Crack-Fill Seal:

     Cracks can form in asphalt or concrete pavements through various modes of distress. Regardless of how the cracks form, they must be repaired to help protect the pavement structure. If the cracks are not maintained, they can ravel and increase in size. Unsealed cracks allow water to penetrate the crack from the pavement surface, which eventually causes potholes and further deterioration. Water intrusion is the number one enemy of pavements. Crack sealing is the single most important and cost-effective maintenance option used to help protect the pavement structure. It is often placed in advance of overlays and surface treatments to improve performance.  At an average cost of $0.50 per linear foot, crack fill is a cost-effective way to extend the life of a roadway.

Benefits of Crack Seal:

•           Prevents sand, stones and dirt from entering open cracks

•           Prevents water from entering and weakening the sub-base and pavement

•           Prevents or delays pothole formation

•           Reduces pavement damage from the freeze-thaw cycle

Crack Seal has a life expectancy of approximately 3-5 years.
