain optimal pavement condition.
Can all types of cracks be filled?
- No, only straight linear cracks can be filled. Because they result from deeper structural issues, crocodile cracking, fatigue cracks, and alligator cracks in asphalt indicate more serious damage and require more extensive repairs.
Does sealcoating hide cracks?
- Sealcoating does not hide cracks and joints or crack filler, though it improves the overall appearance and provides additional protection.
What’s the best way to prevent cracks?
- Annual inspections, crack sealing, and asphalt maintenance are the best methods for preventing cracks and maintaining the health of your asphalt surface.
